About

A more intentional path to healing.

At Whole Gut Health, we move beyond symptom management and standardized protocols. Care is individualized, integrative, and grounded in the body's innate capacity to heal.

Why Whole Gut Health is different

Depth and discernment over automation.

We move beyond symptom management and standardized functional-medicine frameworks. The body has an innate capacity to heal when given the right support — delivered with discernment rather than from templates.

In years of clinical practice, Dr. Shustina has seen that many chronic digestive conditions are shaped not only by physical imbalances but by unresolved stress, trauma, and spiritual misalignment. When those deeper contributors are addressed, healing becomes durable.

Our care emphasizes the mind–gut connection and integrates energy-based techniques with carefully individualized nutrition and supplement strategies — refined over time as healing progresses, rather than handed off as a fixed protocol.

If this resonates with you, schedule a consultation and begin a more intentional, individualized path.

Consultations & Care Model

One-on-one, root-cause care.

Each consultation includes a detailed review of your medical history, prior testing, and records — so the plan is built around your specific physiology, not a default template.

Standard Consultation
90 minutes

For most patients seeking an in-depth evaluation and a personalized gut-health strategy.

Comprehensive Consultation
105 minutes

An extended visit for complex medical histories, chronic conditions, or extensive records requiring deeper review.

Recommendations may include nutrition and dietary guidance, targeted supplements, advanced diagnostic testing, lifestyle optimization, and mind-body interventions. Consultations may also include second opinions on medical diagnoses, treatments, or procedures.

Consultations are offered both in person and via telehealth — with the same clinical depth, time, and personalized attention in each format.

Insurance & Payment

An out-of-network practice by design.

Dr. Shustina is an out-of-network provider and does not participate with commercial insurance plans, Medicaid, or Medicare. Payment is required at the time of scheduling.

This model preserves the time, depth, and individualization that root-cause care requires.
