Domenic is a fantastic naturopath - I have been seeing him for over 10 years. He has always been able to solve and treat my systemic health issues when mainstream doctors have not. Issues have included a lack of immune system, inflammatory skin rashes and reactions, and more recently weight gain caused by hormone imbalance and oestrogen dominance. He is thorough and knowledgeable and treats his patients holistically. I whole-heartedly believe in Domenic's skills as a naturopathic practitioner & will continue to see him as an essential element of my health and wellness journey. :)

Since seeing Domenic for issues with my anxiety and just feeling exhausted. I have never felt better, since following the plan Domenic has given me I am full of energy and my anxiety levels are low and another great bonus is that I am losing weight. definitely recommend Dominic for your health and natural medicine

Such a knowledgeable practitioner. I've been suffering IBS for over 5 years, been to so many doctors with no outcome. Dominic worked out what was wrong and formulated a personalised program and already feeling so much better. Thank you so much!

For many years I suffered with IBS symptoms including bloating, eczema, inflammation, anxiety etc....I saw many Naturopaths who would provide temporary relief. Domenic was the only one who could actually provide me with an ongoing solution to manage my symptoms. This was done through testing and treatment. Currently I have regular check ups with Domenic for ongoing maintenance of my IBS symptoms.

After suffering with hives on and off for nearly 15 years and seeing lots of doctors, specialists and natropaths in NSW and VIC with no results, Domenic got straight to the problem, sending me for the right tests. Once we knew what whas going on, he helped get my body back on track within a month - and I have not had any hives since. This was amazing for me as I was previously taking very strong drugs to try and keep the hives under control, but they weren't working. I was also worried about the side effects of these drugs after taking them for so long. Now as a busy mum of two under two, I see Domenic occasionally and he helps me with the right supplements so I can keep up with the demands of hectic mum life. After dealing with so many other specialists and natropaths, I can see Domenic really knows his stuff and I highly recommend him!

Domenic Pisanelli is extremely knowledgeable, very thorough and genuinely cares about his clients. As a six month client of Vital Health Solutions, I highly recommend Domenic. In this time my health has improved immensely. Domenic has taken the necessary time to fully understand my health issues, how they make me feel and the impact on my life. He is conscious of striking a balance between alleviating the symptoms and finding the root cause in order to improve my health in the long term. I am glad to have found Domenic and extremely grateful for his kindness and the help he has given to me.

I have been going to Dom for over 10 years. I consider him to be the best health professional I know. He has helped me overcome many health issues incl blood pressure, digestion, and bronchitis. Since going to Dom I have not had to take antibiotics at all. I would highly recommend him as his manner is so warm and welcoming. I now travel from Ormond if I need to see him and the trip is always worth it. Mary

I have been seeing Naturopath Domenic for more than 10 years. He is very caring and thorough in his approach. I have seen him for various reasons over the years and I have always had great results and his guidance and support has helped me to feel well again. He has always offered different options of care and some of the latest testing available to ensure the best outcome for me. Domenic is always available and if I have been travelling I am able to have a phone/Skype consult with him as well which has helped immensely. I would highly recommend Domenic.

What is the digestive system?

The digestive system is a group of organs that are responsible for converting food in nutrients and energy that can be absorbed by the body for everyday functioning. The digestive system breaks down ingested food and liquids into their essential forms – carbohydrates, fats, proteins and vitamins. These nutrients are then carried to different cells in the body through the bloodstream. The nutrients are responsible for the core functioning of your body including cell repair and growth, adequate hormones secretions and muscle strengthening. These nutrients are also important to maintain organs in good health.

The digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract (also known as the GI tract or digestive tract), the liver, the pancreas, and the gallbladder. The healthy bacteria (also known as gut microbes) present in the gastrointestinal tract help with digestion of food.

Gut microbes refers to microorganisms that live in the intestines (both large and small). A healthy person has about 300 to 500 different species of gut microbes living in their intestines. A cluster of gut microbes functions like an organ to support your overall health.

What are digestive system problems?

Digestive system problems occur when the group of organs responsible for breaking down food and liquids to absorbable forms are unable to function, leaving the body to work on limited available nutrients which eventually results in weakness, gastric problems, digestive system diseases and even cancers.

Why Digestive Health Is Important?

It all comes down to the gut feeling

In a digestive system, the gut is responsible for breaking down food to extract nutrients and carbohydrates for the body to absorb. A healthy gut has a population of good bacteria and immune cells that work together to prevent infection causing agents like bacteria, fungi and viruses from attacking the gut. The healthy gut also actively communicates with the brain through nerve and hormone channels to establish general health well-being.

An unhealthy gut will fail at properly breaking down nutrients and carbohydrates into absorbable form leading to digestive health problems. Lack of nutrients supply will cause body weakness, it will also strain organs and make them vulnerable to bacterial, fungal and virus attacks like various autoimmune diseases, endocrine disorders, skin conditions, and even forms of cancer, type 2 diabetes and immune diseases and take your mental health for a toss.
