Follow Your Gut:

Your GI Roadmap to a Happy Belly

Discover the root cause of your gut issues and start feeling comfortable in your belly.

If you’ve been dealing with constipation or diarrhea or bloating or cramping for a while, but all of your tests have come back normal, then it might be time for a new approach.

You may have tried pricey probiotics, greens powder, crazy food restrictions, or random supplements with no relief. And staying on medications long term does not reach your root cause.

If you feel like there’s something deeper going on but you have no idea where to start, I can help.

Welcome to my functional program:

Follow Your Gut: Your GI Roadmap to a Happy Belly

You need a specific approach based on your specific microbiome.

My program digs deep, beginning with mapping your gut. 

The GI-Map is a comprehensive stool test that evaluates YOUR microbiome health.  This test detects bacterial pathogens, parasites, viruses, normal beneficial flora, opportunistic bacteria, autoimmune triggers, yeast, and leaky gut.

It also provides digestive health markers including liver function, digestive enzymes, immune function, gluten tolerance/intolerance, and gut inflammation.

These extensive results will lead to actionable clinical information that will then lead to a healthier, happier YOU.

I want to be your partner on your health journey.

Lori gave me my life back! She is so understanding and knowledgeable, and she discovered the root of my issues (when no doctor could). My only regret is that I didn’t find Lori sooner.

What’s Included?

Your Comprehensive Stool Test

An easy, do-at-home test that will reveal the real picture of what is happening “under the hood.’” The GI Map uses PCR/DNA technology that looks at potential causes of your digestive issues. I will send you your kit and once you sent it back in, it takes approximately 2-3 weeks to get your results. Click here to learn more about this test.

Nutrition Recommendations

We’ll look at your diet and explore which foods support your unique microbiome as well as which ones may be triggers for your symptoms.  My goal is always to support digestion and heal your gut so you can feel good no matter what you eat.

In-depth Consultation

In this hour-long session, we will review your health history along with your test results and start to put the pieces together to uncover your root cause. We will discover what is actually going on inside your body causing your symptoms and begin to formulate a plan. 

Targeted Supplement Strategy

We will strategically integrate supplements to support your healing journey. Supportive herbs, minerals and vitamins will address issues and nutrient deficiencies caused by possible maldigestion and malabsorption.  I will explain the purpose and function of each supplement used.

Customized Protocol and GI Roadmap

Through test analyzation, pattern assessment and critical thinking, I will build an individualized protocol based on your individualized test results and health history.  The goal is to work to correct imbalances and get you back on track.

Follow-up Consultation

In this 45-minute session, we will review and discuss your progress, make any applicable updates to your protocol, and make additional recommendations as needed. This will occur at an agreed-upon time that works best for you. 

Lifestyle Recommendations

Lifestyle is a big part of gut health and overall health.  We will figure out how to modify practices and tweak habits to support your gut health and help restore the natural balance of your GI tract. Remember the foundation of your success is built around the lifestyle changes you will make and sustain.

I was skeptical at first as to whether a nutritionist could help me but in the end, I would say she was the only one who helped me. I am so grateful for her expertise and her help.

Frequently Asked Questions

(hidden first slide)
What makes this program different from other “gut healing programs?”

I will be the clinician working with you.  Not only have I resolved my own digestive issues, I have helped countless others get to a better place with their digestive health.  You will not get cookie-cutter advice from me.  You will receive personalized recommendations designed just for you and your unique microbiome.  And I will hold your hand through the process.

What happens once I purchase?

You will receive a welcome email and educational resources to help you better understand your symptoms and what might be causing them.  I will send you my intake form to fill out online.  I will also mail you your GI Map stool collection kit to your home address.  Once you complete your intake form and test and your results are back (2-3 weeks), you will receive an email to make your first consultation. 

Is the stool test hard to do?

No, it is quite easy.  There is no prep.  You simply follow the instructions in the kit and after completion, you mail it back using the prepaid FedEx shipping label they include.  

How long is our first consultation?

Plan on 1 hour to 1 ½ hours. I want to hear your entire health history and take a deep dive into your symptoms.  We will also thoroughly review the findings from your stool test.  You will start to get clarity about the cause of your issues and how to start alleviating them. 

What should I expect after our first consultation?

You will leave with a step-by-step action plan to start implementing right away.  This will include specific guidance around your customized protocol.

Are supplements included?

Supplements are not included.  Everyone will have different needs depending on their health history, symptoms and test results.  You will receive a 15% discount on all supplements through my online dispensary. 

Do I need to eat a restricted diet for this program?

Absolutely not!  There will be no counting calories, weighing or portioning foods.  There will be specific food suggestions (including nutrients to focus on, foods to include and foods that may be triggers for you, based on your test results.)  The goal is always for you to eat as many foods as possible.  We will work together to figure out how to tailor the healthiest eating plan for you and your digestive system. 

Can I do this program if I’m on medications including PPI’s?

Yes!  We can work together to figure out your root cause even if you are on medications.

How long is our follow-up consultation?

Plan on 45 minutes.  We will review your progress and adjust your plan as necessary. 

Can I sign up if I am in a perimenopause, menopause or post menopause stage of my life?

Yes!   Most people don’t realize that hormones are made in your gut so healing your gut is a foundational step with hormone balancing that often comes with peri/post menopause. 

What if I want more support after the program?

No problem!  We can decide what type of support would be best depending on your progress and goals.  I offer a variety of options available to Follow Your Gut participants. 

Can I use my FSA/HSA card for this program?

Yes! We accept FSA/HAS cards and encourage you to use them!

I decided to sign up for Follow Your Gut to better understand and address my digestive issues that have not been helped during regular doctor visits, as well as to optimize and support a healthy gut microbiome. Despite eating a balanced diet, exercising, and striving for a healthy lifestyle, I have been experiencing mild cramps, bloating, and mild acne.

Working with Lori has been a wonderful resource, as she was able to customize a protocol that is easy to follow and has helped improve my digestive issues. I have experienced a decrease in cramps, bloating, and inflammatory acne, as well as an increase in energy.

I feel better overall and am one step closer to optimal health. I will definitely continue working with Lori, as she delivers, answers all questions, and is pleasant to work with.
