Christina Maren, is a doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, she trained in functional medicine through the Institute for functional medicine. She has a virtual telemedicine practice where she sees consultative functional medicine patients in Colorado, Michigan and Texas. The reason she started practicing Functional Medicine is because she had a holistic mindset when it comes to medicine. She knew it would give her a broad overview, but it was sort of a collision between her personal kind of health issues and her professional life that got her to where she is today.

Gut health is so much more than food and what you eat. Our gut is the command center of our body, the second brain, the powerhouse where everything connects. “If you do not have a healthy gut, you do not have a healthy body.” Common causes of bloating and digestive issues Imbalance of good and bad bacteria in the gut Not eating in a slow, relaxed manner - not taking the time to relax and enjoy the food Infection Not getting enough rest or sleep Not taking time in between meals to give the body enough time to digest food Skipping meals or fasting for too long Too little or too much fiber Food intolerance or food sensitivities My info: Website: www.upliftfit.org Instagram: www.instagram.com/faithandfit Twitter: www.twitter.com/laceyadunn Email for coaching & phone consults: fitandfaith@gmail.com OR laceydunn@upliftfitnutrition.com Want to find out more about gut health?
