Developing strategies to achieve and maintain proper nutrition are key to alleviating many troubling GI symptoms. At South Denver GI, we provide comprehensive nutrition care to patients, including the development of specific diets like low FODMAP for irritable bowel syndrome, gluten-free diets and elimination diets. Our therapies are personalized to your GI condition, food preferences and cultural background.

Weight Loss & NovoLiver
Forty percent of all Americans are overweight. Weight gain increases your risk for a wide range of health conditions, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
NAFLD is a silent epidemic characterized by deposits of excess body fat within the liver (steatosis), inflammation caused by the fat (steatohepatitis) and eventual scar tissue formation (fibrosis). It affects 30-40% of the U.S. population.
Reducing your weight by just 10% can help reverse fatty liver disease. To help improve the health of our patients, South Denver GI is the only GI practice in Denver to offer NovoLiver – a comprehensive, subscription-based program designed to assist you in achieving a healthy lifestyle, spur weight loss and reverse fatty liver.

- Supervised fitness programs and weekly digital behavioral support groups (usually 10 members each) that focus on lifestyle modifications. Access to curated content.
