Integrative Digestive Health

Our Team

At UCLA Health, we understand the strong connection between the brain and the gut. Our team of expert GI dietitians, GI psychologists, and an integrative digestive health practitioner are research and clinical leaders in the brain-gut centered approach to digestive disorders.

Together, we partner with your gastroenterologist to identify the best approach to improve your digestive health and overall well-being.
