Restore your gut balance and feel better
If you’re dealing with bloating, stomach discomfort or digestive issues that keep coming back, your gut may be out of balance.
In short
Gut health is how well your digestive system breaks down food, absorbs nutrients and keeps a healthy balance of bacteria, called the microbiome. When that balance is off, bloating, irregularity and discomfort can keep coming back. Vivaa uses stool and microbiome testing to find the cause and plan treatment. Telehealth in GA, CA, TN and WA.
Understanding gut health
Why is gut health so important?
- Immune system
- Hormones
- Inflammation
- Mood & focus
- Nutrient absorption
Most people think of gut health as just digestion: bloating, stomach aches or what happens after a bad meal. But your gut does far more than process food. It is one of the most influential systems in your body, and when it isn’t working well, everything else feels it.
Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria and other microorganisms that make up your microbiome. This ecosystem helps regulate your immune system, produces hormones and neurotransmitters, controls inflammation and even affects your focus and mood. When that balance is disrupted by stress, diet, medications or underlying health issues, the effects ripple outward.
That’s why poor gut health often shows up as fatigue, skin problems, brain fog, anxiety, hormone imbalance and unexplained weight gain, not just digestive discomfort.
Addressing gut health isn’t about following an elimination diet or taking a probiotic and hoping for the best. It’s about understanding what’s disrupting your gut and restoring the balance your body needs.
Common concerns we help with
- Bloating and gas Persistent discomfort that may point to a microbiome imbalance or inflammation.
- Constipation and diarrhea Irregularity that often links back to stress, diet or an underlying condition.
- Food sensitivities Symptoms after certain foods can reflect increased intestinal permeability or an immune response.
- Abdominal pain Recurring pain that basic tests haven’t explained may need a deeper look.
- Brain fog or fatigue Poor nutrient absorption and the gut-brain connection can affect energy and focus.
- Skin issues Acne, eczema and rashes can be linked to an imbalance in gut bacteria.

Common questions
Is this available in my state?
Yes, if you’re located in Georgia, California, Tennessee or Washington at the time of your visit. We can’t see patients in other states.
What happens at my first visit?
A video consultation covering your symptoms, health history, lifestyle and any labs you already have. No referral is needed.
What does a stool or microbiome test show?
A comprehensive stool test looks at the balance of beneficial and harmful bacteria in your gut, markers for inflammation, digestive enzyme levels, and signs of parasites or yeast overgrowth. It can also show how well you're absorbing nutrients. This gives us a much clearer picture than a standard test of what's driving your symptoms.
How long until symptoms improve?
Many patients notice improvements in bloating, energy and digestion within two to four weeks of starting their plan. Deeper changes to the microbiome and gut lining typically take three to six months. Everyone is different, and we adjust your plan at each follow-up based on how you're responding.
