I’ll never forget the day my Gastro-Enterologist looked and me and said, “There’s nothing structurally wrong with you…”
Being dismissed like this infuriated me – why would I invent the horrific IBS, anxiety and messed up hormones that were destroying my work, my relationships, and my social life?
Turns out I didn’t invent it… there was a real reason underlying all of it and I’m going to share it with you, so you can resolve your IBS and Anxiety quicker than I did. My intention for you is to understand that if you’ve got symptoms but get told all your test results came back normal, you’ve got to find another healthcare provider, who’s willing to help you get to the bottom of your symptoms, and uncover the root cause!
Most likely up until now, you’ve been working with a traditional healthcare provider, or even a specialist, who consistently runs blood work but can never find anything suspicious, or if they do find something borderline, they’ll advise you to just “watch” certain biomarkers, and come back in 6 months or a year.
While blood test results can provide a wealth of information, the key is to assess your results based on “Functional” ranges and not “Clinical ranges”.
The main reason for this is that clinical ranges are very broad, determined by averaging sick people’s scores. Do you really want to be compared to a sick population and then be told you’re “well” just because your results say “normal”?
Don’t settle for “Everything looks normal”, particularly if you have symptoms like:
- Anxiety
- Bloating
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Irritability
- Joint pains
- Mood swings
- Night sweats
- Reflux
- Poor sleep
- Difficulty losing weight
With Functional Medicine, biomarkers are assessed so that they can be managed before they fall within clinical range. That’s because, according to Stanford University, 95% of all illness is stress-related, and the CDC confirms that 95% of all illness is lifestyle-related – that’s right, it’s not genetics!
Genes may load the gun, but your environment pulls the trigger!
That means YOU have the power to influence your health outcomes rather than resign yourself to, “It’s old age” or “It runs in my family.”
If you can live your way into being unwell, you CAN live your way back to optimal health, through Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress Management and Selective Supplements (D.R.E.S.S.).
Hippocrates said, “All disease begins in the gut” and we now have good evidence to show that up to 90% of the immune system is located there!

As 57% of our gut microbiome is actually more microorganism DNA than human, the gut health test helps us understand the balance of bugs in your digestive tract. These impact your:
- Digestion
- Energy
- Hormones
- Mood
- Metabolism
- Sleep
- Skin
- Weight
💩
Yes, those trillion microorganisms residing inside your gut are connected to so many seemingly unrelated things.
💩
Gut dysbiosis (or imbalance) comes in 3 main patterns:
- Insufficiency
- Inflammatory
- Digestive Dysfunction
💩
You can have any one of these or a combination of all 3.
💩
Insufficiency dysbiosis is when you don’t have enough “good guys”
💩
Inflammatory dysbiosis is when you have an overgrowth of “bad guys”
💩
Digestive dysfunction dysbiosis is when you aren’t breaking down your food and it just sits there undigested and fermenting, leading to bloating, reflux, and gas, constipation or diarrhea.
This is often due to a lack of digestive enzymes, but is often mistaken for too much stomach acid, leading most gastro-enterologists to erroneously prescribe proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole or Lansoprazole.
I know this because this is what happened to me! After almost a decade of various tests, probes, and scans with different doctors and gastro-enterologists, they’d all concluded there was nothing wrong with me, and it must be in my head so they referred me to a Psychiatrist, because to them, my not being able to get out of bed had to be depression.
I kept searching for answers and that is how I discovered Functional Medicine, and worked with a Functional Medicine practitioner who ran a specific gut health test, called the GI Map, which literally changed my life for the better!
It’s now the starting point for working with my clients, even if they’re showing up with mental health or hormonal problems, and it forms the foundation of the Heal Your Gut 90-day program.

How it works
- Book an initial consultation, where we review a brief health assessment that you complete online (emailed to you via the Client Portal, after you book the session) and we confirm that the Heal Your Gut program is right for you.
- The GI Map, Mucosal Barrier Assessment, Stress & Hormones Panel, Metabolic Wellness Panel, and Food Sensitivity Kits are sent to your home, so we can discover what is biologically driving your symptoms. Collect your samples and return via Courier.
- You complete a detailed medical history using an online intake form in our convenient portal and app Healthie.
- Your 90 minute online Lab Review takes place a couple weeks later.
- You track your food, mood, sleep and exercise via the Healthie Inc app 72 hours before the Lab Review.
- In the Lab Review, they interpret your results, aligned with the information on the intake form and the food you’ve been tracking, then prescribe you a detailed, personalized Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress Management and Selective Supplements plan .
- To successfully implement the plan, I coach you for 6 sessions within 12 weeks – during which time, you can expect to feel happier, sharper, more balanced and full of energy.
- At the 90-day mark, we’ll review your progress where you are with your Metabolic Chaos Scorecard, and if necessary, make recommendations for further labs – after all you can’t manage what you don’t measure 🙂.
Ask yourself 3 questions:
- What is your health and vitality worth to you?
- How long can you continue being stuck in the cycle of trial and error?
- Can you really afford to not make a change?
You CAN get your energy back so you can live a happy, vibrant, and fulfilled life. To get started, book your virtual clarity consultation here. And let’s get to the bottom of how you’re feeling, so that you can get on the road to radiant health and happiness.
