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.

With her concierge approach, I finally had quick and easy access to a doctor who actually listens and takes action. No more waiting months for an appointment—when I needed help with my heartburn, she was right there. Thanks to her personalized approach, I was able to get off PPI therapy safely, and for the first time in years, I feel like I’m in control of my health. Worth every penny for the peace of mind and results!

Dr. Leybelis is truly one of a kind! As someone with IBS, navigating the healthcare system can feel overwhelming, but she has been in my corner every step of the way. She doesn’t just hand me a treatment plan—she explains why we’re making each decision, breaking things down in a way that actually makes sense. She takes the time to make the necessary calls, ensuring I get the care I need without the usual back-and-forth frustration. It’s rare to find a doctor who combines deep expertise with such genuine advocacy. If you want a GI specialist who actually listens, empowers you with knowledge, and fights for your health, Dr. Leybelis is the one!

I thoroughly enjoyed using Unlocking GI. I learned lots of new, useful, and evidence-based information regarding gut health and how to help improve my symptoms. I looked forward to the positive actions which offered daily bite-sized tips regarding everything you can think of relating to IBD including meditation and the gut brain connection. I would recommend the app to anyone suffering with IBD. Thank you Dr. Leybelis. Best wishes, Libby.

When I started participating with Unlocking GI, I didn't expect much because I had read a lot about IBD in the past years and I thought I was doing alright by myself. But I was surprised. I learned some new and interesting facts about IBD and things that can impact health. It reassured me that I am on the right way with some other stuff I have been doing which I think is very important when you are alone, fighting Crohn’s disease. The most important thing for me in this past month with Unlocking GI was the constant reminder that I have to take care of myself and take time—to meditate, breathe, or prepare my lunch box.
