Most Recommended Functional Nutrition Experts

I'm a functional nutritionist (MS, FNTP, CGP) specializing in gut health, food sensitivities, and autoimmune conditions, integrating clinical nutrition science with a biblical worldview. I help people address root causes and restore health through practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies rather than symptom management alone. I’m a regular contributor to The Epoch Times, where my essential health guides on conditions such as diverticulitis, Hashimoto’s, celiac disease, peripheral neuropathy, Crohn’s disease, rosacea, restless legs syndrome, and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) have been shared thousands of times by readers. I'm also the author of the international bestselling book God's Prescription: A Faith-Based Plan to Shift Your Mindset and Reclaim Your Natural Health. I work extensively with clients struggling with multiple food sensitivities, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, celiac disease, IBS, IBD, SIBO, diverticulitis, and other inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. My focus includes intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”), the gut microbiome, blood‑sugar balance, and gluten‑free and elimination diets that are realistic for everyday life. I make complex health information understandable and provide clear, actionable natural solutions. I'm available for expert commentary on digestive health, inflammation, autoimmunity, anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle, intestinal permeability (leaky gut), the gut microbiome, gluten-free and dairy-free diet, elimination diets, faith and wellness, and practical, evidence‑informed nutrition strategies for real people and families.

As I discovered the power of nutrition and functional medicine to address my own personal health issues, I became inspired to learn the biochemistry behind it all and share what I've learned with those who suffer from chronic health conditions. My specialties and professional interests include: IBS/IBD, autoimmune disease, hormone nutrition, and food sensitivities and intolerances. I take a functional/integrative approach to nutrition which includes advanced GI and food sensitivity testing methods, nutrition counseling, custom meal plans, and supplement therapy as needed.

Hi, I'm Dr. Jeffrey Mark, M.D., a gastroenterologist and functional medicine expert with over 30 years helping people just like you get back to feeling their best. I've dedicated my life to fixing gut health issues, balancing hormones, and tackling heart and energy problems from the root cause—not just masking symptoms with endless meds. My own story started young: At age 10, a bad infection from travel nearly took my life due to a wrong antibiotic, sparking my passion to help others avoid that pain. Later, in my 40s, I battled fatigue, weight gain, high blood pressure, and brain fog from heavy metals and mold toxicity. Using functional and regenerative medicine, I healed myself and now share those tools with you. I earned my B.S. in Neurophysiology from Northwestern University, my M.D. from the University of Illinois College of Medicine, did my internal medicine residency at Northwestern, and specialized in gastroenterology at Chicago Medical School. I'm also certified in medical acupuncture from UCLA and 5X board-certified in functional medicine, anti-aging and regenerative medicine, gastroenterology, obesity medicine, and internal medicine. This lets me blend the best of traditional care with cutting-edge therapies like peptides, PRP, exosomes, and personalized plans. At The Real Gut Doctor, my focus is you: We create custom diets, supplements, and lifestyle tweaks to restore your vitality, mental sharpness, and joy. Whether it's beating IBS, colitis, or low energy, I've guided countless patients to ditch meds, heal after surgery, and live fuller lives. No extreme diets or guesswork—just real results. If you're tired of feeling off and ready for change, let's chat. Visit therealgutdoctor.com or book a discovery call—I'm here to empower you every step of the way!
