How Does Gut Dysfunction Lead to Disease?
Over the course of our lives, exposures to toxins, infections, medications, and stress create inflammation in the lining of our gut, where our immune system is housed. Localized inflammation disrupts the protective gut-blood barrier (GBB) creating systemic inflammation, autoimmunity, and other symptoms that may intuitively seem unrelated to gut dysfunction.


Dr Max's Gut Renewal Roadmap

TESTIMONIALS
Patient Experiences with Dr. Max
Crohn's Disease and IBS
Living with Crohn's disease and IBS was overwhelming until I discovered the compassionate care by Dr. Max. It was also reassuring to know that he experienced the same condition I had. Dr. Max helped me bring my Crohn’s into remission through functional medicine. He even coached me on questions to ask my Gastroenterologist and I became empowered on navigating my relationships with my other doctors. Dr. Max is definitely someone I’m going to keep around long-term and am so glad to have met him!
Food Sensitivities, IBS, Fatigue, Brain Fog
Struggling with food allergies and sensitivities for years took a toll on my quality of life and I felt I was hopping around from doctor to doctor. Thankfully, I found Dr. Max through a family friend of ours and immediately had some tests done and found I had Leaky Gut. Dr. Max helped me heal my gut and I was able to begin slowly adding foods to my diet that I previously reacted to and was totally fine! All my other symptoms seemed to get better too. I'm grateful for the personalized care and support from Dr. Max that has transformed my life.
Long-Covid
I was really struggling after my initial infection with fatigue and brain fog. I felt like a slug. Dr. Max was conscientious of my finances and referred me to a self-paced brain retraining program and I would see Dr. Max for live brain-retraining as needed. It was great that Dr. Max knew more than just what the course taught and helped me get past some blocks I had. I took some supplements as well but Dr. Max really kept it light and I feel so much better. Thanks so much Dr. Max!
Lyme Disease and Coinfections
I had been treating Lyme with my MD and was seeing occasional improvements but it wouldn’t last. Dr. Max co-managed me with my MD and addressed several things outside Lyme such as heavy metals, viral infections, and managing my detox pathways and organ support due to taking heavy duty antibiotics. I am CONVINCED that it was the extra care from Dr. Max that made my Lyme treatment work so well. His personalized approach and familiarity with Lyme has been instrumental in my healing journey.
ADHD
As a mother of a child with ADHD, finding effective treatments was a top priority for our family. Thankfully, we found hope and support through the compassionate care provided by Dr. Max. Through functional medicine, my child has experienced significant improvements in focus, attention, and overall behavior. I’ve even had sessions with Dr. Max myself on brain retraining and my overall stress has greatly improved. We are deeply grateful for his personalized care and compassion and will be recommending him to our friends.
Chronic Pain
Adam, Age 35 Business Development ProfessionalAs a busy professional managing chronic pain was a constant struggle and things weren’t working out with pain killers and physical therapy. I saw Dr. Max for both brain retraining and functional medicine and I've experienced significant improvement in my pain. I had no idea that pain could be solved this way! The personalized care and support provided here have been invaluable in helping me regain control of my life. Thank you!
