Tired Of Going From Doctor To Doctor With No Good Answers On How To Resolve Your Gut Issues?

3/8/2022

 “I am so happy someone referred me to Dawn. I had been navigating from MD to MD trying to figure out how to get treated for something that Dawn understood immediately. She guided me through a plan on diet and supplements that helped my body actually heal from what I literally thought may have been something modern medicine could not handle.”  ~Allen
I can’t believe how many of my clients have been in a similar situation.
 
Visiting doctor after doctor, seeking solutions – and relief – for gut problems like pain, bloating, food reactions and BM irregularities.
 
And often coming up with…not much.
 
Some were given laxatives, or anti-diarrhea or anti-acid medications, meant to be taken for the long haul.
 
Some of my clients were given medications that didn’t really work at all.
 
Some were told to not eat so-called “gassy” foods like broccoli, cauliflower, beans, lentils and more…and to do that forever.
 
Some were told it was all in their heads.
 
Some were outright dismissed.
 
(This doesn’t mean that western docs can’t help, and many of them truly do).
 
But a large number of my clients were told that they’d just have to try to “manage” this forever. Or worse yet, “just live with it.”
 
So they kept avoiding social gatherings, dinners out, walks in nature, long trips in the car, and events they wanted to go to…because they felt unwell and uncomfortable, and didn’t know whether their guts would act up. 
 
They were discouraged. They lost hope.
 
But some little part of them just KNEW that there was another solution. Perhaps even a way that they could fully and naturally RESOLVE their gut issues, instead of attempting to just “manage” or “live with” them.
 
So they kept searching. And eventually they found their way to me.
 
Sometimes after years. Sometimes after decades.
 
It’s such a bummer that people had to suffer that long, but the good news is that once we started working together, most people were naturally able to resolve their gut issues.
 
How did this happen when previously they had been told to “just live with it?
Because my approach is different.
The lens I use in working with people is to HEAL their gut issues, rather than simply “managing” them. It’s a different paradigm.
  • I get to the root causes of your gut issues, by specifically identifying the ways in which your body is out of balance.
  • I do a thorough review of your symptoms, your food intake, and your life influencers to determine why the symptoms are showing up.
  • I run different labs than might have already been run. I read the labs you already have differently.
  • I specifically address the gut-stress cycle, which can keep a lot of people stuck, despite doing “all the things.”
  • I don’t require you to give up all your favorite foods forever.
And you know what? Working together, we can RESOLVE gut issues. Symptoms naturally DISAPPEAR.

It’s wonderful to witness people restoring health, and opening up new possibilities for their lives.
 
No more restrictive diets.
 
No more saying no to things they wanted to do because they were worried their guts would act up.
 
And the energy suck from worrying about their health? Gone.
 
Now, they can really “go for” things they want in life.
 
Like my clients who started businesses.
Or got promotions at work.
Or got engaged.
Or ran that marathon.
Or got pregnant.
Or took that trip they’d always wanted to take. Heck, now they can even take that longer car or public-transit ride they’d previously said no to.
 
They go out to dinner.
They don’t say no to social engagements.
They engage in more activities that bring them joy.
They are more present with their loved ones.
They have so much more freedom.
 
My gut-healing solutions are thorough. And holistic. And they’re also personalized to you. So you can actually heal your gut. And ultimately, go for the things that matter most to you, without worrying about your health getting in the way.
 
Now, I’m not the Gut God or anything. While I do have a lot of experience helping people to heal their digestive issues, my programs also invite you to open up more fully to trusting yourself and your intuition. Ultimately, you are the expert on you, and we work collaboratively as a team. 
 
Helping people to heal their guts -- rather than just settling for poor symptom-management -- is one of the things I do every day with people who have been searching and not finding solutions that work. It’s also the big focus in my Heal Your Gut Naturally program, which begins later this month.
 
If you (or someone you know) is interested in learning more, email me or book a time to chat so we can mutually see if it’s a good fit.
 
In health,
Dawn

P.S. We’re currently enrolling for the Heal Your Gut Naturally program, which begins this month. Get in touch if you’re curious whether it might be a fit for you.

What Our Clients are Saying

"I have struggled with digestive issues for decades. I've been through many different diets and practitioners, and Dawn is the first person to truly listen to me and not try to push a solution that seems like a catch-all for lots of people."

"I was exhausted. I had lost vitality and interest in things that used to bring me joy. My digestion was a mess and constant struggle. Dawn offered warmth, compassion and genuine empathy that is unmatched by anyone. After working with Dawn, I was a new person. My energy had returned, my digestion was back on track and most importantly, I had answers and tangible solutions for the issues that had been burdening me for so long."
