The Good Gut Project
Do you suffer from constipation, diarrhea, bloating, gas, indigestion, unexplained weight gain or weight loss, food sensitivities, acne or other skin conditions, fatigue, headaches, depression, anxiety?
Are you afraid to eat because of your possible food sensitivities and feel like they are ruling your life?
Are you sick of not feeling like yourself and ready to finally get some answers?
The guessing game is over with The Good Gut Project!
The health of the gut is at the core of so many random symptoms and health complaints, from constipation and bloating to skin breakouts, autoimmune conditions, and depression. Let's put it this way, if there is ANYTHING off in your gut, you WILL feel it! It will impact your daily life and your future health, no question. You will find yourself sensitive to otherwise healthy foods, not feeling energized, dealing with constant bloat, and left wondering if this is how life is supposed to be.
Let me tell you firsthand; it is NOT normal to feel this way!
The problem lies in figuring out what 'that thing' is. Many times, going to the doctor yields few answers and more frustration. This disconnect is where functional medicine can provide the answers you've been seeking and heal the root cause issues taking place in YOUR gut so you can feel like yourself again.
Here are some situations that could be going on in your gut that a trip to the doctor won't necessarily find:
- An imbalance of your beneficial vs. pathogenic gut bacteria that can cause digestive distress, skin conditions, mental health concerns, inability to break down food, and weight/metabolic changes.
- An overgrowth of yeast or other fungi causing bloating, weight gain, constipation, headaches, moodiness, and skin breakouts.
- The presence of a parasite that will lead to severe pain, bloating, constipation and/or diarrhea, migraines, skin irritation, fatigue, weight gain/loss, and so much more.
- Poor digestive function and assimilation are causing nutritional deficiencies, brittle hair and nails, weight changes, skin conditions, constipation and/or diarrhea, bloating, indigestion, fatigue, brain fog.
- A congested liver is causing poor fat breakdown, toxic overload, hormonal imbalance and disruption, dry skin, fatigue, weight gain, headaches/migraines, skin breakouts, excessive sweating.
- The presence of gut permeability or 'leaky gut' causes inflammation and immune system dysfunction, food sensitivities, mental and skin health issues, weight changes, digestive distress, and so much more.
But, with ONE particular and comprehensive gut health test, we can get these answers for YOU and heal your gut once and for all.
In this small group class, we will do just that! You will go through the process of testing your gut health from the comfort of your home with a GI-MAP DNA Stool Analysis. Based on those results plus the detailed intake forms you have filled out, Shawn will create a customized healing protocol specific to your case. This protocol will address every aspect that you need to pay attention to including dietary, lifestyle, supplemental support, and stress-management specific to your results and intake forms.
You will have the optional step also to complete a Leap MRT (mediator release testing) food sensitivity panel. This blood test will show the immune and inflammatory reactions your body has when introduced to 130 real foods.
This additional step is highly recommended as it will make the gut healing process MUCH more straightforward and quicker. Many times, the gut will stay compromised with increased inflammation and immune system response until you address your food sensitivities.
On the other hand, when you test food sensitivities without knowing the state of the gut, the information becomes meaningless because you are not finding the CAUSE of the food sensitivities and how to HEAL them. For this reason, never do the MRT food sensitivity test in isolation. The combination of the two functional tests will give you all of the answers you need to heal the gut!
The Good Gut Project takes place over four weeks (although protocols will require more time beyond the course). In those weeks, we will work together on restoring your "digestive fire," building a healthy microbiome, and understanding the emotion-gut connection.
Are you ready to get a good gut?!

- A 12+ Week personalized and customized protocol from Shawn with dietary, lifestyle, supplement, and mindset recommendations
- Lifetime access to the online course forum that includes:
- Four focused modules with weekly audio lessons and printable educational PDF's

- Daily goals to assist in making permanent changes
- Recipes and tips for optimal gut and liver health
- Support and Q&A in private GGP Facebook group throughout the course
WHAT TO EXPECT:
MODULE 1: LEARN & HEAL
With Shawn's guidance, learn how to interpret your test results, so you can get started on your journey towards healing your gut with all of the information you need.
With that information, you can now get going on your specific healing journey with your customized protocol from Shawn. Learn what each step means and why it is included so you can be armed with the knowledge about your body and what it needs to thrive.
MODULE 2: STRENGTHEN
Next, you will work on creating a strong 'digestive fire' -- how we break down and digest food. Believe it or not, most gut issues stem from not properly breaking food down due to weak digestion where food and pathogens are allowed easy access to the gut. And yet, we don't take the time even to consider this as we shovel food into our mouths. By spending some time focusing on this critical aspect, we can make a huge difference in how we feel after a meal and beyond.
MODULE 3: BUILD
This module is all about building a healthy microbiome so your gut, and the rest of your health, can flourish. We need an abundant and diverse set of good gut bacteria to maintain optimal health, yet almost all of us are deficient. Not anymore with the GGP!
MODULE 4: RELEASE
Something that just cannot be overlooked when discussing gut health and yet commonly is -- your mindset! Yes, your thoughts contribute to the function and health of your gut, no question. Now, it's time to explore that for yourself and make some mindset shifts that will positively impact not only your gut but the rest of your life as well.
MODULE 5: THE LONG GAME
Now that we have laid the foundation for a healthy gut, how do we heal that gut lining? And what do we do to make sure it doesn't happen again? We will close out the class discussing this so you will be armed and ready for long-term gut health!
HOW IT WORKS:
-
Test kit(s) get mailed to your door. (Please provide accurate mailing address at checkout.)
-
Collect your samples after you have been off all digestive aid supplements for five days. Get blood drawn if doing the MRT. Send test kit(s) back to the lab in pre-paid shipping envelopes.
-
Your results and personalized protocol will be emailed to you as soon as they are completed. (Please allow three weeks from time of shipment to the lab.)
-
Log in to the classroom and get started with the first module!
- You will be guided through each step with the use of the modules, audio lessons, and PDF attachments. Real-time support will also be given through the private Facebook group and online course forum.
-
After completing the 4-week course, you will go through the remainder of your protocol on your own and with the support of the Facebook group and lessons in the course forum.
