About the gastronomy project
The Gastronomy Project was founded with a simple mission: to help you enjoy food, drinks, and everyday life with more confidence—without your gut calling the shots. We offer provider-guided, doctor-led options designed to support everyday digestive comfort, combining evidence-based medicine with thoughtfully selected supportive natural ingredients. When clinically appropriate, licensed providers may prescribe customized compounded formulas that include FDA-approved prescription ingredients alongside supportive hollistic ingredients chosen to complement your plan. We believe gut support should feel straightforward, responsible, and personalized. You don’t have to choose between prescription-based care and a wellness-minded approach. Our providers may incorporate both, when appropriate, into a personalized plan.
We combine evidence-based medicine with thoughtfully selected supportive ingredients to help support everyday digestive comfort.
Founded by Dr. Ryan Natale, an emergency physician who personally struggled with GI issues, The Gastronomy Project is rooted in both expertise and empathy.
By offering provider-guided compounded care options through telehealth, we’re making gut support more accessible and personalized.

About our founder
Dr. Ryan Natale, MD, MHA, created The Gastronomy Project after years of caring for patients and personally navigating the challenges of digestive concerns. As a board-certified emergency physician with more than a decade of clinical experience, he saw firsthand how many people struggled to find an approach that felt both evidence-based and practical for everyday life.
Motivated by his own struggles with reflux and gut health, Dr. Natale set out to build a more personalized option: provider-guided compounded care that may combine FDA-approved prescription ingredients with supportive ingredients in a customized formula, when clinically appropriate. His goal is simple—make gut support easier to access, more straightforward, and tailored to each person.
