About Dr. Alexandra Shustina

Meet Dr. Shustina

A person with long, light brown hair sits at a table, enjoying a gut-friendly meal, wearing a navy blouse against the backdrop of a calming blue curtain.
Dr. Alexandra Shustina NYC's and Miami's premier Gut Health doctor, is a board-certified gastroenterologist and internist. She has worked in many hospitals in New York City and around the country teaching young physicians, taking care of the critically ill, and performing thousands of endoscopic procedures. She felt discouraged with the limited tools available in the conventional medical model to treat chronic disease leading her to complete further advanced training in functional medicine, visceral manipulation, cranial osteopathy, lymphatic drainage, herbal therapies and energy medicine. Her true passion is using natural therapies tailored to individual needs to create lasting health.

She has a special interest in helping patients who have not previously been able to reach their health goals using natural therapies and holistic modalities with over 10 years of experience treating Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth ( SIBO), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), thyroid disorders and more. She sees many patients for second opinions and has helped many achieve lasting health. Using tools such as visceral manipulation and energy medicine she has been able to help improve organ function, motility, and address the mind-gut connection leading to true gut health and total body health. She is a microbiome expert and is passionate about optimizing mindfulness and total body balance using vibrational medicine, mind-body therapies, and nutrition.

About the practice

We have a chronic illness epidemic in the Western world, with increasing use of medications in adults and children. The “one size fits all” medical system is a bandage approach to health. A personalized “patient-focused” approach is the key to true health from the source and real preventive medicine.

Whole Gut Health combines the best of modern medicine with ancient traditions, natural health, and true prevention to provide patients with the best possible holistic total body care.

Dr. Shustina and the staff at Whole Gut Health take the time to listen to each patient, evaluate each patient’s unique conditions and goals, and develop an effective treatment plan addressing the root cause of the problem. We see patients for in-person consultations and via telehealth.
