You've been told your labs are "normal."
But normal labs do not always explain ongoing bloating, irregular bowel habits, or pain you live with every day.
Integrative Functional Gastroenterology
Your labs say normal. Your body says no.
Dr. Vivian Asamoah is a board-certified gastroenterologist and hepatologist with advanced training in Integrative Functional Medicine — trained to look past symptom management and help identify what may be driving your gut issues.

Does this sound familiar?
You're not imagining it, and you're not out of options.
You've tried elimination diets on your own.
Cutting out gluten, dairy, or FODMAPs may have helped a little — but nothing got to the root of it.
You've been offered another prescription.
Medication can help manage symptoms. It does not always answer why this is happening in the first place.
You want a doctor, not just a wellness plan.
You're looking for someone with real GI training who also understands Integrative Functional GI care.
Your free call and what comes after
Start with a free conversation. Your consultation is with Dr. Asamoah herself.
The discovery call is the first step. You will speak with our integrative care team to review your history, goals, and whether this program is the right fit. If it is, your full clinical consultation is with Dr. Asamoah, who personally reviews your case and directs your care plan from there.
No payment information is required to schedule. There is no obligation to move forward after the call.
Discovery call — free
A free 15-minute conversation with our integrative care team to understand your symptoms, history, and goals. No payment required to book.
Clinical consultation with Dr. Asamoah
If it is a good fit, you meet one-on-one with Dr. Asamoah for a full clinical review. She personally oversees every integrative consultation.
Personalized plan
Dr. Asamoah builds your personalized testing and treatment plan. Her team supports you between visits, but the clinical direction of your care comes from her.
The approach
Conventional medicine and root-cause care, in one place.
Root-cause focused
We look for the underlying drivers behind your symptoms, not just ways to manage them.
Targeted testing
Comprehensive stool and gut microbiome testing may be ordered based on what your case actually calls for.
Personalized nutrition

Physician-led, ongoing
Dr. Asamoah oversees your care throughout, with her team supporting you between visits.
Who this is not for
This program is not the right fit for everyone.
Leaky Gut Relief is designed for patients who are ready for a deeper, more personalized process. It is intentionally selective so the right patients receive the right kind of support.
You are looking for a quick fix. This is not a one-pill or one-supplement solution.
You are not open to dietary or lifestyle changes. Nutrition and daily habits are part of the care plan.
You need urgent or emergency care. Severe pain, bleeding, persistent vomiting, or concerning symptoms should be evaluated immediately.
You only want insurance-based care. This program is self-pay and is not billed through insurance.
You are not ready to participate actively. The best results come when patients are engaged in the process.

Real patients
What it's like to work with this team.
The right nutrition changed everything.
I had been on multiple medications for my digestive issues, but nothing seemed to work long-term. A tailored nutrition plan helped me understand how food directly impacts my gut health, and within weeks I noticed a real reduction in my symptoms.
I'm so glad I did this program.
I had constipation, bloating, and gas for so long I thought it was just normal for me. I want to thank Dr. Asamoah and her team for everything they did to help me get better. It was worth it.
So grateful for her thorough approach.
I had been misdiagnosed for years and was frustrated with constant trial-and-error treatment. Dr. Asamoah recommended root-cause testing that finally uncovered food sensitivities and a gut bacteria imbalance other doctors had overlooked.

Frequently asked questions
Questions patients usually ask before booking.
Is this covered by insurance?
No. Leaky Gut Relief is a self-pay Integrative Functional GI care program and is not billed through insurance. If you move forward, we will review pricing clearly before you make a decision.
Is this virtual, or do I need to come to Houston?
The discovery call is virtual or by phone. Depending on your location, symptoms, and clinical needs, the team will help clarify what can be handled virtually and whether an in-person visit is recommended.
What if I already had a colonoscopy or endoscopy recently?
That can still be helpful information. Many patients come to us after normal or recent testing because they still have symptoms. Dr. Asamoah reviews your history and prior results to decide what, if anything, needs to be looked at next.
How is this different from seeing a regular GI doctor?
Traditional GI care is important for diagnosing and treating disease. This program adds an Integrative Functional GI care lens, more time for your full history, targeted testing when appropriate, and nutrition support from Dr. Asamoah's team.
What happens if the discovery call is not a fit?
There is no obligation. If the program is not the right next step, the care team will be honest and point you toward a more appropriate direction when possible.
