What if I told you that...
Healing your gut can change your life.
And that healing your gut can do more than fix the apparent things like bloating, constipation, heartburn, and nausea.
What if I told you that healing your gut can help you:
Wake up feeling like you actually got a good night's sleep- no more dragging yourself out of bed.
Trust your intuition with food - no more food cravings ruling your life!
Feel energized all day - no more 4 pm energy crash!
Have glowing skin and healthy hair and nails
Have more pain-free periods
Feel calm, focused, and happy - say goodbye to brain fog and irritability!
and that...
You don't need a detox or cleanse to heal your gut?
You can still eat delicious food while healing your gut?
You can have sustainable energy all day, with no afternoon crash.
You can overcome intense cravings for sugary foods?
You can stop feeling bloated and gross after every meal!
Food sensitivities are not a root cause, they are a symptom of poor gut health.
You can have better digestion, better sleep, glowing skin, and a happier mood...
Feeling hangry, bloated, anxious, and exhausted is NOT normal...and you don't have to feel this way anymore!
That you can trust your gut and your intuition with food?
Maybe you have been feeling...
Overwhelmed by all the conflicting nutrition advice out there…
Confused about which foods are bad or good for the gut…
Like you can't trust your intuition with food...
Sick of having gut symptoms like bloating, nausea, and heartburn every time you eat…
Like you are relying on caffeine to get through the day…
Tired of hearing, “just eat less and exercise more”...
Like you have a million food sensitivities, nothing you eat makes you feel good…
Tired of always being exhausted...
Like you are just surviving day to day...
Maybe you have tried all of the diets and spent $$$$ on gut supplements but nothing seems to work.
Maybe you are starting to worry that feeling this way is just normal...that this is just life.
LISTEN UP,
these things are NOT NORMAL.

Welcome to Trust Your Gut!
Your holistic, comprehensive guide to true gut health.
Let's take a peek inside the course...
Welcome!
Welcome to Trust Your Gut! In this introduction, you will learn why I created this course, and you will get a preview of what you will be learning.
You will also take a quiz to find your learning style. This will help keep you motivated as you go through the course.
Module 1: Finding Your Food Freedom
In this module you will learn why most diets fail, and why strict diets are not the solution.
We will talk about why intuitive eating isn't so simple, and why all calories are not equal.
Let's say goodbye to diet culture!
Setting Your Foundation with Blood Sugar Balance
Is feeling "hangry" your baseline? Do you have afternoon energy crashes? DO you wake up between 2 & 4 am? This module will change your life.
Module 2 is all about setting your foundation for a healthy gut. Before you begin healing your gut, you have to have balanced blood sugar.
You will learn about the connection between imbalance blood sugar and poor gut health, and I will teach you the 4 rules of blood sugar balance.
Module 3: Nutrient Dense Food 101
Let's learn the basics of nutrient-dense foods! We will cover carbs, protein, fat, water, and fiber.
You will learn why you need each for gut health and bust some common diet culture myths.
Module 4: Eating For Gut Health
In this module we will get into the details of eating for gut health.
You will learn how to build a gut healthy plate, how to diversify your microbiome, how much to eat, and when to eat, and we will highlight simple gut-healing foods.
Module 5: Dial in Your Digestion
In Module 5 you will be learning how your digestive system works.
Then, I will teach you easy ways to optimize your digestion.
Because if you have poor digestion it doesn't matter how well you eat - because if you aren't properly digesting your food you will not absorb those vital nutrients.
We will cover the importance of stomach acid and what to do if you have problems like heartburn. You will learn what your transit time is, and how to support the health of your liver.
Module 6: Listening to Your Body
Learning how to listen to your body is hard - but I will be supporting you along with way.
In this module, you will learn what food sensitivities are, including the difference between food sensitivity and food allergy.
You will learn about leaky gut and how it can be healed.
I will walk you through how to do an elimination-reintroduction protocol for yourself.
Module 7: Beyond Food
By now we have covered the food aspect of gut health.
But there is a lot more to consider for true gut healing.
Nervous system regulation, sleep, and toxin exposure will be covered in this module.
Module 8: Probiotics, Prebiotics, Supplements
This is your guide to gut healing supplements.
You will learn how to choose the best probiotic for your needs & how to get a therapeutic dose of prebiotics through specific foods.
I will also walk you through natural supplements and herbs in your gut-healing medicine cabinet.
Module 9: Thrive With Gut-Healthy Exercise
Exercise is essential for a healthy gut, but some exercise can make gut problems worse! In this module, certified fitness professionals and guest instructors Andrew Jackson & Victoria LaFont will teach you how to do a full-body workout from the comfort of your home.

FAQs
How long will it take me to finish the course?
Trust Your Gut is entirely self paced. You can go as slow or as quickly as you would like. It contains about 6 hours of modules. You could do one module a week or one a day!
How long will I have access to the course?
You get it for life! You will have access to the entire course, plus any future updates I may add.
I have SIBO/H. pylori/ etc., will this course help me?
Trust Your Gut provides food and lifestyle-based methods to support and nourish the gut. It is not intended to treat any disease.
I am not a doctor, and this course is not a substitute for medical or nutrition therapy.
Please reach out if you have questions.
What if I need more individualized support?
This course is educational and not a replacement for medical or nutrition therapy.
When you purchase the course, you will have access to the private Trust Your Gut community, where you can ask me questions and connect with other students.
Will I have to give up carbs/meat/sugar etc.?
NO! The premise of Trust Your Gut is to help nourish your body with nutrient-dense foods, including unrefined carbohydrates and good-quality animal protein.
I'm plant-based/vegan, will this course work for me?
You can apply most of the material to your life but may not get the same results as someone who eats high-quality bioavailable animal protein.
This will depend on you and how well your gut is functioning. Because plant-based protein can be a gut irritant for some people, it can be difficult to meet protein goals.
I focus on animal proteins as the primary protein source and use plant-based proteins for other gut-healing benefits.
