My signature gut health approach!

Gut health is something I am passionate about because I have spent nearly half my life dealing with GI symptoms, trying all the doctors, doing all the tests, popping all the pills and restricting all the foods only to wind up right back where I started. Sick. Unhealthy. In pain.

It’s taken me a lifetime to realize that what my gut, what my body really needed, wasn’t more restriction, but more inclusion.

Its why, in Revived GI I focus on identifying root causes of GI dysfunction instead of simply attempting to cover up symptoms. Throughout this program, I will share with you the nutrition principles, natural therapies, and lifestyle practices that helped me finally leave a life of chronic GI pain behind. You will learn how to heal your gut and alleviate symptoms by addressing the root causes, nourish your microbiome, and discover the foods that move you from “surviving” to THRIVING.

Revived GI is the result of both my professional education and my own personal experience. The result is a proven pathway to health built on three foundations:

​

1) What's in your gut?

Your microbiome refers to the trillions of microorganisms living in your intestinal tract. These microorganisms play a crucial role in all areas of your health. Through a detailed nutrition and health history and accompanying functional lab work, we’ll gain a thorough understanding of any current imbalances. These imbalances (not enough good bacteria, too much bad bacteria, parasites, infections, etc) can result from a variety of diet and lifestyle factors and can often explain why you may have unpleasant GI symptoms (gas, bloating, constipation, indigestion, reflux) or struggle to tolerate so many foods. Using a holistic approach, we’ll help revive your digestive fire and restore your microbiome.

​

2) What's on your plate?

There’s no one size fits all approach when it comes to nutrition for gut health. Nutrition is the single most powerful tool you have when it comes to achieving a healthy gut, but often - out of food fear- clients resort to undereating, skipping meals or eliminating too many foods which can WORSEN gut issues. During our time together, I will walk you through a proven framework to develop a plan that honors your unique body, preferences, lifestyle and goals, while ensuring you have all the nutrients you need to support a vibrant life. I will help empower you to step away from food fear, and step into your own definition of food freedom.

3) What's in your mind?

Mindfulness is an essential, yet often overlooked component of achieving and maintaining optimal gut health. I’ll teach you how to integrate effective lifestyle practices that reduce stress and improve digestive function to strengthen the gut-brain connection. As you master these techniques, you’ll start to notice the close link between your thoughts, stress perception, and emotions and how they impact your digestive function. Over time, you’ll become an expert at listening to and understanding the innate wisdom of your body, allowing you to rely on internal vs external cues to nourish yourself.
