My Journey to Better Digestive Health

I spent most of my twenties assuming that how I felt was just how I felt.

I was constipated more days than not and had stopped thinking of it as a problem. I'd get shaky by mid-morning and be more or less useless by three.

There was a low anxiety running underneath everything that never seemed to attach to anything in particular, and I was tired in a way that sleeping more didn't fix.

What eventually worked was food, though not the way I expected. I'd already been eating well for years by that point, so it wasn't a matter of cleaning up my diet. The problem was that my gut wasn't in any condition to do much with what I was giving it.

When I finally started there instead, things I'd assumed were permanent turned out not to be.

That's why I ask about digestion first, with everybody, before we get anywhere near the rest of it.

What I do?

I'm a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. Most people come in thinking the question is what to eat, but that's only part of the story.

As a digestive health expert, I look at what your body is doing with what you already eat, and until that part works, changing the menu can only get you so far.

So digestion is where we begin. Where we go after that depends on what we find there and on your specific health goals.

For some people that's a handful of adjustments over a couple of months; for others it's a longer rebuild. Everything is based on your unique situation.

Where GAPS Fits

When someone needs the longer rebuild, I'm certified to coach the GAPS protocol.

Most diets are a list of things to stop eating. You cut something out, wait, and hope. GAPS is closer to the opposite. It's a sequence, developed by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, that takes your digestion down to the simplest thing it can handle and builds back up from there in a deliberate order.

You start with specific, nourishing foods that ask almost nothing of your gut, and from there you add foods back, one at a time, across six stages.

And because you're adding foods back in one at a time, you find out what your body actually does with each one. Most people finish the stages knowing more about their own digestion than years of elimination diets ever told them, because for once the variables were isolated.

Personalized Support Through Every GAPS Stage

Then you move into Full GAPS, which is a much wider way of eating and where most people stay for a while before transitioning off. For most people, It's not a permanent diet. It's a rebuild with an end.

I'll be honest that it asks a lot. You cook nearly everything you eat, and the middle stretch is the part people underestimate. In my experience, the ones who abandon it aren't the ones who got confused about food lists. They're the ones who hit week six on their own, felt something strange, and had no one to tell them whether it meant slow down or keep going.

That's the part I take on. We build the transition plan before you start so you're not improvising. I move you through the stages at the pace that keeps die-off manageable and works around your sensitivities.

You can ask me things between sessions, because that's when most of the questions come up. And when you want to jump a stage before you're ready, I'll tell you, which is worth more than it sounds.

Most people come to me having already spent years trying to figure out their digestive issues. This program is a few months, and most people only need to do it once.
