Self-Paced Classes

Gut Love: Herbs & Somatics for Digestive Ease

This class will be especially useful if you find any of these to be familiar:
  • You have an upset stomach regardless of what you ate
  • High stress makes your digestive symptoms worse
  • Frequent bloating
  • Low appetite
  • Poops are all over the map
  • You’ve been diagnosed with IBS but weren’t given much support from your medical care team
  • You’ve tried some different diets but none seemed to help (low FODMAPs, elimination diets…)
  • You have a limited diet because you know some food causes painful or unpleasant symptoms
  • You might have nausea, loose stools, brain fog, fatigue, or constipation after eating
  • Your digestive system got out of whack after a course of antibiotics or an infection

The class should help you understand what might be going on physiologically and offer some simple changes to help improve your symptoms. While making dietary changes can be an important part of supporting digestion, this class mostly covers non-dietary changes - like setting a timer and eating food on a regular schedule for a few weeks, chewing on fennel seeds for bloating, supporting the nervous system aspect that influences digestive problems. 

What's Included
  • 5 video lessons, about 3 hours total, covering the Gut Brain Axis, Intestinal Permeability aka Leaky Gut, and Circadian Rhythms.
  • Handouts on physiology, herbal actions that support digestion, supporting your gut lining, and more
