The GRP group online coaching program runs just ONCE a year commencing the first week in AUGUST.

Notification of “Open for Joining” is sent by email. Numbers are capped, so securing a place is on a first in, first serve basis.

If you would like to join our next intake then join our mailing list (on this page) and we’ll notify you when it’s open.

Because the GRP follows a specific set of procedures (Food and Lifestyle Prescriptions) based on evidence-based science that have been proven to shift and rebalance your Microbiome (and health) into a new healthy state.

A ‘protocol’ works on a set of ‘rules and procedures’ for a specific outcome.

For example… the protocol to repair a broken bone is a cast, restriction of movement, physical therapy etc. That is what repairs the bone.

A during this time, with a broken leg, a restriction of walking, dancing, jogging etc. Under normal conditions… healthy pursuits… but with a broken leg, detrimental to healing. In fact it would inflame your condition and result in a longer treatment or even adverse long-term effects.

It’s not about ‘good’ or ‘bad’ but the ‘rules and procedures’ (protocol) for optimal healing.

The Gut Rebalancing Protocol [GRP] delivers Food prescriptions (menu plans) that focus on a variety of foods, in specific doses, quantity and duration to shift your Microbiome in the direction of a NEW healthy state.

The Lifestyle prescription… coaches you through essential elements - proven techniques - that when done daily and consistently, alongside your Food Prescription… shift your Microbiome in the direction of a NEW healthy state.

The GRP (protocol) ONLY works with the combination of BOTH the Food and Lifestyle Prescriptions. If you’re putting all your ‘eggs’ in the one basket (food) then you are going to be disappointed… as the GRP will NOT work!

The GRP is currently the ONLY comprehensive protocol, of its kind, on offer around the world that has taken evidence-based research about the LIFESTYLE and FOOD elements that rebalance the Microbiome and put it into a step-by-step blueprint to transform your health. But you have to adhere to them as prescribed.

Note that the depending on your health issue(s) and the length of time you have been in this condition, the 56-Days can completely resolve them or be the beginning of the start to your transforming your health.

For example… the time it takes to heal a sprained ankle, compared to healing a simple broken bone, compared to healing multiple comprehensive fractures is different.

Look at the RESULTS that our clients have achieved by implementing the food and lifestyle teachings on the GRP.

YES…. you will have access to your unique MEMBER HUB (through our website) where you download the materials and read in your own time.

And YES… by following the DAILY coaching sessions. These sessions are recorded and uploaded to your private Facebook group for you to watch, or listen to, at a time that suits you.

Natalie (and her team) also holds weekly group ZOOM live roundtables where you can ask questions, share ideas, work through challenges and perhaps even gain valuable insights.

If during the GRP you have a personal health question that you wish to have Natalie personally respond then you can book a 1:1 online consult at a special 50% off member-only discount.

*** The GRP is a group online coaching program. All questions are answered in the weekly Zoom roundtables or through a private consult. Any direct questions, comments or messages to GRP Practitioners, received through the GRP Hub, Email, Text, Messenger etc. are deleted ***

We ask you… “If you wanted to develop a set of super toned abs in 10 weeks … how much time each day would you need to commit to?”

10-mins a day?

No… more like 45-60 mins a day!

Our GRP’ers tell us as we save them SO much time with the done-for-them meal planners and shopping lists, that they are able, and willing to, dedicate more time to themselves.

This is what our members say…

“I have freed up SO much time by removing the daily thinking and shopping trip deciding “What shall I make for breakfast, lunch & dinner” to now, never having to think what to have for meals and snacks or what to buy”

“No more time wasted searching for meal ideas on the web, recipe books, magazines etc. with all the recipes provided. And the added benefit of not having to wonder if meals/snacks meet nutritional requirements”

“From traipsing shopping aisles, wondering what to buy, to now shopping with a list knowing exactly what to buy and saving money by buying only what I need, I save $50-$80pw on groceries. Not to mention the time dividend!”

“The weekend essential preparation list provided is magic… I put some music on and enjoy spending time on Saturday in preparation for a smooth-sailing stress-free week”

In regard to the lifestyle elements of the GRP …

We highly recommend you put aside 45 mins a day. If you can’t do that, then this program is NOT for you.

And we’re not including ‘movement time’ because every GRP’er who has come to us was ALREADY doing some form of exercise daily/weekly.

Of course, over the weekend, when you have more time you get to read and re-read through the educational Microbiome rebalancing materials.

We ask you to listen to your DAILY COACHING SESSION either on your way to, or from, work.

The GRP is 100% plant-based.

Not because we believe in ANY particular way of eating but evidence is clear… the dose, variety and type of fibre, prebiotic and probiotic foods have been clinically proven to positively impact the Gut Microbiome - which means restoring YOUR health!

But don’t worry because 95%+ of our members come to us as meat-eaters and every single one of them felt daunted by the thought of ‘just plants’. They had visions of their plate consisting of a few Brussel sprouts, boiled cauliflower and some tasteless Tofu!!

But they soon realize (actually in the first week) that ALL the meals are amazingly delicious - a taste sensation - and they’ve never had so much variety with recipes including cuisines from around the world… Italian, Mexican, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Western, European, Greek and Spanish… and the list goes on.

We provide you with easy to make, nutritious and delicious recipes designed for optimal Gut Health along with weekly meal plans and shopping lists!!

Post-GRP we do NOT endorse any 'one-way' of eating or 'diet'. We educate you on how to eat and live during the GRP so you are set with all the tools needed for sustainably maintaining ongoing Optimal Health with NEVER having to diet again. Seriously, that’s a promise!

The lifestyle components of the GRP are delivered through online modules, which are released weekly and guidance is through the daily coaching to keep you on track.

The lifestyle modules translate evidence-based science into ‘doable’ lifestyle actions that have been proven to positively impact the Gut Microbiome.

Examples of some of the Lifestyle elements covered in the GRP online modules… Digestive Dominoes, Optimal Sleep practices, Movement & Hydration, Stress Awareness, Relief and Stress Management..

These are essential to the protocol, as lifestyle elements have a critical impact on the function of your Microbiome and it’s homeostasis. Without implementing these actions, the GRP will not be effective.

You will have the opportunity to become a subscription member (application and monthly fee) for continued access to Natalie and her teams’ expertise and education in the GRP Hub.

Natalie only works privately with individuals who are participating in the GRP.

Well, it depends… as you can imagine, there a many types of health conditions (too numerous to list here) however the GRP has been 'Doctor & Specialist’ recommended for a wide-range of health issues.

Why?

Because it's an application of cutting-edge research on the Food and Lifestyle elements required to re-establish the function and diversity of your Gut Microbiome… the very foundation of your health.

On this note, we know that your common sense will prevail, and you’ll understand the GRP is not a ‘miracle cure’ and you WILL not eliminate long-standing, multiple health issues, or a chronic health condition a mere 12-weeks. However, you will be equipped with knowledge to continue your health journey. You should consult with your doctor/specialist to ensure this is right for you before joining.

However, you don't need to WAIT until you get a health condition to do it. You may just be at that stage of life where things are starting to fall apart and want to be proactive in prevention and head into your next 30, 40 or 50 more years of life being ridiculously healthy!

Many members commence the GRP taking medications. If you are taking any medication you must follow your doctor/specialist advice. Do NOT stop taking.

Many participants comment that as they progress through the GRP and their condition improves, they work with their doctor/specialist to adjust their medication and in some cases gradually wean off medication all together.

Many participants are over the moon to be able to reduce/stop medications such as PPI’s, Hypertensive meds, Diabetes meds, HRT, Pain relief meds, Anti-depressants, Anti-anxiety meds and so much more under the guidance of their doctor/specialist. See their RESULTS

PTSD & Trauma and Life’s stressors disrupt the Gut Microbiome’s equilibrium, having far reaching implications for your overall health, this includes anxiety, depression and other mental health conditions.

While the Food and Lifestyle elements of the GRP will certainly provide numerous benefits… the process of rebalancing the Microbiome can affect emotional and mental health at critical points during the ‘Gut remodelling’ process’

Having done this work for 10-yrs, we are acutely aware that one-on-one support is crucial to maximize benefits and minimize any fight, flee, freeze or hypervigilance reactions.

Therefore, if you have PTSD, Trauma (old or current) Anxiety, Depression or any other mental health condition by joining you agree that you have mental health support with a licensed counsellor/psychologist in place.

Absolutely, you can eat the same meals together and just add in a few extras for your partner/kids.

Our members all agree… “The recipes are so versatile that you can the whole family can eat the same (so no extra cooking), I just added in a few other things 'extras' for kid's and husband”

And as one our members told us… “Oh and just for you women who are worried about the health of their husbands too - my husband lost over 9kg and is SO much healthier - and that was JUST from eating this way at home, I am not sure what he got up to at work”

In regard to the online lifestyle elements, you have the choice to share with your partner, however ONLY the person has purchased the GRP can join the GRP (coaching) Hub and access the Member Hub.

We ask that you purchase one GRP course per your immediate family (not siblings, adult kids, parents etc) and do not share the materials otherwise.

Absolutely!!

Unlike many recipes that cater for 3, 4 or 5 people ALL recipes and shopping lists have a 1-person column.

This way you can easily buy food and make recipes without wasting money, time or throwing out excess food.

All our shopping lists have a 1-person column, great for individuals and suitable for families that know their times tables ;-)

On average, buying JUST the food you need for the week, equates to savings on grocery bills. See what our members say about saving approx. $100AUD a week. If you’re good at math you’ll work out that you pay for the course with the savings you make!!

NO, NO and NO!!

It is a Food AND LIFESTYLE protocol that steps you through all the elements that create a healthy flourishing Microbiome which equals a healthy flourishing YOU!

As far as food is concerned… you will eat more than you thought was possible and start to see your health transform before you very eyes.

Where the GRP is COMPLETELY different is… rather being restrictive and limiting - it is INCLUSIVE and LIMITLESS - opening you up to an array of delicious meals. So rather than going 'without' you go 'WITH'.

WHY?

Because your Gut Microbiome relies on a range of different types of fibre alongside macro and micronutrients in divided doses for optimal recovery and function.

Many people don’t realise that ‘restrictive’ forms of eating ONLY exacerbate symptoms.

In fact, the latest science clearly states… “Unfortunately, we often see people following a very strict… diet… only sticking to a small number of foods that they feel safe eating. While, this may be helping in the short term, long term the lack of variety can have a negative effect”.

This is because the ‘restriction’ further damages the Gut Microbiome, the foundation of good gut health.

If you would like to read about our members’ experiences on the GRP... read their RESULTS

You will download your menu plans, shopping lists, handbooks to your own computer and these are yours forever so you can return to the content, that you’ve downloaded, any time.

Coaching, educational posts, videos, Zoom roundtables, Podcasts and Gut Health Library are only accessible during the 10-weeks. Unless you continue as a subscription member.

Please note you are responsible for downloading and saving all your GRP Food Prescriptions, Food Prescription Guidelines, Shopping Lists, Recipe e-book, PHA, Action sheets, Tracking sheets, Handbooks, Movement & Hydration prescriptions and one-off sheets e.g. Kitchen Basics, Ingredients A-Z etc. These are ONLY issued once. We highly recommend you keep a backup of all these materials as any request to re-issue any lost, misplaced, stolen or destroyed materials attracts a $30 per document fee. This is non-negotiable. This is payable prior to being re-issued.

NO!

In fact, we ask you to STOP taking your supplements during the GRP.

On the program you will learn ALL about the FOODS that can replace many of the supplements you are on.

We love what our members tell us after the GRP…”Supplement queen to supplement clean - goodbye old crutches! No longer required thank you! $1000's of dollars wasted over the years”

Apart from the basic kitchen pots, pans and cooking utensils you WILL need a high-quality blender/food processor that is made from glass or metal (not plastic) and one that can blend hot or cold ingredients.

A Nutribullet, while good for blending small simple things, will NOT be adequate for bigger blending jobs.

If you can’t afford to buy one, check out online marketplaces or ask a friend if you can borrow theirs!

We highly recommend a machine such as a Thermomix which can be bought new or second-hand.

Also, you will need to buy Resistant Bands (for movement activities) if you don’t already have some.

ABSOLUTELY as the GRP is online!!

The GRP has been successfully done by participants from around the world, which to date, include Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA, Japan, Vietnam, Vanuatu, UK, Scotland, Switzerland and Germany.

In addition, the recipes refer to quantities in teaspoons, tablespoons and cups – which are internationally recognized. And other measurements are both metric and imperial e.g. 100g (3.5oz)

All food items are listed in the most commonly used names in different countries e. g. Capsicum/Bell Pepper, Coriander/Cilantro, Eggplant/Aubergine etc.

• Laptop or Desktop Computer – to access the Member Hub, GRP (FB) Hub, to download files, open pdf files, fill in online documents and listen to podcasts. Needless to say, for an online course, daily access to technology is a must. You will need to be able to have enough memory on your device to download multiple zip files up to 20MB. Note: iPad etc. do not allow fill-in capability for online forms.

• Mobile phone or iPad/Tablet (or computer/laptop) – to access the GRP Hub to watch or listen to videos.

• Internet Access – the protocol is delivered online. Most standard internet connections cope fine with this.

• An Email Account (where you can reliably be reached).

• Adobe – since handbooks, meal plans etc come in PDF format, you’ll need a program to open pdf files. As this is such a common file type, most recent computers have this software preinstalled.

• Microsoft Word (for windows or Mac) or Google Docs – to fill in online documents. If you don’t already have a word processing programme on your computer, Google Docs is a free and reliable online alternative.

• Access to a Printer – we highly recommend that a few documents be printed i.e., meal plans. If you don’t have one at home, many places, such as local libraries, have printing services for a small fee.

In addition to equipment, some people can be a little worried about their ‘computer literacy’ and whether it will stand in the way of successfully completing the GRP but if you can do the following, you’ll be fine…

• Watch a Video on YouTube.

• Join a ZOOM video call

• Use the FB app on computer or mobile phone

• Fill in a document in Word Processing/PDF software.

• Search in our Gut Health Library – it is basically like searching the internet but in one place.

If you have the basic technical setup required and you have digital literacy (and willing to learn!!) you can participate in the GRP.

About 90% of the ingredients can be purchased from ANY supermarket around the globe!!

We know first-hand because to date we have had members from all over Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA, Japan, Vietnam, Vanuatu, UK, Switzerland and Germany.

They have bought their ingredients from local supermarkets such as. Coles, Aldi, Woolworths, Sainsbury's, Aeon, Daiei, Edeka, Safeway, SuperValu, IGA, Fresh St. Market, etc. just to name a few.

Some ingredients such as Enoki Mushrooms, Tamari, Nutritional/Savoury Yeast flakes, Miso paste, Hemp seeds etc. may not be available from your supermarket but are readily available from speciality stores, bulk stores, health food stores, Asian supermarkets or online.

NO, but you can if you want to, it’s a personal choice.

We do specify certain INGREDIENTS that must be organic e.g. some beans, legumes, grains etc. But other fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds can be non-organic.

On the GRP, you will learn how you can reduce pesticides when preparing food and where to strategically spend your money on the products that need to be organic!

Our members tell us that it’s budget friendly and that, on average, an individual saves $80 to $100AUD a week on their grocery bill.

However, having said that, adding new ingredients to your pantry will incur an initial cost but these items will last you months, if not a year e.g., Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar (946ml) = approx. $19, will last you a year!

To help ease the initial costs involved, we provide weekly shopping lists that give you the minimum amount of an ingredient you need for the week. E.g., ½ cup Chia seeds. This allows you to go to a bulk store and buy ‘just’ that rather than having to purchase a whole packet.

Absolutely!!

In fact, we encourage it.

Going out to cafes, restaurants, with friends and family is a part of life and social connections are GREAT for your Gut Microbiome!

In fact, 2 dinners and one lunch a week on your Weekly Meal plan provide options for eating out, or repeating a meal that you liked that week on your meal plan.

During the GRP you will learn STRATEGIES FOR EATING OUT AND SOCIALISING…

Will it require navigating SOME change?

Yes.

But... imagine if you broke your leg and you were in a wheelchair but wanted to eat out.

It would require navigating change, right?

You’d have to think about whether the restaurant has got disabled access, or parking nearby or room in the restaurant to navigate your wheelchair and provide space for it at the table etc.

You’d have to pre-plan, right?

Well the same on the GRP. Just a little pre-planning and you’ll enjoy a fantastic meal and wonderful social connection, fun, laughter, etc. which is SO GOOD for your Microbiome!

Recent research suggests...

..."that human interactions, especially sustained, influence the gut microbiota"

In fact, so much so that the research concluded that...

"Social relationships exert a sustained influence on human health and mortality with social isolation having strong negative consequences and high levels of social integration far exceeding the protective effects on mortality of individual level behaviours such as smoking cessation or maintaining a normal weight"

Let's face it... social events (weddings, engagements, birthdays etc.), work functions, travel etc. are an inevitable part of life... and FUN!

And eating out means no prep time, no washing up and relaxing!!

So is eating out and socializing on the GRP doable?

Yes…VERY do-able AND we encourage it!!!

AND lucky for you, you live in a time that it's never been easier to request a change to a menu item when socializing with the advent of so many eating styles and/or allergies … gluten free, vegan, WFPB, vegetarian, keto, paleo, raw, nut allergies etc.

So don’t worry, we’ve GOT you and will provide wonderful strategies so you go out and have fun while taking care of your health!

YES!!! But you don’t have to if you don’t want to.

In fact, coffee (on its own) has been shown to increase populations of Bifidobacterium... a species known to improve gut barrier function, accelerate intestinal transit and reduce visceral hypersensitivity.

You’ll learn ALL about WHEN the best time to drink your coffee or tea (for your Microbiome and health) while on the GRP!!

You will be asked to focus on particular slow-paced gentle movements (exercise) that research has proven promotes microbial diversity and increases beneficial gut bacteria populations, reduce inflammation and start the regeneration (healing) of the gut wall.

Remember the first question in this FAQ? Where we talked about the protocol for repairing a broken leg? Where walking and dancing were not conducive to healing a broken leg? They’re not ‘bad’ forms of exercise but they don’t help with the healing of a broken bone, in fact they will make it much worse!!

Well, it’s the same with the GRP, there are ‘specific’ movements that assist with healing and others that disrupt the Microbiome. During the GRP you’ll learn all about this and guided what to do.

Just a quick heads up… if you’re doing strength training, swimming, Yoga or Pilates then it is fine to continue, but you will need to STOP any types of vigorous endurance or high intensity exercise programs/routines/sessions - that includes long walks!

When dealing with a disrupted Gut Microbiome, alcohol increases ‘endotoxins’ contributing to the inflammatory process.

Think of putting a fire-starter on a fire!!

Alcohol has been shown to acutely disrupt gut barrier function (and increase intestinal permeability) and can alter the immune system by affecting the immune systems luminal interface (intestinal lining) thus increasing intestinal permeability and antigen exposure which increases the risk of disease flare.

But that doesn’t mean no alcohol for the entire GRP, in fact when the time is right our GRP’ers enjoy a glass of organic preservative free red wine.

You’ll learn all about this on the GRP!!

With 100 recipes used in the GRP, you can imagine it is difficult to show a sample of each one.

But here is one of recipe I am sure you will like (it's a big hit with little kids and big kids) CHUNKY SPICED TOMATO AND CORN SOUP

Yes and No.

OATS that are wholemeal, ORGANIC and UNCONTAMINATED i.e., oats NOT rolled in wheat or other gluten containing grain are used in some recipes. The safety of oats in individuals on gluten-free diets has been extensively investigated and evidence shows that the various components of uncontaminated oats (those not rolled in wheat, rye, barley etc.) have important components such as dietary fibre and beta-glucans (β-glucans), a prebiotic source. Research has shown that β-Glucans are a strong immune stimulants, antagonistic against benign and malignant tumors, can lower cholesterol and triglycerides, assist in maintaining blood glucose balance, protect against harmful pathogens, and improve gut integrity. The gut microbiota metabolizes the oat’s components to produce Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs) that have a strong anti-inflammatory effect on the body and may help individuals following a gluten-free diet. The protein in oats - Avenin - has been extensively evaluated and studies show that the immune activation sequences present in gliadin (gluten) are missing in avenin. However, it is necessary to understand that there are many varieties and cultivars and thus oats may contain various amino acid sequences and thus different immunoreactivities. Thus, it is essential to thoroughly study the variety of oats being used before including it in a gluten-free diet. You should always discuss the safety of oats for your individual circumstances with your health care specialist. Alternatives are given for each recipe containing oats.

As the GRP progresses, and state of your gut improves, then there are options to use ‘gluten free’ or ‘organic whole foods’ that have a gluten component.

Yes, it is ‘dairy free’ but we are NOT against dairy!!

Don’t worry as we provide the most amazing recipes for simple to make non-dairy milks, chocolate, cheese, desserts, salad dressings and more!

Please email hello@nataliewoodman.com with your question and one of our team will respond within 3 business days.

The first question asked and the last question we answer.

Why?

Because it doesn’t matter if the GRP is - $50, $1000 or $10,000 - if you are not ready to commit to prioritizing your health… then you are wasting your money.

⊕ If you’re looking for a ‘detox’ or ‘quick fix’ or get ‘this health stuff over and done with’... then, do NOT join.

⊕ If you’re not teachable or coachable... then, do NOT join.

⊕ If you want to sit back and wait for change, without changing… then, do NOT join.

⊕ If you want to focus on just the Food and NOT the lifestyle … then, do NOT join.

⊕ If you’re not willing to put aside 15-20 mins (daily) to listen to the coaching video (listen on your way home from work!)… then, do NOT join.

⊕ If you’re not willing to carve out an average of 45 mins a day for YOURSELF… then, do NOT join. (This can be done at any time that suits you, and throughout your day)

⊕ If you're not willing to step outside of your Comfort Zone… then, do NOT join.

⊕ If you’re not willing to implement teeny tiny behaviours each day that are health supporting … then, do NOT join.

I know it sounds like we are trying to put you off... but we want to be totally upfront and make it very clear — there are NO quick fixes for health ailments you’ve had for years.

Your health did NOT decline over night, it took years.

We’re confident you will get RESULTS -- but it means YOU taking daily action and implementing BOTH the food and lifestyle elements we teach you. Seamlessly adding them to your day and putting them ON TOP of your (endless) daily ‘to-do’ list!

The GRP (protocol) ONLY works with the combination of BOTH the Food and Lifestyle Prescriptions.

So, in answer to your question… “How much does the GRP cost?”…

The GRP is not a cost, it’s an investment - this is not ‘sales speak’ - it literally is an investment in your ‘now’ and ‘future’ health. In fact, we’ll be as bold as to say… that it will outperform and be cheaper than any health insurance policy you have!!!

But before we tell you how much, we want you to think about HOW much your health issues are costing you, in the way of…

• Supplements?

• Over-the-counter and prescribed Medications?

• Specialist appointments?

• Treatments?

• New wardrobe items?

Or HOW much your current health issues are costing you with…

• Your relationships – with your partner, friends, family?

• Taking time off work, or not being able to work?

• To your self-esteem and confidence?

When you add up ALL these costs to your hip-pocket and wellbeing… we think that you will find that your investment for the GRP is well worth it with ….

• 14-Days of ‘Prepped for success’ daily group online coaching … valued at $420

• 56-days of daily online group coaching and materials… valued at $1680.

• 7-day post-GRP online group coaching… valued at $210.

• Weekly Zoom Group Roundtables with practitioners….valued at $330.

A total value of $2640AUD… but we offer an early bird price to those on our mailing list.

And because we save you an average of $10.00 a day (while on the GRP with no food wastage, no buying lunch, snacks etc.) you’ll pay for the GRP with your savings. not to mention the invaluable improvements to your health, your relationships, your life – which really is priceless!

If you would like to be notified of our next intake, then join our mailing list (on this page) and we’ll notify you when it’s open or email us and we’ll add your details to our mailing list.
