The Man

Behind the Method

Not Your Average Gut
Health Practitioner

This approach goes beyond putting a "Band-Aid" on your symptoms with medication - it's designed to give your body the tools and resources it needs to finally heal and rebalance itself.

Because of the incredible success I've had reversing gut diseases like Crohn's and Colitis (and other digestive issues that most doctors say can't be helped), I've partnered with medical clinics across the country to help their patients get better too.

What does it mean to reverse IBD?

I use the term "reverse" because IBD is a generally linear and predictable disease because it progresses in fairly typical ways.
By "reversing" IBD, we can actually reverse the timeline in which your disease developed to restore your quality of life and bring on natural healing - so much so that most of our clients forget they ever had it!

"After inviting Josh to join me on some Telemedicine encounters as well as the Master Classes we offered each month, I was very impressed with his fund of knowledge about gut health and principles of functional medicine. I have seen Josh at work on several patients we co-manage, and we have referred back and forth. In 2023 I asked Josh to join the faculty at the Priority Health Academy that I founded in 2017. His acumen and presentation style make him a very good asset for the functional medicine teaching academy."
