Katrina completely changed my world! When I first met Katrina I had about 10 foods on rotation. The only fruit I could tolerate were blueberries and sometimes I had to take a break on those too. I was scared, desperate, and was starting to think I was never going to get better. I had restricted so many foods on top of the gluten and dairy I already can’t eat have because I have celiac and lactose intolerance. She treated me for the kind of SIBO I had (hydrogen and methane with methane dominance) and identified my root cause which was game changing. I was finally placed on the right combo of antimicrobials that I could tolerate. She taught me how to eat again and we slowly started introducing FODMAPs and healing my stomach with the right tools. It was slow but I finally made progress which hadn’t happened with anyone else. Katrina helped me to lose a lot of the food fear that I had developed and helped me get through the occasional flare ups and tough moments. She liberated my diet so much and gave me hope that I was going to heal and get better. I don’t feel afraid to eat anymore and I have gotten back every single FODMAP on top of so many other foods! The biggest game changer for me was getting apples back! I hadn’t eaten them in over 2 years and now I eat them every day. I went from not being able to tolerate decaf to drinking 2 cups a day. I am still healing but I did a complete 180 with Katrina’s help and guidance. I am eternally grateful.

For approximately 5 years I dealt with stomach issues, vomiting, diarrhea, bloating, cramping, brain fog, and more. I was eventually diagnosed with SIBO and tried all sorts of treatments. I tried a strong prescription twice, a week at a well known hospital, and the natural route with supplements. When I started with Katrina I was on a literal handful of supplements with each meal and to start and end my day. I was also eating essentially the same short list of food for every meal. Even with all of the supplements and limited diet I wasn't feeling great and was still reacting to food. Through working with Katrina on the SIBO testing phase we were able to determine which FODMAPs are my triggers and and add back in the food and nutrients I had been missing for so long. Her knowledge of resources, and availability to quickly answer questions gave me confidence to try new foods and recipes. We also removed all the supplements from my routine! I now have the ability to eat the same foods as my family and even go out to eat with confidence! It is wonderful to not have my kids tell people "Mom is sick and can't eat that" and I'm not missing out on life anymore!

Katrina had a very in-depth initial intake and then a one on one prior to starting the group sessions. Each week she gave me different homework to do and treatments to try along with dietary changes to help my symptoms. She help me to get my constipation under control which ultimately what is the root cause of my methane SIBO. I restarted anti microbial therapy and did food trials to see what foods were contributing to my GI upset . I slowly re-introduced foods and was able to win way down on the constipation supplements. I am a person who has always had maybe 2 to 3 bowel movements per week and now for the last 3 to 4 months I have had a bowel movement at least once per day because of Katrinas help. I no longer suffer from loading or acid reflux, and my energy levels are so much more improved. My mental clarity is back and I’m starting to feel like my normal self again. If you are somebody who is struggling with bloating, G.I. upset, constipation, diarrhea, or any other G.I. symptoms Katrina is incredibly knowledgeable and offers customized treatment to help deal with your specific needs. She is professional, but also kind and truly cares about helping you.

Working with Katrina was literally life-changing. Joining the weekly support group was so good for my mental health because it let me connect with others going through the exact same thing as me. Katrina helped me finally get rid of the SIBO by getting to the root cause and NOT having to do a 3rd round of antibiotics. As she states over and over again, if you don't deal with the root cause, then antibiotics aren't going to cure you. She goes over your weekly food, mood, and stool journals to help you figure out what to change in your diet to help support your gut. She recommends probiotics and/or supplements based specifically on the type of SIBO you have that are proven to work. She doesn't just throw supplement after supplement at you. She listens to you and if you say something isn't working, then she figures out a different way. She doesn't give up on you, which is what I needed after dealing with SIBO for almost 2 years. Now I can finally eat all my favorite foods again without worrying if it's going to send me into a pain/nausea spiral for days. I have energy and can go out to events or on hikes without worrying about where the nearest bathroom is. I feel normal and healthy again!

I don't know that I can truly articulate how much Katrina has helped me and what that's done for my quality of life, but I will try! Katrina's approach and method has literally changed my whole life and views on food. From helping me modify food I used to enjoy (prior to a restrictive diet) to be low FODMAP & going through that to identify any possible food triggers, to pushing me to advocate for myself, giving me the tools to ease symptoms, reintroducing FODMAPs, identifying non food triggers, I literally can not name them all. We've not only pretty much healed my gut but my mental health has also improved majorly. It seems like such a basic thing but I now know how to eat, I can eat literally anything (and if any symptoms do pop up I know exactly how to ease them) and so much freedom comes with that. I have a huge understanding of how MY body functions, especially in relation to things that may trigger symptoms. I use to eat wildly because the SIBO was so bad anything would cause my symptoms. Then I ate super restrictive, to the point where I'd eat once a day and it would be like greens and a few nuts. To low FODMAP with Katrina, in a methodical way. And now I eat intentionaly, while also being able to enjoy "junk" food when I want to. I literally feel "normal", which was not the case for 10+ years!

Katrina has truly changed my life. The app she uses and the weekly calls held me accountable for my diet during the week and we focused on food first and then testing to get to the root cause. By strictly adhering to the low-fodmap diet for a couple weeks, it truly allowed my system to "reset" and then she very strategically had me add different foods back in to my diet. This technique allowed me to see very specifically which foods were potential trigger foods and which were safe. We also tested for H.Pylori which came back positive so we did a round of supplements to heal that, and continued to test for SIBO as well which was thankfully negative. After working with Katrina for 6 months, I became confident in knowing how to balance my diet in order to achieve normal stools, no bloating/gas and no diarrhea!

Katrina literally changed my life. Three years ago I joined one of her group programs. We all met once a week and I finally felt like maybe here was someone who was actually going to listen to me and know what to do. We started with a course of the correct antimicrobials to kill off the SIBO. This was hard on my body, so after treatment, we decided the best way to fully clear the SIBO was to focus on rebuilding my digestive system by increasing my foods, improving my motility, and addressing my stress and lack of sleep. I was really scared to try anything different that might make things worse, but slowly, over time, I realized that Katrina was right. I dropped all the supplements that didn't seem to be working and started taking the few Katrina suggested. After a little trial and error, I quickly saw a noticeable difference in how I felt. Other doctors had told me to take a multi-strain probiotic, but that always made my symptoms worse. Katrina knew which single strain to put me on and I experienced almost immediate relief from my lower GI symptoms. She showed me what I already knew deep down but didn't have anyone else telling me - that you have to take care of your whole self and not just your symptoms. Katrina has a unique plan of action for every individual and she absolutely knows what she is doing. I trust her completely.
