Weekly Gut Check: The Secrets to Drama-Free Digestion 🦠✨
Hey there Reader,
April is IBS Awareness Month—a time when the internet can fill up with generic advice like “eat more fiber” or “just relax.”
If you’re here, you’ve already tried eating “clean,” cutting dairy, avoiding fried food, and saying no to that second glass of wine. You’ve probably Googled symptoms at 2am more times than you can count.
But the truth is—IBS doesn’t just disrupt digestion. It disrupts your life.
And I want to share a story that might sound a little too familiar…
She was waking up at 3am with stomach pain, missing work, and running to the bathroom during get-togethers 😩
After years of bouncing between various GI doctors, trialing prescription meds, and doing her regular colonoscopy and gallbladder tests (all of which came back “normal”), my client came to me feeling totally stuck with no answers. She was tired of the vague advice and growing frustrated by the minute.
She told me:
“I’ve missed work. I’ve been up in the night with diarrhea or nausea. My stomach feels like it turns on me every time I try to eat a normal meal.”
She’d been living in a cycle of discomfort and unpredictability for years.
That changed—fast.
Here's what we did instead 👇
I ran three foundational tests as part of my 3 month program that most traditional care misses:
Food Sensitivity Testing 🍔 We discovered her body was reacting to chemicals like lecithin, dairy, soy, eggs, and yeast—ingredients that sneak into everyday meals (yes, even the “healthy” ones).
Microbiome Analysis 💩 We found a pro-inflammatory pathogen, Fusobacteria, disrupting her gut balance and she was missing out on anti-inflammatory short-chain fatty acid production (the stuff that keeps your gut calm + stable).
Micronutrient Panel 🧪 Her results showed malabsorption of fat-soluble vitamins, low antioxidant status, low amino acids, and high inflammatory fat markers—signs her body wasn’t breaking down or using nutrients efficiently.
After just 2 weeks on her new diet? 🤯
No more nausea waking her up at night
No more pain after meals
No more rushing to the bathroom during social events
And by week 5?
✅ Formed, predictable bowel movements ✅ A regular, calm bathroom routine ✅ Confidence to eat without anxiety
Here’s what she told me:
“After two weeks of following the diet regimen filled with foods that worked well with my body, I was already seeing an improvement.
I can now say that I have had three months with hardly any GI issues and it is absolutely wonderful.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! If you are struggling with GI issues/pain and are ready and committed to making a change to your diet, I highly recommend Sarah!”
This is what happens when you actually get to the root cause.

You'll get real answers, a real strategy and real results.
