Gut Health Masterclass
Course

“Why am I still bloated, constipated, or dealing with reflux—when my labs are ‘normal’?”

You’re not imagining it. Most gut issues start north to south—in the brain and mouth—and snowball through low stomach acid, sluggish bile, weak enzymes, dysbiosis, and a stressed nervous system. The result? Poor absorption, leaky gut, hormone and immune chaos… and a long list of symptoms that don’t budge with quick fixes.

This masterclass shows you how digestion really works, where dysfunction begins, and exactly how to restore it using a functional-medicine approach. You’ll learn the essentials (nervous system states, stomach acid, bile/enzymes, gut–brain axis), what your stool is telling you, when to use testing, and the precise order of operations—from rapid relief to foundational healing—so you address the root cause, not just the symptoms.

In this course, you’ll learn how to:

  • Understand digestion north → south and spot where it breaks (stress, low HCl, bile/enzymes, microbiome).
  • Read your body’s signals (bloating, reflux, constipation/diarrhea) and what your stool reveals.
  • Use labs wisely (GI-MAP, GI Effects, OAT) and when you don’t need them.
  • Apply the 5R / order of operations: remove triggers, restore digestion, rebalance microbes, and support liver/gallbladder.
  • Get rapid relief (constipation/diarrhea) while you work on foundations.
  • Choose targeted supports (HCl challenge, enzymes, probiotics, bile support) safely and effectively.


The result? Easier digestion, regular BMs, calmer skin and immunity, clearer thinking and mood—and the confidence that you know why your gut was off and how to keep it on track.

Clear steps. Practical tools. A gut plan that finally makes sense.

Fix digestion from north to south—understand the “why,” then heal the gut the right way.

End the Confusion, Stop Chasing Random Gut Supplements


Tired of trying probiotics, elimination diets, or “gut detoxes” that don’t last? Most gut issues start north-to-south — stress → low stomach acid → weak bile/enzymes → dysbiosis → symptoms. This masterclass shows you how digestion really works, where your bottlenecks are, and the exact order of operations to fix them. You’ll know when testing is worth it, which supports to use (and when), and how to build meals and habits that keep your gut calm long-term.

What You’ll Walk Away With

  1. Less bloating, easier digestion, and more regular BMs
  2. Fewer reflux flares and a calmer belly after meals
  3. Confidence reading your own signs (stool, gas, timing, triggers)
  4. Clarity on when you actually need labs — and when you don’t
  5. A practical toolkit: meal hygiene, HCl/bitters, bile + enzymes, fiber types, pre/probiotics, and flare plans
  6. Peace of mind that you’re fixing root causes — not masking symptoms

What You’ll Gain Inside the Course

  • Why gut problems are so common now — stress states, rushed eating, low HCl, sluggish bile, weak enzymes, dysbiosis, and motility issues
  • How to read symptoms and stool like data (frequency, form, color, timing, odor)
  • Step-by-step testing guidance (when to consider breath tests or stool panels, and when foundations come first)
  • Root-cause clarity: gut–brain axis, liver/gallbladder support, permeability, nutrient co-factors, and blood-sugar effects on the gut
  • Practical correction strategies: meal pacing, bitter tonics, targeted enzyme/bile support, fiber/prebiotic choices, probiotic categories, antimicrobial phases if needed, and smart re-introductions
  • Simple product checklists so you can pick probiotics/enzymes with confidence (no brand hype)

Before: Bloated, irregular, food-fearful, and stuck in a cycle of guesswork.

After: Calm, regular, confident — with a step-by-step plan you can reuse whenever life gets busy.

What’s Inside the Gut Health Masterclass

This is the full roadmap to how digestion really works, how it breaks, and what to do about it—organized so a heavy topic feels doable. You get north to south systems, self-assessments, relief playbooks, testing strategy, and protocol sequencing, plus checklists and case studies you can reuse.

Your Course, Your Way

Jump straight to what you need (relief guides, testing, protocols), or watch start-to-finish to see how all the pieces connect.
Module 1: Foundations & North-to-South Digestion
Start with the big picture. You’ll learn the functional approach, what “north → south” really means, and how the brain, stomach acid (HCl), bile, enzymes, and the small/large intestine work together. You’ll see why order matters and how quick relief and foundational work fit into the same roadmap.
Module 2: Where Things Go Wrong
Map dysfunction step by step: stress and rushed eating, low HCl and H. pylori, sluggish bile and weak enzymes, small-intestinal overgrowth, and large-intestinal issues. You’ll connect everyday signs (bloating, reflux, fatty stools, cramps) to their likely “stage” in digestion so you know where to focus first.
Module 3: Gut–Brain–Immune & Leaky Gut
Understand the gut–brain axis, the enteric nervous system, microbiome–immune crosstalk, and how permeability (“leaky gut”) and triggers create the perfect storm for symptoms. You’ll learn the habits that calm the system and support gut lining repair.
Module 4: Read Your Own Signals
Become your own observer. Learn how to interpret stool (frequency, form, color, odor), transit time, gas, and timing after meals. This module turns messy symptoms into actionable data so you can choose the right next step with confidence.
Module 5: Testing, Relief & Foundational Supports
When to test (GI-MAP, GI Effects, OAT) and when you don’t need to. Get rapid-relief playbooks for constipation and diarrhea, then layer foundations: HCl challenge, digestive enzymes, bile support, bitters, fiber types, pre/probiotics, and SIgA support:applied in the right order.
Module 6: Protocols, 5R Framework & Case Studies
Put it together with the 5R method. See how antimicrobial/antifungal/antiparasitic phases, biofilm strategies, binders, and probiotic categories fit into a safe, sensible sequence. Real case studies show you how to personalize, re-introduce foods, and maintain results without getting stuck in endless protocols.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Sarah F.

when I needed a refresher I could jump straight to the exact part and rewatch a short video instead of a two hour lecture. Such a relief to learn this way.

Lillian G.
The summaries at the end of each section were very helpful. They cleared up a lot of my confusion from the more scientific parts and tied everything together. I loved that I could get the big picture without getting lost.
Valerie S.
I like that the videos are short, concise, and straight to the point. The info is easy to understand. I wouldn’t add anything.
Zahra R.
The relief playbooks were gold. Having a clear plan for constipation or diarrhea days kept me calm and consistent while I worked on the foundations. It finally felt doable.
Moe R.
The testing lesson saved me money and stress. I almost ordered a big panel, but I learned what to start with first. I focused on meal hygiene and a careful HCl trial, and I could see what actually helped.

  • Self-paced on desktop or mobile; pick up where you left off anytime.
How fast will I feel better?

Many members feel initial relief within days using the relief playbooks and meal-hygiene tweaks. Deeper, longer-term changes come from working the foundations and 5R plan at your pace.

Do I need expensive lab tests?
Not to start. We prioritize foundations and show you when labs help (GI-MAP, GI Effects, OAT) and when they don’t—so you don’t over-test or waste money.
Will I get quick relief or is it all theory?
Both. You get constipation and diarrhea relief playbooks for immediate help, plus step-by-step foundations so results actually last.
Do I have to cut a bunch of foods?
No. We focus on the north → south order of operations first (nervous system, HCl, bile/enzymes), with targeted experiments as needed—no endless eliminations.
Do I have to take supplements — and which brands are good?
Not necessarily. You’ll learn decision trees for HCl trials, enzymes, bile support, and probiotics: when to use them, how to dose, and when food-first is enough. We include a shortlist of vetted brands plus a quality checklist so you can choose confidently.
I’ve tried probiotics and felt worse—will this still help?
Yes. We explain probiotic categories, when to avoid or switch, and titration so you choose confidently.
Will this help if I have IBS, reflux, or “SIBO”?
Yes. You’ll learn the north to south roadmap, relief strategies, and a clear order of operations that helps many people manage these patterns—use it alongside your practitioner’s care if you’re under treatment. You’ll also get access to our focused programs for next-level support: the SIBO/IBS Relief Program and the Heartburn/Acid Reflux Resolution Program (both included in your membership).
Do I have to follow the modules in order?
No. Use it like a reference—start with Relief, Testing, or Protocols, or watch end-to-end to see how everything connects.
