The Natural Gut Process
We start all patients with seeing Dr. Steyr to do an in-depth medical history, physical exam and to discuss testing options. The initial appointment is 90min long and you will leave immediately with a plan to quickly feel better, plus have a road map of what is to come in order to address the root cause of your concerns. Once we know what is happening we can give you the right diet and meal plan with lots of support. Follow-up appointments are 45min long and we will discuss your progress, remove road blocks and ensure you are progressing along as planned. Normally, there is an initial diet that is short term and people then are supported to move back to a healthy and sustainable diet, knowing any food triggers and if possible removing those food triggers. The goal is to have freedom and a full diet, without pain or discomfort. Generally, 4 to 6 sessions are needed to fully address all the digestive concerns, have stable and back to enjoying life and food again.

In 2013 Dr. Joseph Steyr developed the Digestive Reboot, inspired by classical naturopathic diets that have decades of success and blending in modern research such as the low FODMAP diet. However, Dr. Steyr used his Ecology training from his past career to fill in the missing gaps. He realized all of the existing diet plans and recommendations other healthcare providers use had missed fundamental ecological principles, yet the gut is a living microbiome ecosystem. The diet at first was mainly for Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and was very successful.
Dr. Steyr quickly noticed this diet was effective for many digestive concerns, beyond IBS. Over the years, the Digestive Reboot plan has been improved and refined and has seen tremendous success in treating many digestive health concerns.
