When Conventional Treatments Haven't Been Enough
You've seen the doctors. Tried the medications. Followed the protocols. Yet here you are, still searching for answers. You're not alone — and there may be a reason nothing has worked.
Treating Symptoms, Not the Root Cause
Most conventional treatments manage symptoms without addressing the underlying issue — an imbalanced gut microbiome that drives many chronic conditions.
The Gut-Body Connection
Science increasingly shows that gut microbiome disruption is linked to a wide range of conditions — affecting digestive, immune, neurological, and metabolic health.
The FMT Solution
FMT restores a healthy, diverse microbiome using carefully screened donor material — addressing many conditions at their root rather than masking them.

FMT for Oakland Patients
East Bay patients in Oakland often arrive after working with the integrative medicine community in Berkeley or with UCSF specialists across the bay. FMT becomes the next step when conventional GI workups have not identified a structural cause and microbiome restoration is the remaining consideration.

How does FMT work for Oakland patients who can't travel to Santa Barbara?
Oakland patients access our FMT program entirely remotely. The process: a virtual consultation with Dr. Birch to review your history and confirm appropriate candidacy, ordering of any needed labs, and then shipment of screened FMT capsules directly to your Oakland address with a personalized protocol. Follow-up is also virtual. This eliminates the 6+ hour drive while providing the same clinical oversight as in-person care.
Other FMT Options Near Oakland
UCSF (across the bay) and Stanford (south) offer hospital-based FMT for select indications. Purety Clinic offers a fully virtual + capsule-shipped option for Bay Area patients.
