3-Steps to Reset your Gut Health
When healing the gut, the order we follow for gut healing steps matters. To be even more specific, the first three steps in a gut healing journey we feel matters the most. These are also often the steps we see most providers not guiding their clients to focus on. This is why we are changing the game of gut healing and sharing our approach for how to heal your gut to ensure full relief from bloating, constipation, loose stools, low energy and achieve full relief from your symptoms.
Our first three steps for better gut healing:
Step One: Reset your Metabolism
Step two: Open your Detox Pathways
Step three: Build Resilient Habits
If we were starting on a gut healing journey in 2025, these are the first three steps we would take. Other approaches that blow by these beginning foundation steps eventually find they continue to struggle with unpredictable and persistent bloating, frustrating constipation and never achieve the experience of true health resilience.
These are also the foundational steps to revisit consistently over the long term to maintain optimal gut and hormone health as gut healing is not a one and done process but more about how we maintain our foundations for long term health and vitality.
The problem when other gut healing approaches don’t take the care to build in these fundamental steps:
The focus is solely on what to eliminate, remove and reduce rather than how to nourish, rebuild and restore especially when it comes to the metabolism. This is the key step to restoring energy, eliminating inflammation and building a fueled metabolism.
Clients feel worse through the gut healing process than they did initially because there wasn’t enough preparation of the detox and drainage systems - or more simply put how the body self cleans. This can lead to more inflammation and waste being stirred up during a gut healing journey without any clear path to leave the body causing more unwanted bloating, fatigue, headaches and skin breakouts.
Relying only on supplements and quick-fix remedies rather than integrating the sustainable lifestyle practices that help you understand how to care for your body and benefit your holistic health including gut, thyroid, hormones, sleep and more so you never have to go back to square one.
We are set on changing the gut healing game and helping our community to start a gut healing journey right or even revisit the fundamental tools to tune up your gut even months or years after you’ve done the gut healing work with us.
So now is a better time than any to announce our 6-week Gut Health Reset program! Join us LIVE this March 2025 in our step-by-step program to address the three gut health reset fundamentals to eliminate bloating, restore full daily bowel movements, lower inflammation and improve energy. We will guide you to reset your metabolism, open your detox & drainage pathways and how to build resilient habits to heal your gut and stay healed!

So let's break down each fundamental gut healing step and why we guide our clients through them as part of their Gut Health Reset journey.
Step One: Reset your Metabolism
Resetting the metabolism is the first step in gut healing. Metabolism doesn’t just mean weight, in fact it is the process by which our body makes and uses energy - so the health of our metabolism influences everything from our energy throughout the day, to our thyroid function and even impacts our gut and hormones!
We often hear people talking about having a slow metabolism, but what they are actually referring to is an under-fueled metabolism. How we feed our bodies has the greatest influence over the health of our metabolism. This includes not only what we feed our bodies but how and when we feed our bodies.
How to feed a fueled metabolism means understanding and eating enough calories and macronutrients like protein and carbohydrates as well as the key minerals and nutrients needed to turn food into energy efficiently. When we feed our body is also important for a fueled metabolism as this ensures we are working with our gut, hormones, stress and even blood sugar to eliminate excess inflammation, provide consistent energy and restore healthy daily bowel movements.
If you are struggling with any of these symptoms these can be signs from your body that your metabolism is under-fueled:
Constipation, bloating, energy crashes or fatigue, brain fog, waking at night or insomnia, low appetite, always feel cold, hair loss or thinning, stubborn weight, PMS symptoms, hypothyroid, imbalanced mood or intense food cravings
These symptoms and having a history of yo-yo dieting, restricting food or gaining or losing weight multiple times can lead to an under-fueled metabolism.
Or like many of our clients (and 10-15 years of my personal journey) you might just plain unintentionally under eat which can lead to an under-fueled metabolism.
Inside of our Gut Health Reset program, we guide you to jump start your metabolism by starting with what we like to call a 2-week metabolic reset. This reset is food first, helping to deeply nourish the body to reduce inflammation, restore key minerals and nutrients and increase energy production at the same time we rebalance your nervous system, charge up your thyroid and restore appetite to reset the baseline of your metabolism. Our 2-week reset is followed by step-by-step breakdown on how to fuel your unique metabolism for the long term to rebuild resilience in the body and eliminate the stress under eating and low metabolism can create that lead to gut and hormone issues.
Relearning how to fuel the body is the most fundamental step and what we guide clients to master based on their unique needs in this 6-week program.
Step two: Open your Detox Pathways
How the body self-cleans is a direct driver of both gut and hormonal health. Our detoxification and drainage pathways are the bodies' waste networks and how well those pathways are working determines how well the body is able to self clean. If our bodies are not optimally taking the trash out everyday it can lead to a back up of waste, toxins and even hormones that can drive bloating, loose stools or constipation, low energy, acne, headaches, mood, PMS and more. We refer to this as congestion in the drainage system. The detox and drainage systems are made up of the lymphatic system, liver and gallbladder and the intestines with secondary waste systems being the skin, kidneys and lungs. These organ systems are in charge of taking the trash out of the body - think stool, urine and sweat!
When there isn’t enough preparation of the detox and drainage systems, people can feel worse through the gut healing process than they did initially. Opening congested detox and drainage pathways are pivotal to helping clients feel good and get better results on a gut healing journey start to finish. Without proper support this can lead to more inflammation and waste being stirred up during a gut healing journey that puts more pressure on the secondary waste systems causing unwanted bloating, fatigue, headaches and skin breakouts.
The most common symptoms we see with congested drainage pathways:
Constipation
Nausea
Pale, frothy or floating stools
Inability to sweat
Acne and skin conditions like eczema, etc
Hormonal symptoms: PMS, mood swings, heavy/painful periods
Increased cellulite
Frequent urination
Puffiness & fluid retention
Low energy
Poor tolerance to alcohol or caffeine
Weight loss resistance
This is why in our work with 1:1 clients and in the Gut Reset program we focus on optimizing the detoxification and drainage system from the start through food and lifestyle such as attaining daily bowel movements, ensuring optimal intake of macronutrients, key foods like bitter foods and daily movement, like walking. There are also key supplements that we find to be especially helpful when supporting the drainage pathways.
Understanding how to support these systems in your daily life is key to gut healing but it is also key to staying healed as the detox and drainage system is how the gut and body self clean daily. Optimizing detox and drainage system helps to protect against gut overgrowths, hormone imbalances and even maldigestion that can lead to IBS, fatigue, gas and skin issues.
Inside of our 6-week Gut Reset program we aim to guide you in how to heal your gut, optimize your detox and drainage systems and stay healed.
Step three: Build Resilient Habits
“I am eating so clean, but I am still struggling with constipation, acne and I’m exhausted - I don’t understand!”
This is the sentiment we hear from so many of our prospective clients who reach out to work with us. What do you do when you are eating all the “right” things, but not feeling improvements in your symptoms - and sometimes clean eating can even make gut symptoms worse. It's a frustrating experience that when clients try to navigate gut healing alone can leave them feeling defeated, confused and worsening their relationship with food.
So where do you start?
This is where the three steps of the Gut Reset come together in perfect harmony. First, working to repair the metabolism and restore healthy drainage helps to improve digestion, attain daily bowel movements and reduce maldigestion. The first two steps help to shift the environment of the gut and body so that step three of how to feed the body everyday doesn’t feel so symptomatic or confusing.
Step three is all about strengthening the foundations and building the lifestyle and nutrition habits that will continue to heal the body for the long term. The fundamentals of lifestyle and nutrition are not the sexiest concepts, but if we bypass the foundations, we won’t be able to fully achieve healing in the gut or body. Simply said, the unsexy foundations are the most powerful healing tools.
What are the most impactful foundations we guide you in building into your life:
Deep Nourishment - How, when and what to eat to nourish the gut, heal the body and restore resilience in the face of stress. Our approach is to teach you how to eat versus just focus on what to eat so you understand how to balance your blood sugar using food, avoid undereating that drives stress and maintain vibrant energy levels by nourishing your thyroid.
Circadian Rhythm & Sleep - Our sleep and wake cycles govern our stress hormone cortisol which is a major driver of gut and hormone health. We focus on strategies to strengthen these important cycles and help our clients to understand how to realign when life inevitably falls off track because we aren’t preaching perfection.
Building Daily Habits - Working to construct your optimal morning and night routines to ground your day is a key piece for long term gut and hormone health. We workshop together realistic routines and what non-negotiables are for each individual.
How to Calm a Stressed Gut & Body - Stress drives gut and hormone health challenges. Our focus is on how to build resilience in the face of stress through practical, actionable and effective strategies that don’t just include meditation and quitting your job.
The resilient habits or the unsexy foundations as we love to call them - are the tools that take clients to the finish line of healing. When our clients understand and know how to use these foundations on a daily basis, this is when the real magic happens.
