SIGIS Carbondale Participates in Women’s Natural Health Conference at Civic Center

Carbondale, IL

Southern Illinois GI Specialists (SIGIS) proudly took part in the Women’s Natural Health Conference held at the Carbondale Civic Center, an event dedicated to empowering women through holistic and integrative approaches to wellness.

This year’s conference brought together healthcare professionals, wellness advocates, and community members to explore the latest in women’s health—from nutrition and gut health to hormonal balance and preventative care. As a leading provider of gastrointestinal health services in Southern Illinois, SIGIS was honored to contribute expertise on the vital connection between digestive health and overall well-being.

Dr. Zahoor Makhdoom, founder of SIGIS, and his team provided valuable insights into how gastrointestinal disorders can impact women’s health and how proactive screening and natural interventions can lead to better long-term outcomes. Attendees had the opportunity to engage with the SIGIS team, ask questions, and learn about available GI care options tailored specifically for women.

“We are thrilled to be part of a conference that aligns so closely with our mission to deliver compassionate, patient-centered care,” said Dr. Makhdoom. “Women’s health deserves greater focus, and events like this help raise awareness and promote proactive health choices.”
