A root-cause, evidence-informed approach to better understand gut health, reduce flare-ups, & regain confidence in food!

Chronic digestive symptoms are exhausting. Whether Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis (IBD), dysbiosis (SIBO, SIFO, IMO), or reflux (GERD), you may feel you've tried everything without finding lasting answers.

Our program at Maximal Wellness Clinic LLC complements care from your medical team (does not replace it), even if your 'remission' has lasting flares. Together, we'll identify factors contributing to ongoing symptoms, improve digestive function, build a healthier gut microbiome, and develop sustainable lifestyle strategies tailored specifically to you.

No generic protocols, endless supplements, or further rounds of antibiotics without need. Program Includes:

• Virtual coaching nationwide
• Personalized nutrition & lifestyle guidance
• Advanced microbiome testing included
• Supplement stipend included for client ease
• One-on-one support throughout your journey

Contact us today to schedule your consultation and start your recovery journey.

Phase 1: Discover Your Unique Gut History (Weeks 1–2)

Instead of guessing, we begin by understanding your health history, symptoms, nutrition, and lifestyle. When appropriate, advanced laboratory testing may be used to identify patterns that could be influencing your gut health.

• In-depth intake with Dr. Max
• Functional health questionnaires
• Review of prior lab and imaging results
• Review of your current care plan with your medical doctor
• Discussion of common lab tests and stool testing that clinicians may recommend
• A 7-day food diary to assess your current diet
• Optional, client-selected add-on: Dr. Max’s IBD/IBS Lab Panel

Phase 2: Restore the Foundations of Digestive Health (Weeks 2–6)

We work to create an environment where digestion can function more effectively. For many people, this may include focusing on:

• Meal hygiene habits
• Stomach acid support
• Digestive enzymes
• Bowel motility
• Nervous system regulation
• Sleep hygiene and napping history
• Stress resilience
• Nutrition and potential deficiencies

Phase 3: Rebuild a Diverse and Resilient Microbiome (Weeks 6–12)

Everyone’s gut microbiome is unique. Rather than focusing solely on eliminating “bad bacteria” with antibiotics or herbs, my approach emphasizes restoring balance within the gut ecosystem.

Drawing on your health history, lifestyle, questionnaires, and advanced testing, we develop a personalized strategy that may include:

• Nutrition and dietary recommendations
• Targeted prebiotics
• Probiotics selected based on your individual needs, including specific strains
• Lifestyle interventions
• Daily habit changes
• Other evidence-informed strategies to support a healthier, more adaptable microbial community

Phase 4: Wellness and Long-Term Maintenance (Months 4–6)

During this phase, the focus shifts toward maintaining progress and supporting long-term gut health. This may include:

• The option to transition to Microbiome Labs’ gut restoration protocol
• Monthly sessions to fine-tune your chosen plan, discuss food reintroduction, and address frequently asked questions and common pitfalls
• A final reevaluation that includes symptom tracking and client-directed long-term wellness planning

Throughout the program, we focus on educating clients about gut mucosal integrity, digestive secretions, bile flow, enzyme production, the intestinal barrier, nutrient absorption, vagal tone and the gut-brain axis, and immune tolerance to foods, microbes, and waste products.

Ultimately, the goal is to help you develop the knowledge, tools, and skills to support your digestive health and maintain your well-being over time.
