The road to health is paved with good digestion……and a healthy gut is a healthy you.

If you want to be healthy, and I mean really healthy, not the social media superficial version of “healthy” - you need to make sure your gut health is in tip top shape.

So often I see clients who dismiss their symptoms as “this is just normal for me” or “it’s not that bad, I can live  with it, I just need to stay away from (insert long list of foods here)”. Perhaps you feel like you have already tried a few things to fix your symptoms. Maybe you’ve tried removing gluten and dairy or taking probiotics every day. Maybe some of your symptoms have subsided but really, you're not seeing much of a difference. 

The impact of poor gut health isn’t just isolated to uncomfortable symptoms like bloating and constipation. The health of your gut and microbiota can lead to some serious conditions beyond the digestive system. It's like a ripple effect on your overall health. From hormonal imbalances to skin disorders, and even immune system dysfunction, a well-supported gut plays a crucial role in a healthy you.

Now I’m going to be honest with you. When it comes to restoring your gut health it’s never going to be a quick fix. There is no magic supplement I can give you (sorry). There’s no medication your doctor can give you to restore your gut health. What it comes down to is time, a commitment from you to make the necessary changes and for us to work closely together on a treatment. This is what’s really going to make a difference. 

As a naturopath I focus on creating balance and working with where you are at right now. We are all individuals and this means your health needs are also unique.

Which of these symptoms sound familiar to you?

💩 You feel like you’re always bloated and uncomfortable

💩 You look like you are six months pregnant (and you’re not)

💩 You find yourself always overthinking your food choices,  scared of the consequences you’ll experience post meal

💩 You are always constipated or you regularly have loose stools or you swing between having diarrhoea or constipation - nothing in the middle

💩 You are anxious all the time and often feel overwhelmed

💩 You have been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition like Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

💩 You are always getting sick - if someone around you has a cold you are guaranteed to pick it up

💩 You often feel like you have brain fog and can’t think straight

💩 You crave carbs and sugar all the time

Here is the thing. If you were nodding along as you read through the list I want you to know that experiencing any of these symptoms is simply not good enough for you and you shouldn’t accept this as normal. You deserve to: 

💩 Enjoy your  favourite foods without painful bloating, uncomfortable bowel movements and smelly gas. 

💩 Have regular and comfortable bowel movements where you feel fully eliminated after

💩 Have clear, glowing skin, the kind of skin people stop you on the street to compliment you on. 

💩 Say ta-ta, bye bye, au revoir, adiós to the bloat 

💩 Not be constantly dipping in and out of anxiety and overwhelm

💩 Have more energy 

💩 Sleep better

💩 Release excess weight and feel good in your skin again. 

What it looks like when you work with me on restoring your digestive health:

The Initial Consultation 1:1 naturopathic support

In your initial naturopathic consultation we will spend 90 minutes together, either in person or online, and we will go deep. We will discuss everything about your health, not only the symptoms and concerns that led you to book your appointment, but also the body systems that intertwine with these. You will have a safe space to openly talk about your health, how it is that you’ve come to this point , and everything that’s impacted you up until now. This is a moment for you to tell your story and be listened to compassionately and without judgement. After your initial consultation we will decide if the Gut Love Program is right for you…..You also have the option of jumping right in and signing up for The Works Package which includes everything including your first appointment.

Implementing the SIBO/Gut Health Roadmap Diet

 The SIBO Roadmap is a complete SIBO & IBS diet system to get you feeling great and enjoying all the foods again. Don’t let the name fool you, this diet isn’t just for those with SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), it works beautifully for anyone experiencing uncomfortable digestive symptoms. It can also be used proactively to restore your gut microbiota and optimise your overall health - even if you're not currently experiencing obvious symptoms……because let's face it, in this modern world we live in we could all benefit from this.

Going a little bit deeper

After your initial consultation, it’s likely we will need to do a comprehensive stool test and or a SIBO breath test. These tests are imperative for getting to the bottom (no pun intended) of whats going on with your digestive health. This is why I have included them in the Gut Love Package. You will also be assessed to see if further testing is needed. These are not included in the packages listed but will be discussed on an individual basis.

Follow up 1:1 consultations

In your follow up consultations, we will check in on how you’re going with your current treatment plan, talk about your progress and any challenges you’ve faced, and then make any adjustments to your treatment and prescription as needed. These consults are important to make sure everything is going smoothly and that you continue receiving support on your healing journey. As part of your naturopathic care, I am always doing additional research, ensuring your protocols are up to date with the latest in evidence based data.

You Are What You Eat: The Diet Component of The Program…….

After years of dedicated research and refining various diet protocols, I completed additional studies that now enable me to seamlessly incorporate The SIBO Roadmap into my clinic as the primary dietary tool for effectively restoring gut health.

 The SIBO Roadmap is a complete SIBO & IBS diet system to get you feeling great and enjoying all the foods again. Don’t let the name fool you, this diet isn’t just for those with SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), it works beautifully for anyone experiencing uncomfortable digestive symptoms. It can also be used proactively to restore your gut microbiota and optimise your overall health - even if you're not currently experiencing obvious symptoms……because let's face it, in this modern world we live in we could all benefit from this.

This roadmap provides you with an in-depth dietary guide and accompanying recipes to ensure you know exactly what to do and when, while having an abundance of inspirational meals, snacks and beverages to enjoy – saving you time.

It’s a six-stage formula which was designed by a naturopath and helps to resolve SIBO & IBS symptoms while nourishing – not depriving – your microbiome. 

It is a clear, step-by-step formula that not only helps to treat your digestive issues but goes beyond this to include post- treatment and microbiome restoration using a food as medicine approach. 

Why I have chosen to include this specific diet into my Gut Love Program…….

  • It is less restrictive than all the other gut health diets and allows foods to be reintroduced sooner. Believe me when I tell you how restrictive some protocols can be.

  • It gives specific recommendations on timeframes, as well as food lists and quantities. This removes the drama from the diet component of treatment which really allows us to work together on your treatment plan and navigate things that come up 

  • It provides you with a clear dietary plan which you can follow for not just 1 to 2 months but 6+ months. 

  • It focuses on treating dysbiosis but also on long-term microbiome nourishment.

  • It is easy to follow and the recipe book which aligns with all six stages of the Roadmap, with tons of gut friendly meals, variations and serving ideas.

  • Backed by evidence, this roadmap empowers your gut health journey, so you can enjoy food without fear

A quick note on the Gut Love Program

Please be aware that this is an exclusive practitioner-guided experience. To ensure the effectiveness of the program, a commitment to a minimum of four follow-up sessions is required. The journey to transformative health requires dedication and consistent effort. It's crucial to stay engaged throughout the process, as deviating from the program may hinder the desired positive changes. Your commitment plays a vital role in the success of your health journey, and the follow-up sessions are designed to support you every step of the way. The magic will come when we work together and navigate the complexities of your gut health together. 

Also, there’s no way to get around it. Herbs and supplements are going to be a key part of your treatment. Having said that I do like to keep things as simple as possible when it comes to prescribing. Im not the kind of practitioner who will send you off with $600 worth of supplements with a very complex supplement routine to follow. But if you have a lot of restoring to do and naughty pathogens and bacteria at play you will need to take supplements and herbs. These will be at an additional cost to the program.
