Digestive Wellness Support in Castle Rock, CO
A Personalized Approach to Digestive Health
Digestive concerns can affect everyday comfort, eating habits and overall quality of life. At Infinite Wellness in Castle Rock, Colorado, we take an individualized approach to supporting digestive wellness while considering nutrition, lifestyle and other factors that may be relevant to each person.
People may experience digestive concerns such as bloating, occasional indigestion, changes in bowel habits, food-related discomfort or other gastrointestinal symptoms. Others may already be working with a medical provider for a diagnosed digestive condition and are interested in complementary wellness support.
Because digestive symptoms can have many different causes, we don’t assume that every patient requires the same approach. Your health history, symptoms, diet and wellness goals all provide important context.
Infinite Wellness welcomes patients from Castle Rock, Parker, Lone Tree, Elizabeth and surrounding Colorado communities.
Understanding Digestive Health
The digestive system is responsible for breaking down food, absorbing nutrients and eliminating waste. When digestive function is disrupted, people may notice changes in comfort, appetite or bowel habits.
Digestive symptoms can be influenced by many factors, including diet, stress, medications, lifestyle and underlying gastrointestinal conditions.
Rather than assuming one particular cause, it’s important to consider the individual’s overall situation.
Persistent, severe or unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms should be appropriately evaluated by a qualified medical professional. Complementary wellness services can then be considered alongside appropriate medical care when relevant.
Common Digestive Concerns
People seek support for many different digestive concerns.
These may include:
- Bloating and abdominal discomfort
- Indigestion
- Acid reflux and heartburn
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Changes in bowel habits
- Food-related digestive discomfort
- General digestive wellness concerns
Some individuals visiting Infinite Wellness may also have physician-diagnosed conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease, diverticular disease or other gastrointestinal disorders.
A diagnosed digestive condition should continue to be managed with the appropriate healthcare provider. Complementary services should not replace necessary medical treatment.
Nutrition and Digestive Wellness
Diet is an important consideration when discussing digestive health, but there isn’t one universal eating plan for every digestive concern.
At Infinite Wellness, we can look at current eating habits, food choices and nutritional goals as part of the broader wellness picture.
Rather than automatically eliminating large groups of foods, dietary changes should be thoughtful and individualized.
Patients interested in broader dietary guidance can learn more about our nutrition services. Those who are interested in exploring possible food-related patterns can also learn about our food sensitivity testing services.
Looking Beyond Individual Symptoms
Digestive symptoms don’t always tell you exactly why they’re occurring.
Two people experiencing similar discomfort may have very different health histories, diets, lifestyles and underlying causes.
That’s why Infinite Wellness emphasizes an individualized approach rather than assuming that a particular symptom automatically points to a specific problem.
During your visit, we can discuss factors such as your current eating habits, symptom patterns, lifestyle and overall wellness goals.
If your symptoms indicate that medical evaluation may be appropriate, conventional diagnostic care should be pursued rather than relying solely on complementary wellness services.
Complementary Approaches to Digestive Wellness
Depending on the individual, digestive wellness may involve more than dietary changes alone.
Infinite Wellness offers several complementary services that may be discussed based on a person’s individual concerns and goals.
These include acupuncture, Chinese herbology, nutritional guidance, applied kinesiology and other wellness services.
Not every patient needs every service. Recommendations should be individualized based on the person’s circumstances rather than following the same protocol for every digestive concern.
Food, Lifestyle and Digestive Comfort
Digestive wellness can involve multiple aspects of everyday life.
Eating patterns, food choices, hydration, activity, stress and other lifestyle factors may all be worth discussing depending on the individual.
Keeping track of when symptoms occur can sometimes provide useful information to discuss with your healthcare providers. For example, noting meals, digestive symptoms and other relevant circumstances may help identify patterns worth investigating.
The goal isn’t to assume that every symptom is caused by food or lifestyle. Instead, this information can provide additional context when determining appropriate next steps.
An Individualized Digestive Wellness Plan
There is no single digestive wellness program that is appropriate for everyone.
Someone interested primarily in nutritional guidance may require a very different approach from someone already receiving medical care for a diagnosed gastrointestinal condition.
At Infinite Wellness, your health history, concerns and goals help guide conversations about the complementary services available through the practice.
New patients can complete their intake paperwork before their first appointment so that relevant health and wellness information is available for review.

“Before coming to Infinite Wellness I had no experience with Traditional Chinese Medicine and holistic treatments. I was very skeptical that Infinite Wellness could offer real solutions to my long-standing and debilitating gut problems. However, I had had a great deal of experience looking into the puzzled and skeptical faces of MDs who saw no connections between the various symptoms I described to them. Specialist after specialist prescribed drugs to treat parts of the problem—drugs for painful gut spasms, drugs for allergy symptoms, drugs for skin rashes, anti-depressants for mood swings, drugs for nausea and hyper-acidity, tranquilizers for stress… The list was unending, and so was the illness. My energy and productivity plummeted. I teach and write books for a living, but I had not written a word in over a year. By the summer of 2010 I knew I was very ill.
I came to Infinite Wellness looking for acupuncture—admittedly grasping for straws with little understanding of the mechanisms behind the treatment. In our first meeting Sabrina Maiden made clear that what I needed was an integrated treatment that placed diet modification, lifestyle changes, homeopathic remedies, and just as importantly, a new understanding of the systemic interactions between mind, gut, and body, at the center of the enterprise. To my astonishment she not only understood my symptoms, she anticipated them and explained their interconnections to me. It was the first time in over five years of dealing with my disease that I found myself speaking to a health care practitioner who understood the entire package of afflictions besieging my body. In one session a world was revealed in which the causal connections between afflictions of the gut, the immune system, and the brain were visible and accessible. I finally understood why, how, and in what interconnected ways I was ill. I also saw the keys to unlocking the doors to restored health.
In the last six months I have seen my strength return, my mental focus sharpened, and my appetite back to normal. I can exercise again, and I eat without the old debilitating inflammations and exhaustions. My work productivity has returned. I have learned that the cure to my problem comes not in a hasty handful of prescriptions, but in a patient, integrated, and learned strategy of treatment that works with the body as it heals itself naturally. It has been an empowering experience, and the start of a life-long education about the interconnections between body, mind, and health.”
“Sabrina has helped me in so many ways, it’s hard to summarize them in a few paragraphs. Due to a head injury 30+ years ago, I’ve had severe ear and neck pain everyday for years. Nothing helped the pain. Numerous trips to specialists who told me there was nothing wrong was very discouraging. A friend recommended Sabrina. After my first acupuncture treatment, the pain was gone. This was the first time in 30+ years I didn’t have the severe pain I lived with every day.”
“Sabrina does so much more than just acupuncture. I have acid reflux and was taking Prevacid. She prepared herbs customized for my needs. After a few months of herbs, I was able to wean myself off the Prevacid and today continue to control my acid reflux with her special blend of herbs. She also helps control my hot flashes and other systemic problems I have.”
“In March, I had a viral infection in my intestines. I was still weak after 6 weeks. I’d never been this sick before and was wondering if I was ever going to feel well again. I’d recently found out I had pleurisy as well. Sabrina did some Bio-testing and found that I had a viral infection in my lungs. She prescribed homeopathic medicines to help me. After a few days, I felt much better than I had in the last 6 weeks. I continue to stay well with all the different alternative healing Sabrina provides.”
“I went on a week-long camping trip and after returning home I began to have uncontrollably bad diarrhea and cramping. It was difficult for me to go anywhere that I could not reach a bathroom immediately when I needed to. I found myself unable to hike, bike, or even have a normal work day. I saw my regular physician who sent me to a specialist. After finding nothing my doctors tried 3 or 4 different medications to try and get this under control. Nothing worked. Since they were not able to diagnose the problem and the medications did not work, they suggested an invasive surgery as some sort of “shot in the dark.” A friend of mine in Colorado that had similar problems and had gotten help asked me to call Sabrina. I flew in to see my friend and visit Sabrina and I left Colorado with a full bag of things to take and a few lifestyle changes. Within 2 weeks my diarrhea had stopped and within 5 weeks I could actually begin hiking and biking again. I don’t know what would have happened if I had not been treated by Sabrina and had continued on with surgery and drugs. Sabrina has the ability to pinpoint and treat things that cannot be tested by normal means of medicine.”
“My name is Doug and I am 45 years old. After going to many doctors for my heartburn and taking many different medications, I became frustrated with Western Medicine. Then I met Sabrina and she put me on a gentle but very effective natural medicine. After feeling better for the first time in years, I tried other suggestions she had, and now I feel the healthiest I’ve ever felt. Thank you Sabrina!!!”
