Welcome to the gut health archives

Nearly every day in my practice, I get asked the question: “What should I eat to heal my gut?” And while you will never hear me say the words “paleo”, “bone broth”, “Whole 30”, or “low fibre”, you most certainly will hear me ramble on about all the different plants…

Your transit time is a key indicator of what your motility is like. To put it more directly, your transit time measures the time in which it takes the remnants of your food to move through your digestive and intestinal systems, from ingestion to elimination.

I’ll never forget the day that I realized my partner might never go 100% plant based. I was both confused, frustrated, and worried.

How much money do you spend on supplements? A lot? Maybe too much to admit? Let’s just hope you’re not as bad as I was when I was in the thick of my IBS symptoms. Between 2012-2015, I spent over $500 JUST on probiotics. Just probiotics. Wild. And to think, if I had known the information…

This is what makes my practice really unique—I’ll always take an evidence-based, holistic approach when helping my clients. There’s no fad diets, health trends, or opinion based pseudoscience here. I want my clients to get the best results possible, and that happens when I give them recommendations that are rooted in science and practice.
