TRANSFORMATION… “I joined in a moment of fear – terrified by a random thought that flitted through my brain that I would not make it to my 55th birthday. On the suggestion of a friend and listening to an “All the Dirt” podcast episode that featured Natalie as the guest, I got straight on finding out what I needed to do.

It hasn’t been easy for me – it seems I have a rebellious attitude and don’t like being told what to do - which I find interesting given I was the one who signed up to this, no one forced me!

I have learned other interesting aspects of myself, and continue to bump up against blocks, attitudes, and beliefs that don’t serve me. Being aware of these things, and constantly questioning myself why I do what I do has seriously made all the difference, as well as having the tools now to do something about them.

Finding some great qualities about myself too has lifted my self-esteem and confidence and I realise now that I CAN make amazing changes in my life.

Some of the great changes that have happened since I started: I have more energy, have lost over 20 kgs, and my blood pressure improved so no medication required. Most of my gut issues – bloating, and in particular, flatulence has improved. I used to experience pain in my chest too, which I was told was a reflux symptom – I only get this now when feeling stress. I can get up and down off the ground as I need to, without having to pull myself up with something, I feel stronger and just move easier in general. My hair, and especially my skin looks so much better, and the fact I have colour in my skin, instead of looking pale and washed out is often commented on by family and friends.

I understand how food and my lifestyle impacts my health and have tools now to manage my stress levels, which have been my biggest challenge, and have enjoyed life flowing better with my ME schedule. I have some firm rituals around my morning lemon blend and hydration, and still love my barefoot walks and yoga. I have a solid framework which supports me when ‘life’ happens.

When I’m spending time with my family, I have the energy to join in, and I’m particularly looking forward to the arrival of my first grandchild (a little girl) mid-September. I will be an active, engaged Nana. I always had problems getting on the floor with my kids when they were little – that won’t be an issue with my grandkids! My daughter is getting married in October – guess who won’t have any problems with hitting the dance floor?! (Time to embarrass the kids! Hahaha!!) I feel confident too, that I’m going to look great as the Mother of the Bride.

I feel so much more hopeful for the future. There’s been lots of stresses lately, both good and bad, and challenges I have yet to find solutions for, but in a similar position prior to doing this I would have totally fallen apart. I make decisions now, based on what is healthy and right for me and those decisions are always the right ones. My attitude these days is that there is always a way.

Thank you to all the lovely Gut Health Circle members who have inspired and supported me. I am grateful for you. And thanks doesn’t seem enough, Nat and Michael for your endless patience, for calling me out when I needed and being gentle with me when I needed that too. I made it to my 55th birthday and beyond, which I may not have without what I have learned from you both. SO - THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart for your support and showing me a better way to live my life, with my health and wellbeing as my number 1 priority”

TRANSFORMATION… “As a wife, mum of two boys (22 and 16) and working work full time, I was exhausted at the end of each day. Diagnosed with high cholesterol, high Ferretin levels and considered ‘pre-diabetic’, it made me realise how important it is to look after my health.  

A few months on, and my blood results have shown that my cholesterol is much lower (7.2 to 5.6), Ferritin has reduced to half its previous level and I am NOT pre-diabetic.  I feel great within myself, I have a lot more energy to stay active throughout the day, I’m sleeping well, not feeling bloated or lethargic, no more constipation, healthy nails and skin and my aches and pains have disappeared.! I now have all the tools to help me continue this journey. I have learned that with a variety of good food and never forgetting my WHY, my health will only keep getting better and stronger. And thanks to Nat of course, for her hard work and keeping us all on the straight and narrow The results are AMAZING and I am so happy and fortunate to have found you” 

After 56-days: Weight down by 6kg, Waist down by 9cm.
After 6-mths: Weight down by 12kg, Waist down by 13.5cm.

TRANSFORMATION… “How I look will be up to the world, from my part my skin is good, my body is good, I'm much more flexible, almost no pain from a lot of pain, I feel great.

I hate to admit it but I’m working more, 10 to 12 hrs a day with little or no drop in energy. Focus is great and almost nothing phases me. Life changes, as well as above, I'm more patient with people and the future is clear with minor concerns, even in these difficult times.

There are too many thing to note fully that I have learned but here are a few, I can get pretty much all I need from food and vegetarian to boot, big one for me. Planning is critical for consistency of meal prep. I thought I had a good handle on food science, that has expanded dramatically. I can get rid of pain using diet.

I am very well equipped to look after my health with all of the above and a whole lot more.

Just like to add that process that has been developed by Nat is fabulous and the compassionate rigor that is show by Michael and Nat second to none and I appreciate your commitment to myself and the others in the group and thank you to you both and the Sentinel Sally .

TRANSFORMATION… “The program has shown me that I have the strength to make good choices and that those choices make a huge difference to my life. Although sometimes it may not feel like it to ‘teenage Andrea’ I remind myself that life is actually easier when I follow the protocol. Making this change has been about self-care and self-respect. And most of the time, it just takes a minute or two to reflect on that to get myself through a tough spot.  

We all have our challenges, for me, my unusual circumstances involve juggling quite a stressful creative workload. My working hours vary from day-to-day, and also from hour-to-hour. Full of highs and lows. It makes life hard sometimes, but the program has taught me prep is key and also that I need to make space in my life for downtime - that includes getting outside to move my body and clocking off at night so I can get a good night’s sleep. Also that these things MUST be part of my daily life. 

Mum finally realises I am a good cook! That, I am really proud of. And I have loved finding recipes that I can adapt and cook to suit myself now. Funny, because I used to be a real stickler for the rules of a recipe, now I just omit unnecessary/bad things and add good things where I can. There is almost always a better way.

I feel like my outlook on my health and life has changed. Daily meditation has made me pretty mind-fit and I am more confident overall. I have started to take on board the importance of mindfulness in many things I do and will continue to do this. Thank you for your amazing support, Nat. This is my new lifestyle and I am embracing it. I am looking forward to even more healthy changes. I want to thank Nat, and this group, for giving me the tools and continuing to inspire me with your recipes, lols, and support”

TRANSFORMATION… “It's amazing to notice that just by following the program, some very simple rules, my life has changed.

I feel alive, no more lethargic me on the couch feeling sorry for myself and my family. The energy I gained is huge!! I have been able to live my life to the fullest with my kids while on holiday, jumping to any sport activities without a second thought (unless this is about paragliding lol) and I still remember that only a few months ago, I has absolutely zero energy to do anything.

I feel like a human again, being able to fall asleep and stay asleep for a great night rest, with no restless leg syndrome anymore. I just wished I had found you Nat about 10 years ago! I am so grateful for what you do Nat and Michael.”

TRANSFORMATION… “It has been a long journey with some battles won and some lost. Wins include many small and large lifestyle changes - I can't believe how hard it was for me to drink 2L/d at the start and now easy-peesy. I also love my daily morning exercise and feel really proud of how I do that each day and look forward to it - daily exercise is no longer a chore. I look the same other than the 15Kgs that I've lost (!) and It's a pleasure to be able to fit into many old clothes, in fact many are too large now (ha!). For the past 6 weeks I'd say I feel roughly the same as at the start, other than a key item - I can get up in the morning (some days are a struggle). 

My energy has been pretty up and down for me and continues to be so. I still struggle with overwhelm and the load and getting a good night sleep despite large lifestyle changes and new daily habits, but there is still a lot going on in life. My diet has certainly had a big and needed overhaul. Stress relieve and management wasn't really even on my radar before, whereas it is daily focus now with many tools and habits in place. I have learned that the little things add up over the months and years - be they good or bad and can have a big impact on my health. Both my partner and I look at health and well-being differently now. As Nat says....this is just the beginning”

After 56-days: Weight down by 10kg, Waist down by 4cm.

TRANSFORMATION… “What a difference this has made to my life.

I thought I was quite healthy and fit (I was compared to nearly all of my friends) but needed help to get rid of inflammation and bloating. After 6 months of support and guidance from Nat and Michael, I now realise how much I needed their help.

I’m so much more comfortable in myself. I receive many compliments on my appearance - skin and hair, weight and general appearance.

One of my goals was to be able to move freely so I could play with my granddaughter and dance with flexibility and without pain. I’ve achieved that and it feels so free to move and be flexible so I can participate as I wanted to. I used to look at the floor and fear how to get down there and how would I get back up? I used to stop in the middle of a dance at times and tell my partner that ‘I can’t do that move..it hurts’. Not anymore!

I’ve learned so much, particularly around stress management and general lifestyle changes. I’ve learned so much I could probably write a book.

I am ever so grateful for Nat’s strength and wisdom and Michael’s sensitivity and encouragement along with his wisdom too. I could not have done this on my own. I needed that push and accountability that I have received here”

After 56-days: Weight down by 8.5kg, Waist down by 6cm.
After 6-mths:Weight down by 11.5kg, Waist down by 14cm

TRANSFORMATION… “Before starting I struggled with lack of energy motivation, brain fog. I was also overweight but weight was not my priority. I frequently couldn't drive home from work (45mins) at the end of the without having to stop and nap since I struggled to keep alert and didn't feel safe, afternoon naps on my days off and no motivation whatsoever.  Physically I also struggled with back and joint pain and frequent headaches. I was on antidepressants and popping anti-inflammatories, Paracetamol, Codeine daily.

I haven't taken any pain or anti-inflammatory meds over the last 6 months and don't need them. My back and joint pain has gone. I used to have to sit down to put my shoes on but now can just bend and slip them on - no pain. Brain fog completely gone. In fact, I didn't really appreciate how much this affected me since it was 'my normal'. I no longer need afternoon naps and can drive at any time and feel safe. I have energy and motivation to get up in the morning. I have lost 17cm from around my waist and for the first time since I was in my 20’s have a waist. I have lost 10kgs and now are in a healthy weight range.

I have never been an organised person but Nat has helped so much in many areas of my life regarding planning ahead and being prepared - not just for meals. I will continue to follow the everything I have learned from here. Thank you Nat for teaching us how to live a healthy life.”

After 56-days: Weight down by 9.7kg, Waist down by 11cm.
After 6-mths: Weight down by 10kg, Waist down by 17cm

TRANSFORMATION… “Thank you!! What a learning curve about myself and my health this has been and CONTINUES to be.

My body is smaller as the inflammation around my body has reduced. I feel free, healthy, clean, lighter, balanced, spontaneous joy yet calmer and I have NO pain. In a lot of ways my life feels easier. I have changed my relationship with myself, I am important to me, I listen, scan and observe myself.

For me, one of the biggest lightbulbs is that my primal fight/flight response is normal, however I CAN shift myself from this to clarity and awareness through the Stress relief tools and using the Problem Solving Framework that I have been taught. The gift of shifting from emotion to logic has been huge and so empowering.

All The education around how our gut Microbiome, brain and nervous system are impacted by our lifestyle, environment, sleep health, foods and mindful actions continues to feed my fascination and improve my health.

Words don't cover what the program has opened in me. Thankyou so much Nat, Michael and Gut Health Circle members.”

After 56-days: Weight down by 10kg, Waist down by 8cm.
After 6-mths: Weight down by 11kg, Waist down by 12cm

TRANSFORMATION… “Time has really flown, I blinked and here I am. To compare some of the essentials pre-program and now, I have some things to share: I'm down by 16 kilos! The majority of this happened in the first 3 months.

High blood pressure: Shortly before the program and without medication I hit 190/128 (this is an impending heart attack or stroke, folks). My doctor ramped me up to using 2 medications a few weeks before the program started. Now I've settled in around 125/80 with a small dose of 1 medication remaining.

How I look? The most common comment I get from friends and co-workers is "you are just glowing now, how are you doing that??". Skin tone is more even, but most importantly how I feel is translating to my facial expressions and body language. I'm giving off a happy/content/pleasant vibe these days and that's huge!

How I feel? Golly. Things happen gradually so at times the changes don't seem like much, but when I really reflect on where I started it's significant. It's a total transformation in energy levels, attitude, mood, communication, sleep, and the list goes on. The biggest thing here for me is feelings of anxiety/uneasiness/irritability/worry are gone. I did not realize how much of my concentration was distracted by these things, now I can focus on what needs my attention and it is WONDERFUL. Both reflux and seasonal allergies have TOTALLY disappeared and that feels so great, these are things I expected to plague me for life.

Activities have changed a lot for me. I reached a point where I didn't want to leave the house, trying anything new was overwhelming, I'd never want to be active outdoors with friends because I couldn't keep up and would feel awful and embarrassed. Now I'm far more active, I'm paddle boarding, kayaking, biking, you-name-it, every weekend. And I look forward to doing these things, they aren't a chore!

My life has improved tremendously from doing the program. How I approach bumps in the road is totally different. How I communicate with my husband and family has changed for the better. I'm more calm, easier to be around, not on edge, generally a lot better person to spend time with. I understand how much control I have to create the best outcomes for me and not give a shit about what isn't important for me. I can let things go and it feels so good to do it.

I have a well-equipped toolbelt now to address whatever life throws at me: stress management strategies, food choices and planning, exercise, etc. I understand that prioritizing myself is the most important thing I can do, and when I'm in my best state I'm equipped to do the best things for others. The best for me is also the best for them. So simple!

Thank you so much to Nat and Michael and Gut Health Circle members who have supported and poked me through this journey. I hope to stick around as alumni, since I recognize this is really just the start of things and I have a lot more to learn. The Gut Health Circle is a wonderful way to stay connected and accountable.”

TRANSFORMATION… “I honestly can say that I have embarked on the best journey of my life! I never imagined, but now know that it is an ongoing journey; one that has altered my sense of what became my status quo and comfort zone; one that has made me cognisant of what I eat, think, say, and do; one that has raised my awareness of the interconnectedness of health, gut microbiome, lifestyle and psychology; and one that forever, has me sceptical (at the smallest print) of ingredients.

Intrinsically, I feel so proud of myself. I can feel the change in many aspects of my life. I know I am calmer, happier and more driven to make sure that I maintain and improve my health even further. I feel more confident, have improved clarity and haven’t taken pain medications for 6 months! Woo hoo! Love the alternatives to pain meds!

Externally, yes, compared to all those months ago, I am a smaller figment of myself.  I now have a new and improved body of which I’m still trying to get used to … ! Legit reason for clothes shopping this time!  

What I do love acknowledging though is the reduced inflammation and I can happily say that most of the time, there is none.  

I have noticed that my memory, clarity and energy is improving. Improved energy and conceptually, the idea of movement v exercise has been a welcome part of my lifestyle! 

The greatest knowledge gained has been in delving into the concepts of gut microbiome and lifestyle. Day by day, year in year out, I have not given much thought to gut health or lifestyle and certainly never realising their impact! Well, I certainly do now thanks to Nat and Michael. Creating a ME Plan and ensuring I follow it, all the while putting me FIRST, engaging in movement, eating healthier, calming the mind and body, resetting unhelpful thoughts and finding my inner happiness and peace has been transformative.”

TRANSFORMATION… “I’ve learned so much from about food, myself and priorities. I see a wonderful future with no reflux, no belching/burping after eating, no cravings, sleeping like a good baby waking refreshed, pulling up great with energy, having no hay fever and learning how to deal with fear, worry, uneasiness so it no longer consumes my life. Improvements for both myself and my family.

I feel fantastic ! I’ve lost 10kg’s and 43cm all over. I have not been able to lose weight and keep it off prior to this and I’m looking forward to continuing with my personal goals. I enjoy my meal planning and shopping for food with healthy ingredients.

Nat and Michael has so much to give and all I have to do is ask! I’ve learned that one hot day doesn’t make a summer. If you fail today you are not a failure. I’m kinder to myself, I love the clarity about me, my boundaries and what I can achieve and OMG the food is great. I can see what this change in lifestyle has done for my mood, stress levels, skin, sleeping patterns, emotional behaviour etc. Thank you to all of you for your inspiration. To the newbies .. you are in the best place to change your life. I’m happy.”

TRANSFORMATION… “Wow what a journey! I feel like I'm able to take the world on and my social live has improved (mainly because I'm now interested!), the change in my mental health has been enormous! I have started playing sport once again - something I haven't done for a few years now due to back pain. Recently I've had comments on how good my skin is looking and how good I'm looking in general.

I have lost 12kg - and my belt needing yet another hole added to it is referred to as 'skinny bitch' problems!! The program has taught me a lot - how to handle stress being the biggest one!

Thank you Nat for the knowledge and the occasional kick up the butt you have made it possible for me to look forward to the big 50 next year with excitement of what I can achieve and not with the dread of getting old.”

TRANSFORMATION… “First and foremost, a huge Thank You! Thank you for putting up with me and guiding me through the process. I have learnt so much and I am incredibly grateful for my journey and the positive changes I have made in my life. I have lost weight, I have grown my hair, I feel lighter and more comfortable in my body. I have learnt to cook healthy, DELICIOUS, and nutritious foods. I am now able to fully enjoy the activities I love the most.

I have developed a greater understanding of my body, mind and soul and I have learnt to listen when they speak to me. I have no cravings. I am able to identify the stressors when they come up and have learnt to deal with them in a healthy way. The quality of my sleep has improved significantly too and I am not ruminating over negativity as much, if at all. The program has simply given me the tools to re-calibrate a healthier balance in my life and, in general, I feel more relaxed and in control. Most importantly, I have learnt that all things are connected and there is no quick fix. I will need to carry the principles of what Nat taught me into my life forevermore to maintain a healthy way of life. I am excited to do this!”

TRANSFORMATION… “Wow when I signed up for this program I couldn't have possibly imagined what was in store. I knew I was on a journey to improve my health but I had no idea how intrinsically related my state of health was to all areas of my life. The results have exceeded my wildest dreams. I have the most amazing sense of calm throughout my days, I can notice stressors in my life before they cause me too much angst and implement strategies to minimise their impact on my wellbeing.

My skin has been a problem all my life and to be honest as my body was healing it did get a lot worse before I turned a corner. Now my skin in 90% eczema free and I have a glow I've never had before. For the first time in as long as I can remember I am comfortable and confident in my own skin and love not wearing make up. My chronic constipation is gone, my digestion is strong and healthy, my quality of sleep has improved but by far one of my biggest successes is the shift I've seen in my mental state.

From depressed, low, flat, unmotivated and anxious to calm, focused, happy and having a renewed sense of joy for everything in my life. I am over the moon to feel this way every day, to wake up looking forward to the day and having the drive, energy and enthusiasm to live my best life.

There are so many things in my life I now celebrate because I have learnt to put me and my health first. I am so grateful to you Nat for all you have done to support me in getting to this point and can't even imagine where I would be without the program. It has literally turned my life around and I can't wait to keep going from strength to strength as I continue nurturing my new state of wellbeing. Oh and… I am blown away when I saw by blood test results of TSH go from 12.4 (range 0.4-4) to 2.99!!!”

TRANSFORMATION… "I am pretty chuffed with my results. In total, I have lost 13kg and 10cm from my waist. The really positive changes have been that I no longer experience any pain (NO pain associated with tendonitis and NO crippling lower back spasms). This is big as I use to experience pain and aches everyday making it difficult to walk and move freely. Now that my pain has gone I have more energy to focus on my family. I feel that I can be more present with my kids/husband as I don’t have the pain pulling me from the present back into my own head (does this make sense to anybody??) I feel really in control of my eating at the moment which is a nice change as before the program I was ruled by sugar cravings and was a chronic emotional eater! If I can do it with 3 young kids, anyone can do this!! Thanks for keeping me on track, Nat”

I now never have to go on another fad diet or think about what to eat. I have zero cravings for chocolate or sweets. I FEEL in control of myself and proud to be putting myself first. My end goal of being able to maintain a healthy weight without struggling and dieting is achievable. My life has improved from doing the program, because I now realise I couldn’t keep going at the pace I was with everyone and everything, something had to give! What I have learnt from doing the program is my number one priority is my health and I now feel fully equipped to look after my health moving forward.

TRANSFORMATION… “I can't believe how far I have come in the last 6 months. I've lost 10kg and reached my goal weight I look and feel healthier then I think I ever have in my life. My energy levels have improved significantly, as I have more awareness of how my energy ebbs and flows, and am able to give myself what I need accordingly. I have gained awareness and knowledge and with that, confidence to make choices to prioritise my health and well-being, I no longer sacrifice this to please or fit in with others. Managing stress is still a work in progress, but I have come a long way from where I started. I started this journey to gain knowledge and awareness to make better choices to improve my health, I have gained this and so much more! For me, this is just the beginning of a healthy, balanced, more connected, joyous lifestyle. Thank you Nat and Michael not only for your guidance, support and encouragement throughout this journey, but also for developing this program in the first place, and guiding us all to better health, by example!”

TRANSFORMATION… “Firstly I would like to say a huge big thank you to you, without your guidance and support I would not have achieved the outcomes I have attained. I have reached all my goals and learnt so much more especially that this is not just about the food but lifestyle is so much more important to my health. I have lost the weight I wanted to lose, lost cms especially my waist and hips and I am in a healthy BMI range. My sleep is so much better and no longer have hot sweats. My rheumatoid arthritis is almost non existent with pain, swelling and stiffness only in a few fingers now which is just incredible and highlights again how the body can heal itself if we just give it what it really needs. My allergy skin reactions to my fur baby have just about gone so I can cuddle her more. I am calmer and now put my health first. I am ever so grateful to the Gut Health Circle members, you have asked the questions and posted stuff that I have learnt so much from, so thank you. I can go on forever but will end this now by saying again that I am so grateful to have found you Nat and look forward to where this will take me!"

TRANSFORMATION… "I have been vegetarian for nearly 25-yrs however cannot believe what I have achieved here.  I have lost over 40cm which is great as well as weight loss too. My gut microbiome is growing every single day too and also gets stronger all the time. I have learned more than I ever expected to. It’s not just the food - it’s a lifestyle and I have had lots more value out of this than I ever expected. I am so conscious now of other aspects eg my skin microbiome, oral microbiome etc. In terms of me - I feel more confident, more self assured and able to cope with all sorts of stuff much much better than before. I have lost weight, lost inches and unbelievably now seem to be getting some tone in my legs which is s shock! My skin is in much better condition and I feel in control of my life. I have lost 20cm from my waist, 9kg, have much better sleep. I love this programme - I will never go back to my previous way of life.  Nat coached me through some difficult moments and was with me every step of the way, her passion, dedication and commitment to this way of life is very inspiring and this is what sets this programme apart from others. Thank you so much Nat.”

— Female, 49. (2 children) W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… "I came across Nat’s website in 2015 and looked at it on and off over time … but at the end of 2020 I found myself nearly 10kgs heavier than at the start, I felt achy, bloated and decrepit having just turned 49. (Even after having a Gastric sleeve in 2008). I have long battled hypothyroidism and the battles had extended to reflux and feelings of fatigue and fogginess. So I made the call to Nat. I am so glad I did – here I am now and... aches have gone, reflux has all but disappeared (no more medication!), thyroid and related symptoms are under control. I’ve dropped 15.5kgs and a combined 69cms – and am in a normal BMI range (weight has been another battle for me). At the start I didn’t think it was possible for my waist to get to 80cms or less – but it did and I’m now classed as “low risk” from a health perspective! I’m ok about turning 50 in a few months. I’ve shifted from dreading this aging malarky which was getting me down in many ways to feeling enormously privileged to be getting old – and to have my health. I’m now equipped with new habits that have been anchored in and am hopeful for the future. Thank you so much Nat for your amazing program.”

Started with… Overweight, Lacking Energy, Poor Sleep…

— Female, 41. (3 children) W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “Simply put… You’re Awesome! Discovering Nat was one of the best discoveries of my life apart from my dry shampoo!  No really!! From the first information session about how my body actually uses food to fuel my body and how I was sabotaging my eating... to following through with Nat's program I have learned a lot about nutrition. I had put on around 10kg after my husband was diagnosed with brain cancer.  The shock of this experience led me down a path that I was not strong enough to control other terrible habits that became normal.  I wasn’t looking after myself, instead I concentrated all of my emotion and efforts into my husband's treatment and our 3 children’s well-being.  I didn’t sleep well and to be honest, thinking about looking after myself seemed like a ridiculous waste of time and energy.  However, my weight increased my sleep was not at all beneficial and I grabbed the easiest meals I could find - comfort food and wine.  It goes without saying that I was an emotional disaster.

I had no idea how much Nat’s program was going to repair the damage I had caused.  I had so many “aha” moments during the information session!  I threw myself into the program without looking back.  It was time for me to get back on track and as they say: “I’m no good to my family if I’m no good!”  Or something like that.  I realized that I needed to concentrate on myself a bit to be able to manage my family no matter what happened next in our family.

I loved the fact that I could eat as much as I wanted!  I think that appealed to me the most.  I don’t like being told that I can’t have more when something is tasty.  And, the food is SO tasty. And 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. I started to feel the benefits within the first week.  Yes, there are tough moments, but as soon as I had a work friend not recognize me from behind (WTF) I knew I was doing well.  I’ve lost nearly 8kg!! The weight dropped off. I now feel empowered about my choices. I would tell anyone who struggles with weight, energy or even just poor diet just how much you Nat has motivated me and how anyone could do the same.”

Started with… Overweight, Hashimoto’s, Hypertension, Fatigue, Arthritis…

— Female, 74. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… "At 74-yrs old I thought my health was pretty good for someone my age. It seems everyone around me has some sort of health problem so I started to think that my Hypothyroidism, high blood pressure, arthritis in my feet, knees and hands, being overweight and having constant digestion and bowel problems was the norm. I have tried diets but found them very hard to stick to. So, when I heard that Natalie's protocol was NOT a diet I thought I'd give it a try as I really didn't have anything to lose.  

I am delighted with the weight I’ve lost but more delighted with how much better I feel, increased energy, clear complexion, whole body feels better so aching joints etc. gone too. I have no cravings for bread or sugar and love eating like this. My gut feels more settled and predictable. I am very happy with the results and have no desire to go back to my old ways!"

Started with…Fibromyalgia, Hashimoto’s, Chronic Fatigue, Migraines, Waist-line weight, Overweight…

— Female, 40. (4 children) Texas, USA

TRANSFORMATION… "I am feeling SO good!! I just have this feeling of peace and calm and happiness. I didn’t know what it was like to wake up refreshed and energetic. I have felt unwell since at least high school. To wake up ready to go and face the day, able to accomplish all I need to most days without exhaustion, pain, and brain fog, is just like a miracle. To not be constantly craving certain foods (particularly sweets!) is something I never thought could happen. I don’t feel constantly overwhelmed by daily life, and when I do start to feel that way, or stressed in any way—I know how to deal with it quickly, so it doesn’t affect me like it used to. I am so thankful for finding this program (thank you, Corinne, for featuring Nat on your podcast and helping others to find her!) and the life-changing effect it’s had on me and my family."

Started with Hypothyroidism, Overweight, Bad digestion, Constipation, Tired/Lethargic…

— Female, 40. (3 children) W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… "I had some pretty big goals when starting out with Natalie… to give my body the chance to heal itself from Hypothyroid, have TSH will within normal levels and have antibodies reduced significantly, to have an abundance of energy, sleep well, lose weight, improve digestion and be back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I have enjoyed a newfound calmness; energy levels went from consistently low to very good and even throughout the day. From disrupted sleep to sleeping quite deeply, and 15.5kg down and back to my pre-pregnancy weight with eating the most delicious food ever (cannelloni sent me to heaven) and never ever feeling hungry! I love how easy and predictable my bowel movements are now and really happy about all the digestive processes. It is so nice to feel lighter, healthier and stronger, to have clothes fitting again, to have people tell me how my skin is glowing and I'm sooooo pumped! Got called back to my GP today to discuss my blood test results which revealed that my TSH went from 10.82 (normal range is 0.4-4.0) TSH tested 5.9! Still a bit high but that's a huge drop for me! On meds previously I never came that low. My free T3 was 3.3 (normal range was set at the time 3.5-6.5, has changed on the new form to 3.0-5.5) and now is in normal range now of 3.8. I'm so grateful to you Nat, I feel so positive that with all the amazing support from you and the knowledge you share(d). Excited to see what the future brings”

Started with… Chronic Fatigue, High Cholesterol, Reduced Memory/Concentration…

— Male, 55. (2 Adult Children) W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “Wow, what a journey. In the last couple of weeks I have seen a few people who I haven't seen for a while and they have commented on how good I look, which is great. I now enjoy cooking (I would have bet money that this would never happen), yoga, meditation (WTF), time with friends and I can stay up later when socialising without it being a chore.

The program has certainly opened my eyes to what healthy is. I used to think I was pretty healthy but now realise I wasn't. The biggest changes to my life are that I used to be able to do things until noon, then the rest of my days were essentially a write-off. Now I am productive all day and spend my evenings cooking, which is great. But the biggest change is me looking at life, me and my health differently. I used to wear as a badge of honour how hard I worked at my job and building wealth, how productive I was, that I was an emotional flatliner (didn't have time and energy for this) and how hard I could push myself. And 30 years of chronic fatigue didn't open my eyes to the fact that my health was the most important thing in my life. I have now turned things on their head and put my health, cooking, enjoying life and relaxing at the top of my priorities and I am enjoying the fruits of my labour. I still have a way to go but I am well on my way on this journey.”

Started with… Severe IBS, Constipation, Tired/Lethargic, Bulimia, Reflux (GERD)…

— Female, 26. San Francisco, USA

TRANSFORMATION… “When I started this journey, I suffered from IBS for 2+ years. I was constantly sluggish, bloated, irritable, and just didn’t feel like myself. It was really difficult to eat anything without feeling terrible afterwards and I would often go days or sometimes over a week without passing a BM. Within a few weeks of following the program, I reversed nearly all of these symptoms. Now, over 2 months later, I wake up hungry and energized most mornings. I eat normal meals and look forward to eating. Best of all, I have a normal BM every day. I’ve been able to eat quantities of food I never thought my stomach would be able to handle. I still sometimes struggle with feeling hungry when I wake up or throughout the day, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed learning to listen to my body and make daily or weekly adjustments based on how I’m feeling. I now feel like I have the tools to deal with difficult situations when they arise, rather than just feeling terrible and not knowing how to fix it. Thank you for all of your support!”

Started with… Years of Yo-Yo Dieting, Anxiety, Overweight, Iron deficiency…

— Female, 25. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “How wonderful it has been enjoying super delicious food and not worrying about ‘dieting’. My energy is consistent throughout day and I am far less irritable and with a much better mood. No more cravings for sugar or carbs and I don’t rely on coffee any more to stay regular. Period has significantly reduced in length and heaviness, I am sleeping well and my skin looks a lot more bright.  I got my iron checked this week just to see where I am at. And I got good results! I am so grateful because by doing this I have repaired my gut, my period has reduced sooo much and as a result of these things my iron is now stable! Thank you x"

Started with… Obesity (life long battle), Fertility issues, Depression, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Low Iron…

— Female 35. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “ I'm pregnant!!! I look and feel sooo much better than when I started. Better mood, easier to move around, sometimes even my skin is better. I have the energy to come home from work and walk the dog, cook a meal and even do some housework (where as before I would just sit on the couch until bed time most work days).

I have the motivation to complete some of the many tasks I have started over the years, which makes for less overwhelm and stress. My life has changed in so many ways, no more antidepressants, feeling joy and confidence again, being more comfortable in my body. Not to mention all I have learned about healthy eating and how good it can taste. I feel I'm ready to continue these changes for life to maintain this level of health and wellbeing armed with all I have learned on this journey.”

Started with… High Cholesterol, Digestive Issues…

— Female 63. (2 Adult Children) Warwickshire, United Kingdom

TRANSFORMATION… “I have just had my cholesterol blood test results and the result is…“All good and no need for medication”. Yay. Prior my tests indicated I had very high levels, 8.5, and was put on statins immediately. After 2 years on statins and feeling full of aches, pains and stiffness I stopped taking them a year ago. I started the program nearly 1 year ago and can honestly say it works. I can’t guarantee I’m not going off piste (over the reservation) ever again but I know the effects if I do and have the skills to bring it back. I know Nat, that you will say I did done all the hard work to achieve this state of well-being but without your initial groundwork and support I wouldn’t be where I am today. I’m eternally grateful to you, Natalie, as is my husband who is also on board. And I love the Gut Health Circle, although I’m 10,000 miles away from you, in the UK. I feel connected and supported.”

Started with… Overweight, Lethargy, High Cholesterol, Digestive Issues, Aches and Pains…

— Female, 47. (4 children) W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “With a busy life, 4 kids and working this has been SO easy, a life-changer. Where to start?? Ok, here goes – 14kg down, Waist measurement from 97cm to 80cm, Total Cholesterol has gone from 6.5 to 4.3 and Triglycerides are down to an acceptable level, no gas, bloating, feeling really energetic, waking up feeling alert and alive and ready to face the day, aches and pains have reduced by 80% and if I have soreness, its usually because I have been at work and hunched over a computer for too long. So basically the program has changed my life. I feel like I am in charge now and I won’t ever let myself treat myself and my body with anything but respect. I cannot believe that all the things that defined me before, big drinker, sweet tooth etc, are not even on the radar anymore. I feel normal again”
