Dr. Emily Ward

Dr. Emily Ward, MD, is a board‑certified gastroenterologist who pairs conventional expertise with integrative, lifestyle‑based medicine to support gut health.

After completing a gastroenterology fellowship at the University of Colorado, she spent nearly a decade in private practice, guiding thousands of patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome through curated evaluations for personalized, effective care.

Today, Dr. Ward leads GutsyRx, an integrative telehealth company she founded to elevate women’s gut and rectal health. Anchored in her signature M.O.M. framework — Metabolic momentum, Optimized gut integrity, and Microbiome balance — GutsyRx tackles the real‑world conditions often dismissed in traditional settings, including IBS and chronic bloating, hemorrhoids and other rectal disorders, peripartum digestive issues, GLP-1 support, and micronutrient deficiencies.

While GutsyRx focuses on women's unique needs, Dr. Ward welcomes anyone interested in an integrative gastroenterology approach to heal and thrive. Her advocacy for gut‑directed hypnotherapy reflects her conviction that the brain‑gut axis is central to gut wellness and that mind–body tools belong alongside nutrition, microbiome support, and targeted therapeutics in modern gastroenterology care.
