Together, we’ll achieve your goals and get your body functioning in its optimal state.
Are you lacking energy or feeling constantly tired?
Do you often feel heavy and bloated, no matter what diet you follow?
Do you equate a healthy diet with only eating bland, boring salads?
Do you feel like it’s getting too expensive to buy healthy foods?
Or that you don’t have the time or headspace to think about healthy living?
Have you been told you need to follow a strict diet or eat ‘cleaner’?
Do you feel your body is not functioning as it should but you’re not sure why?
Are you reading this while nodding your head and saying yes, yes yes? Then The Good Gut Guide is designed specifically for you and will revolutionise your relationship with food.
Consider your gut the engine room of your body. When it’s healthy it can lead to many benefits. Like reducing inflammation and lowering the chance of obesity. But if it’s imbalanced it can be far more challenging to stay healthy.
You see, when the body is fueled correctly, we experience high energy levels, we have mental clarity and don’t suffer from brain fog or mid-afternoon slumps.
In addition, our skin is bright and clear, we feel lighter, and our digestive system is able to work properly without leaving us feeling bloated or gassy.
Quite simply, when your body and your gut are functioning in their optimal state you will feel great. And I believe everyone should have the opportunity to know what this feels like.
A simple 10-day reset can help you connect the dots to uncover how different foods can affect your gut and influence how you feel.
This programme is specifically designed to reset bad habits, replace them with healthier ones, and give you the confidence to begin your journey towards a healthy, sustainable life that you (and your gut!) will love.
Get back into shape. Reduce body fat by removing the build-up of toxins in your body by eliminating foods that are hard to digest, and eating more of the foods your body will love.
Restore your energy levels. We’ll remove the barriers preventing your body from functioning optimally, establish balance, and tap into energy reserves you didn’t realise you had.
Gain clarity and focus. We return the body back to its natural sleep cycles, allowing the mind to restore and improve your cognitive function
Reset your hormones. A body that’s in tune with its natural cycles has balanced hormones. And this will prevent your good intentions and hard work from being hi-jacked and sabotaged by hunger pangs.
Save time. We’ll equip you with time-efficient habits that make healthy living easy to incorporate into your everyday routine.

Q: Will I have to cut out booze?
A: If you can’t do 10 days without any alcohol that’s exactly why you may need to do it! But it is possible to still achieve results if you stick to clear spirits with fresh lime and soda. Alcohol is a toxin, so the best result will always come from zero booze.
Q: Can I eat all my favourite foods?
A: We focus on replacing processed food items rather than the restrictive mentality of a can't have list. We’ll provide you with ‘swaps’ that will help you consider healthier but equally tasty, alternatives.
Q: Do I need to buy expensive healthy food?
A: There is no need to buy any supplements or additional premium health brands, the foods you eat can be purchased on the high street. Healthy food doesn’t need to be expensive if you source locally in-season produce.
Q: What is the purpose of the plan?
A: To allow the gut to heal by removing foods that slowly damage the delicate balance of microbes supporting our body. Good health starts in the gut! We will allow the body to detox through the abundance of foods that allow the removal of toxins naturally, whilst checking the body's intolerance to food items that can create ill health. As you start creating new sustainable habits you will have the awareness of what foods are creating an imbalance for you. It’s for time-constrained individuals that ultimately want a reset to kickstart healthier habits.
Q: Will I lose weight?
A: That all depends on your goals and discipline. Not everyone will want to lose weight and the plan is intended to get the body working optimally through more energy. For most people that will result in fat loss but as you will be eating real food we will not be counting calories (although I do recommend keeping a food diary) or looking at portion control. But you will need to eat until you are full and I will teach you to understand when that really is. The programme will also help to balance hormones that sabotage your willpower.
Q: What happens after the 10 days?
A: Having given your body an abundance of foods it loves, you can now start to enjoy these foods as part of your everyday diet. The reset should be something that you can achieve sustainably with small tweaks to fit within your lifestyle. You will have more energy, feel lighter and have a better understanding of how food is impacting how you feel. I also highly recommend you book a session directly with me to create a long-term plan.
Q: Do I need to be a great cook?
A: No! If you complete the steps the best you can, you will be able to eat food made from outside as well. Preparation is a great tool for healthy eating, as is knowing where your food comes from. I will provide a shopping list, recipe guides, and a support group for inspiration.
Q: Is it suitable for vegans and vegetarians or people with strict dietary requirements?
A: As a plant-based chef with a flexitarian approach to my diet, I created the programme on a plant-based diet allowing for flexibility on the shopping list to add high-quality animal products for you to adapt if that’s your choice over the 10 days. The recipes have been created with this in mind so vegans and vegetarians will have no problem. During the programme, you will be guided to become more connected to what you eat and how it makes you feel. Those with food allergies should not eat any known allergen foods and you’ll also learn more about other foods that are creating imbalance. I also recommend that you consult your doctor on any questions you have about your current health concerns or requirements whilst on the programme. Qualified functional medicine doctors are highly recommended and can be also found at https://www.ifm.org/. This program is not designed for someone looking to cure a progressive or terminal disease.
Q: Can you guarantee I will get results?
A: If you follow my guidance and use the additional support provided, you will get results. You will find the programme transformative. You will have access to multiple online resources, videos that share my style of education and beliefs, and my website that covers nutritious recipes and informative blogs. This gives you an insight into how I approach nutrition and coaching. As everyone truly knows, what you put in is what you get out.
Follow simple guidance, take daily action, and jump-start your journey to optimal health.
