The Gut Is Where Most Chronic Illness Begins.

Every Systemic Condition Has a Gut Chapter.
Intestinal Permeability
Leaky Gut Syndrome
The barrier that isn't holding.
Intestinal hyperpermeability occurs when the tight junctions of the gut lining become compromised, allowing undigested food particles, toxins, and pathogens to enter the bloodstream and trigger systemic immune responses. It is implicated in autoimmunity, food reactivity, brain fog, skin conditions, and inflammatory disease. Assessment and targeted repair are among the highest-yield interventions in functional medicine.
Arbour Longevity approach: Gut lining assessment via OAT and clinical evaluation · Targeted repair with clinician-selected nutritional and supplemental protocols · Identification and elimination of driving factors (food reactivity, dysbiosis, medication burden)
Common Presentations
- Bloating
- Food reactions
- Skin issues
- Brain fog
- Fatigue
- Autoimmune
Microbiome Imbalance
Dysbiosis & SIBO
The wrong bacteria, in the wrong proportions, in the wrong places.
Gut dysbiosis, disruption of the microbial ecosystem, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) are among the most common and most underdiagnosed drivers of chronic gastrointestinal symptoms, fatigue, nutrient malabsorption, and mood disruption. Arbour Longevity's assessment identifies dysbiotic patterns and designs targeted restoration protocols.
Arbour Longevity approach: Comprehensive microbial assessment · Targeted antimicrobial or probiotic protocols · Dietary modification · Follow-up assessment to confirm restoration
Common Presentations
- IBS symptoms
- Bloating
- Gas
- Nutrient deficiency
- Fatigue
Immune-Mediated Food Reactions
Food Sensitivity
Not an allergy. Something slower, subtler, and more damaging.
Unlike IgE-mediated food allergies (immediate, dramatic), food sensitivities involve delayed IgG and IgA immune reactions that can take 24–72 hours to manifest, making them nearly impossible to identify without testing. They are among the most consistent drivers of chronic inflammation, brain fog, joint pain, skin conditions, and gut symptoms.
Arbour Longevity approach: Food sensitivity panel (IgG/IgA) · Structured elimination and reintroduction protocol · Gut lining repair to reduce reactivity over time · Dietary framework built around individual response
Common Presentations
- Chronic inflammation
- Brain fog
- Joint pain
- Skin
- IBS
- Fatigue
Autoimmune Trigger Identification
Gut & Autoimmunity
The gut connection most autoimmune patients were never told about.
The gut-immunity connection is one of the most established in functional medicine research. Intestinal permeability, molecular mimicry between gut antigens and self-tissue, and dysbiosis-driven immune activation are among the most consistent triggers for autoimmune flares and disease progression. Arbour Longevity's functional approach identifies and addresses gut-driven autoimmune triggers alongside, not instead of, conventional disease management.
Arbour Longevity approach: Gut-autoimmune trigger identification · Collaborative approach with conventional rheumatology/immunology when indicated · Anti-inflammatory nutritional protocols · Gut repair as adjunctive autoimmune support
Common Presentations
- Hashimoto's
- Rheumatoid
- Lupus adjunct
- Inflammatory skin
- IBD support
