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.

Where do San Diego patients access specialty FMT?
UC San Diego Health and Scripps perform FMT in limited circumstances, primarily for recurrent C. difficile via colonoscopy.

After a telehealth consultation with Dr. Birch, screened FMT capsules ship directly to your San Diego address — eliminating the long drive and providing care that integrates with San Diego's strong functional medicine community.
Other FMT Options Near San Diego
UCSD Health and Scripps offer hospital-based FMT for select indications. Purety Clinic offers virtual + capsule-shipped delivery for broader indications and is widely used by San Diego patients who prefer a non-hospital outpatient pathway.
