Dr. Carolyn Coker Ross is a nationally known author, speaker and expert in the use of Integrative Medicine. She is Board certified in both Preventive Medicine and Addiction Medicine and completed a 2 year fellowship at Dr. Andrew Weil’s Program in Integrative Medicine at The University of Arizona. While she graduated from one of the most prestigious medical schools in the US, she quickly learned that conventional medicine was not able to address the majority of her patient’s day to day issues. What she learned from her patients and from facing her own health crisis changed the way she practiced medicine and expanded her understanding of what it takes to awaken your full healing potential and move from the curative paradigm of western medicine to the belief in the body’s self-healing capacity and the possibility of a life of vitality and wholeness.

Ever heard of Leaky Gut Syndrome?
You may have heard of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), but what do you know about Leaky Gut Syndrome? Leaky Gut Syndrome is a common health disorder in which the intestinal tract is more permeable or more porous than normal. Toxins which should naturally be repelled and eliminated leak through small openings in the lining of the intestines into the bloodstream. Leaky Gut syndrome can cause food allergies because of the release of toxins from the gut which promotes inflammation and is associated with poor absorption of nutrients leading to some nutritional deficiencies.

You can hardly turn on the TV, listen to the radio or read a popular magazine without seeing commercials announcing the latest and greatest weight loss techniques and methods. Coupled with the media focus on the “thin ideal,” it can be hard for one to get a handle on what a healthy body should look like. But more importantly, we’ve lost sight of what a healthy body should feel like.
