Gut Health Certified Dietitian Nutritionist to Treat Digestive (or Gastroenterology) Problems

Your Digestive System – Definition and Function:

The gastrointestinal (GI) system, also known as the digestive system, is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. The organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. Additionally, the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are solid organs of the digestive system

Digestive health is crucial for a well-functioning body and mind. A gut health dietitian-nutritionist is an expert in how diet impacts gut health. They can educate individuals on the basics of digestive health and provide tools for maintaining it. As a dietitian in the Long Island area, Nancy works with patients to offer evidence-based Medical Nutrition Therapy, addressing digestive disorders and promoting health.

The GI tract is the passageway that leads from the mouth to the anus. Its function is to move food and liquid through the system while breaking them into smaller parts, allowing the body to absorb nutrients and transport them to where they are needed. This process sustains and protects overall health.

SYMPTOMS OF AN UNHEALTHY GUT

Digestive symptoms can include gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, reflux, indigestion, and abdominal discomfort or pain. These symptoms vary in severity and frequency. Since everyone’s digestive issues are different, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. An individualized approach is necessary to understand specific conditions and find solutions for maintaining a healthy gut.

I was hesitant at first to start seeing a nutritionist. I was very comfortable with my poor eating habits despite being upset about my weight; however I knew I needed to make a change.Nancy was very understanding from the start. Before meeting with Nancy, I had been in a constant cycle of over-restricting myself to lose weight rapidly, followed by binge eating and gaining it all back plus some more.Over the past year and a half, Nancy has helped me discover normal eating. She helped me understand my hunger and my fullness in addition to helping me choose better food options.Nancy is very dedicated to working with you and helping you achieve your goals. She doesn’t just help you reach your goals — she helps you change your perspective of food and eating for the better. What you learn with Nancy is not temporary — you will carry it with you and practice it throughout your life.I have lost almost 70 pounds since first meeting with Nancy and continuing on my journey. I highly recommend working with her.Nancy, thank you for all of your help!

Although I was unlucky when I developed some health issues, I was very lucky to find Nancy Mazarin, a skilled, intelligent, caring nutritionist. I saw lots of doctors but she was the one who came up with the diagnosis that finally led to my improved health. She was always available when I had questions and was even willing to meet with me one weekend when I was struggling.
