Bind toxic metabolites and chemicals as part of the broader repair protocol.
Explore the intestinal environment and its connections with metabolic and immune systems.
Pathway 11 / 13
Modulate inflammation through individualized nutritional and immune support.
See the immune network together with the intestinal surface.
Pathway 09 / 13
Incorporate mindfulness practices to alleviate vagal nerve-induced imbalances.
Follow the vagal pathway from the brainstem through the chest toward the digestive organs.
Pathway 12 / 13

Explore how CCIM connects microbiome repair with the bigger picture of your health.
At our clinic, we focus on repairing the microbiome and addressing microbiome damage, which can have a profound impact on our overall health. Microbiome damage often leads to a chain of events that includes inflammation, toxin buildup, adrenal cortisol production, and ultimately, liver toxicity and neuroendocrine dysfunction, resulting in hormone imbalances.
Healing the microbiome offers a multitude of unparalleled advantages. First and foremost, a balanced microbiome bolsters our immune system, acting as our body's first line of defense against pathogens. By nurturing and restoring this intricate balance, we can enhance our resistance to illness and infections, reducing the risk of various diseases.
Our approach involves customized treatments designed to address each step of this process. By treating the underlying cause, we aim to resolve symptoms and restore wellness. As part of the maintenance plan, we recommend a high fiber diet and lifestyle adjustments that optimize overall well-being.
The gut microbiome, composed of various bacteria including Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Proteobacteria, plays a crucial role in maintaining gut health. It communicates with intestinal cells and immune cells, leading to improved digestion, disease prevention, and suppression of inflammation. Conversely, a diseased gut microbiome has been linked to a range of health conditions including autism, all types of cancer, dementia, heart attacks, strokes, liver and kidney diseases, recurrent infections, mental illness.
We perform comprehensive tests to analyze your unique gut flora, immunology, intestinal health, and endocrine health.
Analyze the unique community of microorganisms in your gut.
Evaluate immune activity as part of the complete microbiome picture.
Assess the intestinal environment, digestive function, and lining.
Consider the hormone systems that influence the whole-body pattern.
