Specialized Nutrition Therapy
Restoring Gut Health from the Inside Out
Comprehensive, root-cause nutrition therapy for IBS, IBD, SIBO, and other gastrointestinal disorders. We don’t just manage symptoms, we help you heal.
Why Gut Health Matters
At Spruce MD, we believe the gut is the foundation of your overall health. Conventional medicine often focuses on managing symptoms with medication, but our Functional Nutrition approach digs deeper.
Whether you are struggling with bloating, chronic pain, or diagnosed conditions like Crohn’s or Colitis, we work to identify the underlying triggers, be it food sensitivities, microbiome imbalances, or inflammation, to create a personalized path to healing.
- Identify inflammatory triggers
- Restore microbiome balance
- Personalized, sustainable meal planning

Data-Driven Nutrition
We don’t guess; we test. Standard advice often fails because everyone’s biology is unique. Your Registered Dietitian may utilize advanced diagnostic tools to tailor your plan specifically to your body’s needs.
- MRT Food Sensitivity Testing

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to cut out all my favorite foods?
No. We build plans that are practical, sustainable, and customized to your needs and goals, not an all-or-nothing “never eat this again” approach. When we do use elimination strategies (for example with food sensitivities), it’s typically targeted and structured, with the goal of expanding your diet when possible, not shrinking it forever.
How long does it take to see results?
It varies. Some people notice changes fairly quickly once we dial in the right nutrition strategy, while others need more time, especially when symptoms are complex or have been going on for a while. We’ll set clear milestones, adjust based on how you’re responding, and focus on steady progress you can maintain.
Do you offer virtual appointments?
Yes. We offer telehealth / online appointments, and our scheduling flow indicates we accept virtual patients.
