I paid thousands of dollars for a “gut health” coach that didn’t work.

This is your worst fear, right? 

You spend your hard-earned money and get your hopes up that a coach will help you, only to end up exactly where you started. Ugh.

So what happened?

Firstly, she made me cut out all my favorite foods.

I was on a very strict, bland meal plan and hated every minute of it.

I thought, “This seems really unsustainable but I’ll give it a go.” 

Secondly, she had me spending hundreds of dollars on every supplement in the book.

I was taking handfuls of pills every couple of hours like it was my job.

And this all would’ve been fine IF it worked- but it didn’t.

Now that I’m a health coach myself, I understand why it didn’t work.

My coach was focused on the surface-level problems- alleviating my symptoms.

She didn’t dig deeper into the CAUSE of my symptoms.

This is a common practice I’ve seen in the health coaching and medical community. 

No matter how clean my diet was or how many supplements were on, the thing that got me sick was still present and I wouldn’t feel better until I addressed that.

6 months and thousands more dollars later. 😔

Don’t make the same mistakes I did.

If it seems like your gut health coach isn’t getting to the root of your problem, they’re probably not.

Be your own advocate.

Stay tuned for the next Gut Health Series email where I’ll tell you exactly what I did to cure my chronic bloating and constipation.
