One of the first things I teach my clients is that food is so much more than calories.

It’s information. 🧠

Every meal you eat sends a message to your body: heal, repair, or inflame. ✨

When you give your body the right information:

🥑 Nutrients
🥩 Minerals
🍱 Properly balanced meals

It knows exactly what to do.

👉Heal the gut lining.

👉Reduce inflammation.

👉Restore energy.

That’s why in my Gut Restoration Program, we don’t just talk about food.

We build a plan to give your body the information it needs to thrive.

Imagine feeling energized after meals, not bloated or tired.

That’s the power of using food therapeutically.

Not too long ago, I took a bite of lemon sorbet...

And I didn’t want any more.

A few years ago, that would’ve been unthinkable.

I craved sugar constantly.

I thought I just needed more discipline.

But it wasn’t about willpower.

It was about imbalance.

🧠 Blood sugar issues�
🦠 Candida overgrowth�
🥀 Nutrient deficiencies

All of these can drive intense sugar cravings.

Once I healed my gut and regulated my blood sugar, everything changed.

Now I see the same transformation in my clients.

A client recently said she felt like she “kicked he**in" after working with me.

You can feel free around food.

Around sugar and cheese and bread...

You can enjoy dessert without it running the show.

And it starts with getting to the root cause.

My 6-Month Gut Restoration Program is where we do that work.

Frequent infections in:
Sinuses
Ears
Lungs
Skin
Bladder
Kidneys
Urinary tract

Are signs of an unbalanced gut microbiome also known as dysbiosis.

Taking an antibiotic because you have an ear infection may resolve the infection in the short term.

But it won’t keep it from happening again.

Using a steroid inhaler because your cold turned into bronchitis or pneumonia will help you today.

But it won’t keep it from happening again next time you catch a cold.

If you have recurring yeast infections taking a course of anti fungal meds from your doctor each time might work for a while.

These are all bandaid approaches to treat the symptoms of a larger issue.

Your infections are going to keep coming back unless you get to the root cause of them.

The root cause of recurrent infections is often dysbiosis.

An imbalance in your gut flora.

We can think about the gut and its inhabitants as a beautiful garden.

This garden has a variety of colorful flowers.

But like all gardens it is also at risk of growing weeds.

The healthy bacteria that we need in our gut microbiome are the flowers.

The unhealthy organisms that can create major issues for us are the weeds.

When your garden is left unchecked the weeds can take over and smother the nice flowers.

If you are someone who struggles with frequent or recurrent infections (anywhere in your body), your garden is likely being taken over by weeds.

The good news is I am a master gardener and I LOVE flowers.

Let's pull out the shovel and gloves and clean up the weeds so your flowers can show their beauty.

Work with me for the next 6 months.

I will run a GI MAP stool test to get a clear understanding of what flowers you’re missing and what weeds have gotten out of hand.

Then, I’ll customize a plan for you to follow to bring your gut garden back into balance.

The end result of this is no more recurring or chronic infections.

No more steroid inhalers or antibiotic treatments for weeks on end.

Not only will you avoid these frequent infections, but you’ll feel great.

Clear headed, energized, clear skin.

Let’s clean up your gut garden together.
