Transformative Care for Gut Health
Testing and Treating the Root Cause for Lasting Wellness
At Well Rooted Women, we understand that gut health is central to overall wellbeing. Serving St. Charles, Chicagoland, and beyond, our integrative approach combines advanced gut health testing with holistic and functional therapies to uncover and address the root causes of digestive issues, restoring balance to your body and mind.
Why Gut Health Matters
Your gut is often called your “second brain,” playing a critical role in digestion, immunity, and even mood regulation. When the gut is out of balance, it can lead to a variety of symptoms, including:
- Bloating and gas
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Acid reflux or heartburn
- Food sensitivities or intolerances
- Unexplained fatigue
- Skin conditions such as eczema or acne
- Anxiety, depression, or brain fog
At Well Rooted Women, we don’t just treat symptoms—we dig deeper to identify the root causes of your gut health issues.

- Stool Analysis: To evaluate microbiome balance, inflammation, and digestion.
- Food Sensitivity Testing: Identifying trigger foods that may be causing discomfort.
- SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) Testing: Detecting bacterial imbalances in the small intestine.
- Leaky Gut Assessment: Identifying intestinal permeability and its impact on your health.
