CCIM microbiome experience
Explore how testing, digestion, immune activity, the intestinal lining, hormones, and the mind–gut connection come together in a customized repair plan.
The first step
Your first visit gives CCIM the time to understand your history, goals, symptoms, and whole-body picture before determining which testing and next steps fit you.
Schedule your comprehensive consultationRepairing the microbiome
At our clinic, we focus on repairing the microbiome and addressing microbiome damage, which can have a profound impact on our overall health. Microbiome damage often leads to a chain of events that includes inflammation, toxin buildup, adrenal cortisol production, and ultimately, liver toxicity and neuroendocrine dysfunction, resulting in hormone imbalances.
Healing the microbiome offers a multitude of unparalleled advantages. First and foremost, a balanced microbiome bolsters our immune system, acting as our body's first line of defense against pathogens. By nurturing and restoring this intricate balance, we can enhance our resistance to illness and infections, reducing the risk of various diseases.

Phase 02 · Balancing the microbiome
Based on the test results, CCIM develops customized protocols to balance your entire microbiome. Move through all thirteen pathways below; select any pathway to see the connected body systems illuminate without losing the complete plan.
Increase levels of beneficial bacteria with a personalized combination of microbiome-supporting foods and compounds.
Decrease levels of harmful bacteria through targeted antimicrobial support and nutrition.
Address fungal overgrowth as part of the customized microbiome protocol.
Target viral overgrowth within the larger microbiome strategy.
Support protein and fat digestion and malabsorption through the stomach, pancreas, and bile-related pathways.
Support healing of the intestinal lining—often described as leaky gut—while balancing gut bacteria.
Lower inflammation with targeted anti-inflammatory support.
Reduce colon inflammation using GPR109a activators.
Incorporate mindfulness practices to alleviate vagal nerve-induced imbalances.
Bind toxic metabolites and chemicals as part of the broader repair protocol.
Modulate inflammation through individualized nutritional and immune support.
Balance hormones, with particular attention to estrogens and progesterone.
Decrease toxic bacterial metabolite production through food choices built for the individual.
The microcosmos
The gut microbiome, composed of various bacteria including Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Proteobacteria, plays a crucial role in maintaining gut health. It communicates with intestinal cells and immune cells, leading to improved digestion, disease prevention, and suppression of inflammation. Conversely, a diseased gut microbiome has been linked to a range of health conditions including autism, all types of cancer, dementia, heart attacks, strokes, liver and kidney diseases, recurrent infections, mental illness.
In addition to the gut microbiome, CCIM offers customized programs for the sinus, bladder, pelvic, prostate, dental, and oropharyngeal microbiomes. These programs involve specialized diagnostics and tailored treatments to promote optimal health in these specific areas.
