GI Detox Support at Austin Transformational Health
A healthy gut is the foundation of whole-body wellness, and sometimes it needs extra support. At Austin Transformational Health, our GI Detox programs combine acupuncture with targeted nutritional support to help your body release toxins, rebalance digestion, and restore energy. Acupuncture treatments also calm the nervous system, improve circulation, and support natural detoxification pathways, making gut-healing more effective and sustainable.
One of our featured detox tools is the Core Restore® 14-Day Kit by Ortho Molecular Products. This clinically designed program provides key nutrients, fiber, and herbal extracts to promote liver function, balance gut bacteria, and support natural cleansing. Dr. Bryn may recommend pairing Core Restore with acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle guidance to create a personalized plan that strengthens digestion, reduces inflammation, and improves overall health.
Gut-Brain Connection
Your gut and brain are in constant communication through what’s known as the gut-brain axis. A balanced gut microbiome helps regulate serotonin, the “feel-good” neurotransmitter that influences mood, stress response, and even sleep. When the gut is out of balance, it can contribute to issues like anxiety, brain fog, or poor sleep quality. Supporting your digestive health with nutrition, stress management, and functional medicine care can lead to clearer thinking, emotional balance, and overall well-being.
GI-MAP® Testing and Personalized Gut Healing
At Austin Transformational Health, we use the GI-MAP® stool test by Diagnostic Solutions Lab to uncover the root causes of gut dysfunction. This advanced DNA-based test detects imbalances in bacteria, yeast, parasites, and viruses, as well as markers for inflammation, digestion, and immune function.
How the Process Works:
Initial Consultation with Dr. Bryn
We start with a one-on-one visit where Dr. Bryn takes a full health history, discusses your symptoms, and determines if GI-MAP testing is right for you.
Simple At-Home Test Collection
The GI-MAP test is a stool sample you can easily collect at home and send directly to the lab for analysis.
Comprehensive Results Review
Once your results are in, Dr. Bryn will review your gut microbiome, digestive health markers, and any pathogens or imbalances that may be contributing to your symptoms.
Personalized Healing Protocol
Based on your results, you’ll receive a tailored treatment plan that may include herbal medicine, targeted supplements, nutrition support, acupuncture, and detox strategies designed to restore balance to your gut and overall health.
Why It Matters
Healing your gut does more than relieve bloating, gas, or constipation. Because your gut is central to immunity, energy, hormones, and even mood, addressing imbalances can help resolve skin issues, fatigue, weight struggles, inflammation, and more.

GI Detox & Gut Health FAQ
What does “gut detox” really mean, and do I need one?
A gut detox isn’t about flushing toxins in a dramatic way. It’s a focused plan that supports your liver, microbiome, and digestion so your body can naturally clear out waste. At ATH, gut detox typically means improving your diet, hydration, fiber, probiotics, and using gentle herbal and supplement protocols rather than drastic cleanses.
Are colon cleanses or juice detoxes effective for gut health?
Not necessarily. The body is already well-equipped to cleanse itself through natural pathways. Clinical sources like the Mayo Clinic report that extreme cleanses or juicing can disrupt digestion, cause nutrient imbalances, or lead to dehydration. Sustainable gut health is best supported with fiber-rich foods, fluids, and balanced lifestyle habits.
What symptoms might suggest I need gut detox support?
Persistent bloating, digestive irregularity, brain fog, low energy, stubborn skin issues, or seasonal sniffles could all hint at an imbalanced gut. These symptoms often improve after stabilizing microbiome support, nutrition, and functional testing tailored to root causes.
How does functional testing like the GI-MAP support gut detox efforts?
The GI-MAP is an advanced stool test that precisely identifies imbalances in your gut microbiome—such as harmful bacteria or inflammation markers—so your detox plan targets the right issues. Once your results are in, Dr. Bryn creates a personalized protocol with herbs, supplements, and nutrition to reset your gut and address symptoms. Learn more about the GI-MAP and our broader testing services on our Functional Medicine Page.
Can improving gut health change things like mood, sleep, or immunity?
Absolutely. A happy gut supports brain function, hormone balance, and immune resilience. When we rebalance digestion through proper nutrition, hydration, supplements, and mindful habits, many patients notice better clarity, steadier mood, and fewer seasonal sniffles, all signs of improved gut harmony.
