Gut Health

Gut health plays a central role in digestion, nutrient absorption, immunity and overall wellbeing. Imbalances can contribute to bloating, fatigue, low energy and reduced resilience. Certain nutrients, such as Vitamin B12, are essential for nervous system health but are often poorly absorbed through the gut.

People usually come to us having lived with discomfort for a while. Bloating that arrives predictably after meals, abdominal pain that makes clothes uncomfortable by the afternoon, unpredictable digestion that makes travel and social plans harder than they should be, or a general heaviness and low energy that is difficult to put a finger on. None of this is unusual, but that doesn’t mean you have to keep living with it.

At Hackney Podiatry & Health, we offer Vitamin B12 injections, which bypass gut absorption and provide effective support where deficiency is suspected.

We also provide Colonic Hydrotherapy and Nutritional Advice to help support digestive balance and gut function. Every digestive system is unique and the needs of patients vary – this is why hand-held and bespoke advice from a specialist practitioner, instead of generic advice, can be so transformative. These services work together to improve comfort, vitality and overall health.

Your first appointment is a conversation before it is a treatment. We will want to understand what you are experiencing, how long it has been going on and what you have already tried, and we will be honest if we think something needs investigating by your GP first. Changes in your bowel movements, unexplained weight loss or rectal bleeding call for medical assessment, and we would refer you to your GP in the first instance.
