Heal From the Inside Out
& Transform Your Life

With Your Own Board-Certified Gastroenterologist

For individuals seeking an expert GI doctor who listens deeply, advocates fiercely, and empowers you with knowledge—all from the comfort of home.

I'm Dr. Leybelis, M.D. FACG

Pronounced Ley-bel-ees

AKA Your GI Health Bestie

Hey there—I see you. You’re over being brushed off by doctors who don’t have time to fully tune in, frustrated by endless back-and-forths with insurance, or months-long wait times to see yet another specialist.

You want answers, and a doctor who cares about your health as much as you do. But more than anything, you want to feel like yourself again—to have the energy and confidence to thrive.

I’m so happy you found your way here, because I’m not like most doctors.

I refuse to let a broken healthcare system stand in the way of your healing.

Take a deep breath and let this sink in: You deserve to get complete solutions from your doctor and live the life you choose. You are more than a diagnosis. And you are not meant to suffer alone in silence.

I hear you. I see you. I've got you.

You’ve tried it all—diets, supplements, fads. Now you’re wondering, “What can I even eat anymore?!”

Your symptoms run the show. Cancelled plans, fear of public flare-ups—it feels like you have no control over your body. It feels like your body is running the show and dictating a life that is not what you would choose.

Conflicting advice is everywhere. Google rabbit holes, Instagram “gut health gurus”—who do you trust?

You want immediate, high-quality care without mega-long wait times and surprise bills that leave you questioning why you even have insurance.

You need a doctor who actually listens and can provide complete solutions. Someone who gets to the root of the issue for long-term, holistic healing. Your situation is your own and does not fit in a box.

I built my own 4M Framework to address the root causes of your GI challenges whatever they might be. Together, we will nurture 20 ultra-personalized new microhabits over the course of a year that puts you in control of your body and condition.

Medicine

Your health, your plan. Evidence-based, physician-led treatment made for you. No one-size-fits-all approaches—just the right tests, prescriptions, and expert guidance tailored to your body regardless of whether this is a new condition or one you have been wrestling with for some time.

Meals

Food as medicine. Your gut is impacted by what you eat—but you don’t have to live in fear of food. I help you find sustainable nutrition strategies that are delicious, heal, nourish, and work for you and your family.

Mindset

Your thoughts impact your health. Stress, anxiety, and mental health directly affect your gut. Together, we will explore if there are personalized mindset adjustments that can be developed to strengthen your personal situation to unlock joy and healing.

Movement

Move with intention. Your body is made to move to support digestion, revitalize your energy, and naturally reduce stress. Together, we’ll develop a personalized movement routine in a way that elevates every area of your life.

Meet Dr. Leybelis Padilla, M.D. FACG

Leading Board-Certified Gastroenterologist | Lifestyle Medicine Physician | Mom, Wife & Your Health Bestie

For years, I played by the rules of traditional medicine, but deep down I knew something was missing. Patients were being dismissed, being told diet didn’t matter, and that stress had nothing to do with their symptoms. But I knew better.

I built my practice to break the cycle of frustration from a system that prioritizes profit over people. I’m a hell no to impersonal approaches.

For me, medicine isn’t just about treating symptoms. It’s about building the foundation for the life you want to live and the impact you’re here to make. As a wife, a mom of two girls, and someone who loves to travel, move, and challenge myself (Iron Man, anyone?!), I get it—you were made for big things.

Your health is more than a diagnosis. It’s the key to showing up fully for your passions, your dreams, and the people you love.

When you heal your digestive tract, you transform your life

No more guessing. No more being dismissed. No more putting your dreams on hold because your symptoms run the show.

I’m here to show you what real support from a doctor looks like—someone who actually listens and advocates relentlessly.

Are you ready to break free from GI issues, upgrade your health, and build a future of longevity, legacy, and impact?
