Are We A Good Fit?

At The Real Gut Doctor, our #1 priority is to help you finally overcome your chronic wellness issues.

Unlike most conventional medicine practitioners, we look at lifestyle and contributing factors that may have caused your symptoms. Through advanced lab testing, we discover what is causing the imbalances that have kept you stuck in a chronic illness cycle so you can finally break free.

Our Unique Approach

Our Real Gut Doctor Roadmap is a unique approach to help motivated adults in their 40s, 50s and beyond struggling with cardiometabolic, hormonal and digestive issues regain their energy, edge and peak performance so they can enjoy a well-balanced, productive life looking and feeling their absolute best… without extreme lifestyle changes or lifelong dependence on prescription drugs.

We partner with each client to achieve these steps, starting with the Review Phase:

During the intake, we’ll review your past medical history and any previous lab tests, so we can assess symptoms or anything your doctor might have missed.
Next, we'll determine the need for additional lab tests to help pinpoint the real reasons for your gut or hormonal imbalances, which might also include genetic tests and testing for toxins & heavy metals. 
After that, we'll typically evaluate nutritional deficiencies and adjust your diet – switching you to a highly-tailored diet personalized for your health goals or deploying the appropriate supplement protocols to address nutrient depletion and restore immune & mitochondrial function.
The next three steps focus on rebooting and optimizing gut & metabolic function, starting with pathogens & stealth infections that are often at the root of gut dysbiosis. We repair the gut lining to reestablish intestinal integrity so we can lower inflammation and undo the damage caused by things like leaky gut.
Next, we focus on sleep and stress management – by improving sleep hygiene and resetting your internal body clock to further accelerate self-healing. Specifically, we’ll strengthen parasympathetic tone to help you shift from “flight or flight” to “rest and digest” mode – while dialing down inflammatory signals and enhancing mood and focus.
The last step in the Reboot phase is dedicated to optimizing brain performance, memory and peak performance – using tools such as QEEG and neurotransmitter support for balanced mood and focus.
Once we make headway with rebooting gut + metabolic health, sleep, stress & brain health, we’ll turn our attention to rebalancing hormones and promoting longevity & healthy aging.
In the hormone rebalancing step, we provide thyroid and adrenal support to restore energy and improve metabolism. We also cover blood sugar balance and address possible insulin resistance that can keep you from losing weight and feeling energized.
Next, if appropriate, we'll introduce cutting-edge regenerative treatments to speed up the healing process and support cellular regeneration, energy production and weight loss.
The final step of our Real Gut Doctor Health Roadmap focuses on longevity & healthy aging – using a senescence protocol to get rid of “Zombie cells” and further optimize brain function & memory. Together, we explore the things that will help you be unstoppable as you move into each passing decade – anchoring in healthy habits and a mindset & an attitude of continuous improvement.

Testimonials

  • My mother had brain surgery 4 years ago and ever since then, it's been a battle to find her a specialist who can recommend supplements that can help her heal without prescription drugs. We made a functional medicine appointment for her with Dr. Mark and he immediately knew what to recommend for her. This is the first time in 4 years that my mother did not have a bad reaction to the new supplements she tried and she actually says that she feels better when she takes them. For my family, this is great because it's one step closer to helping her body heal without prescription drugs and this has been a 4-year battle. I just stocked up on supplements for her actually. It's the perfect combination. This place has its own supplement line which is awesome!

  • Over the years I've visited many medical practices, with varying approaches to getting to the source of the health problem, vs. those that only treat the symptom without addressing the causes (i.e. Hospitals, Kaiser, etc... ) Dr. Jeffrey Mark and Dr. Fran are by far the most knowledgeable, smart, and technologically forward-thinking practicing practitioners in the Bay Area. They use so many state-of-the-art tools. They're constantly going to conferences to learn about all the emerging ways to really help people to be healthy; much more so than most doctors. They really know how to interpret lab values - using cutting-edge, sophisticated lab analytics - to determine all the contributing factors involved- to come up with a very complete and comprehensive way to not only fix my health problems and symptoms but also get to the root of why and all the contributing elements to the problem. I am so pleased and happy with trusting my health with everyone at All Functional Health. Every visit I feel like they truly care about helping me get better.

  • I'm so incredibly impressed with his Dr. Mark’s attention to detail and efforts to really get to the root cause of what was wrong. He's careful to take time with each patient and really listens to what is going on. Then he carefully decides the action plan, carefully selects the types of tests he needs to run to identify the root of the problem, and utilizes the information to get his patients well from the inside out. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and deep down he IS genuinely a good person. So many other GI doctors just want to prescribe their patient's many medications to cover up the problems. Dr. Mark really wants to get you better! And the staff is always friendly and helpful. They go above and beyond for their patients and it makes a world of difference! Thank you!!!

  • I needed a new gastroenterologist to help manage my ulcerative colitis. I've seen Dr. Mark twice and he is one of the best M.D.s I've ever seen. He has suggested tests Dr. Lane never imagined to better titrate my meds and manage my disease. He is very smart, and upbeat and seems to take a personal interest in making sure my UC doesn't flare up and that the Side Effects of my medications are managed appropriately. Dr. Mark has taken a more holistic approach to my UC and suggested some dietary restrictions. They have worked miraculously and I am now off prednisone for longer than I have been in the past 8 years. I highly recommend him.
