The Gut First Method
A 6-month private coaching experience that combines functional testing and a root-cause strategy to rebuild health at the foundation—restoring balance, vitality, and body confidence while transforming your body and your life from the inside out.
This method is for you if…
You’re experiencing persistent bloating, food sensitivities, or digestive discomfort that never seem to resolve.
You’re dealing with unexplained symptoms — headaches, skin issues, fatigue, or hormonal shifts.
You’ve tried eating “clean,” working out harder, and doubling down on self-care, yet your body still resists change.
You’re drained by energy crashes, cravings, and mid-day slumps.
You’ve been told “everything looks fine,” but you know in your gut the real root cause hasn’t been addressed.
If you’re ready to stop chasing quick fixes and start healing at the root
…then you’re ready for my 3-Phase Gut First Method.
Why Nothing Has Worked (Until Now)
If you’ve tried diets, medications, supplements — even worked with specialists — but you’re still bloated, inflamed, and exhausted… it’s not your fault.
Here’s why the “fix-this, fix-that” approach hasn’t worked:
Diets chase calories, not root causes.
Medications mask symptoms instead of resolving them.
Supplements act like band-aids without a plan.
Even specialists often miss how gut imbalance drives hormones, sleep, mood, and weight.
The result? Temporary relief, no real change.
That’s why I created The Gut-First Method — a root-cause approach that heals your gut so everything else falls into place: energy, hormones, fat loss, confidence, vitality.
Because when your gut works, your whole body works.

Phase 1: Reset & Stabilize
We begin by getting to know you—your history, symptoms, and lifestyle. From there, we create a foundational plan designed to:
Relieve symptoms
Reduce exposure to triggers
Calm inflammation
This phase lays the groundwork, giving your gut stability while we prepare for deeper healing.
-
Phase 2: Test & Rebuild
While you’re supported with gut basics, we move beyond guessing. Through functional testing and blood work (GI-MAP, DUTCH, and more), we uncover the true drivers of dysfunction.
With your results in hand, we design your personalized 6-month roadmap—a root-cause strategy to repair the gut and restore balance across your body.
-
Phase 3: Sustain & Empower
As healing takes hold, we shift focus to long-term strategies. In this phase, you’ll learn how to keep your gut healthy so results last.

Client Transformations
Before joining Bloomed Wellness, I knew I needed to make changes, but I felt overwhelmed by all the diets, fads, and ‘health’ advice that wasn’t tailored to me. Since starting, I’ve accomplished my main goal: feeling like myself again. I can move with ease alongside my kids, my energy is balanced throughout the day, and I’ve completely let go of caffeine — no more crashes or midday cravings. My husband and kids notice the changes every day. I’m restructuring my life in ways that support my health long-term, and I’m so grateful for Bloomed Wellness and the personalized support that’s made these shifts possible. -BS
“I am over 4 months into The Gut First Method and have never felt better! I can see and feel the inches melting from my waist, and I’m eating more food than ever. I know 2025 will be my year to grow my family, and with the support of this program, I’m that much closer to fulfilling my dreams. Reflecting on the past 4 months, I feel like I’ve leveled up 10 steps from where I used to be. I’m more dialed in, more focused, and so excited for the future!” - AR
Working with Bloomed Wellness has been life-changing. When we started, I was struggling with constant bloating, unpredictable digestion, and restless nights that left me exhausted during the day. Within just a few weeks, my digestion calmed, I started sleeping through the night, and my daytime energy skyrocketed. For the first time in years, I feel in control of my health and I’m finally sleeping well again.” -WH
“Five months into The Gut First Method, and after 30 years of struggle, I can finally digest fats without triggering reflux. I can enjoy gluten and dairy without flare-ups. I’ve never felt freer with food—I’m eating more than I used to, sleeping better, and I now have daily bowel movements (I used to be lucky to go once a week). My body is leaner and more toned—I even had to buy new jeans. The biggest lesson? You don’t have to starve yourself to lose weight; with the right plan, you can eat more and feel better.” — KL
Wins we see on our weekly check-ins- these could be yours!
-
“My bloating is gone!”
-
“I bought new jeans — no muffin top!”
-
“My hips and waist are definitely getting smaller.”
-
“My ams and legs are looking more toned every week.”
-
“No more gas or stomach issues — and I’m pooping every day!”
-
“I can finally tolerate dairy — my favorite food — without reactions.”
Why The Gut First Method Is Different
When even one of the three foundations of health — sleep, digestion, or metabolism — is out of balance, your health begins to decline. And more often than not, all three are affected at once.
At the root of it all is the gut. Your body is made up of trillions of cells, and every single one relies on specific compounds from food to function. If your gut can’t properly break food down and release those compounds, your cells can’t do their job — and you feel it. Low energy. Poor sleep. Hormonal chaos. Stubborn weight. Inflammation that shows up in your skin, mood, and immunity.
No amount of dieting, restriction, or exercising harder can fix that.
That’s why the Gut-First Method doesn’t start with food rules or calorie cuts. Instead, we focus on:
Uncovering the root causes of dysfunction through advanced functional testing.
Rebuilding a strong foundation so your gut can finally absorb, repair, and fuel your body the way it was designed to.
Equipping you with simple, sustainable strategies to keep your health thriving for life.
Once the gut is restored, the three foundations — sleep, digestion, metabolism — begin to work in harmony again. And when that happens, every system in the body benefits. Energy rises. Hormones rebalance. Confidence grows. And fat loss becomes a natural byproduct of a body that is finally working for you, not against you.
