What People Are Saying About Gut Guidance
"Karen did a good job honoring the fact that she didn't need to overwhelm the client with a laundry list of dietary and lifestyle changes. A protocol can't be successful if the client can't stick to it."
"This was a complex case, and I truly appreciate how thorough and client-centered the practitioner’s approach was. One thing that stood out to me was how the practitioner (Karen) allowed the client to guide the conversation, which I think is crucial in a situation with so many moving parts."
"What really sets Karen apart was the level of detail and support she provided. Not only did she explain why certain herbs and foods were important for my body, but she also gave me easy-to-follow recipes and step-by-step directions that made implementing these changes feel manageable.
Her approach was warm, knowledgeable, and always grounded in a genuine desire to help me feel my best. I appreciated the ongoing guidance, regular check-ins, and her ability to adjust recommendations based upon a busy lifestyle."
"Before working with Karen I had hit a wall for health and fitness. I was doing everything right to the best of my knowledge, but I was still having fatigue, fog brain and chronic inflammation. Karen helped me slow down, really look at my health, my routine practices and my diet, and show me easy tweaks that have drastically paid off. I now know how to identify poor health manifestations in my day to day, and quickly go back to the basics she taught me."
“Even while still needing prescriptions, Karen’s natural approach eased the side effects and supported my complex health concerns, including remission from cancer and gastroparesis. I finally feel hopeful, healthier, and more in control.”
