🌿 Gut Health & Digestion

Where Healing Begins—Support Your Second Brain

✍️ My Story: Gut Instincts & the Long Road to Answers

For years, I was told it was just “IBS.” That my bloating, fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, rashes, and mood swings were normal—or in my head. I cycled through elimination diets, probiotics, and over-the-counter gut fixes, chasing a solution but never really finding relief.

Some days I looked five months pregnant after eating. Others, I could barely get out of bed from exhaustion and inflammation. I knew something deeper was going on, but every test came back “normal.”

It wasn’t until I did an at-home food sensitivity test and started researching more functional approaches that the pieces started to click. I pushed for further testing. And eventually, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease—something that had been silently wrecking my gut and immune system for years.

Grief hit first. Then came the deep work of rebuilding.

I eliminated gluten (obviously), but also focused on healing—not just avoiding. I used herbs and tinctures to soothe inflammation, restore my gut lining, and calm my overactive immune system. I incorporated Manuka Gold for mucosal repair, Cacao Cure-All to rebuild microbiome resilience, and 5Strands testing to uncover additional sensitivities that had crept in from a leaky gut.

Gut health isn’t just about what you avoid. It’s about what you restore.

Celiac may have been the diagnosis, but it opened the door to deeper healing—not just physically, but emotionally. Now I help others advocate for their guts, trust their intuition, and find the root cause. Because being gaslit by doctors for symptoms you feel every single day is not okay.

You deserve answers. And your gut deserves healing—not just management.
