The TRANSFORMATION
waiting for YOU

Read below… the conditions our participants started with, and what they achieved.
Our participants share with us HOW they look and feel along their journey, and then again, after 6-mths
to demonstrate that the GRP is not a quick fix, and that by consistently implementing their GRP tool-kit… their health gets better and better!

We make no claims about how the GRP will work for you… However, these results are based on participants consistently implementing all the Food and Lifestyle elements of the GRP and liaising with practitioners

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 the GRP: 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 GRP 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 GRP’ers 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 through the GRP. 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… “It has been a winding road, but with some great discoveries along the way. I feel really good both physically and psychologically. I can move with greater ease and I am thinking much clearer. And if things don’t go well, I feel that know exactly why. I have enjoyed playing around with different habits to see what sticks quickly and what falls away if not attended. 

It has given me a lot of insight into myself and more empathy for others who are struggling with all kinds of things. I feel it has changed my friends and family too. They expect different things from me now. Aside from the obvious food choices, I think they are happy talking to me knowing that I am no longer distracted, foggy and psychologically stressed. Our conversations have changed. I can see others checking themselves at times - saying no to junk food or resolving to be healthier themselves”

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 the GRP”

TRANSFORMATION… “Wow I look back to where I was and I am so pleased with my achievements. I feel good in my clothes and like the image that is in the mirror. I can go out walking in public with confidence.

I am sleeping through the night not constantly waking and feel fresh and energised in the mornings. I haven’t experienced the afternoon brain fog that I frequently had for several months now. I can hold an intelligent conversation in the evenings or even read a book without falling asleep in the chair or at the dinner table in the evening or when we go out to a friend’s house or to a restaurant.

My stress and frustration levels are so much better and I am getting a lot better at switching off and just letting things happen. One of the most exciting things is that I can now eat mushrooms for the first time in over 20 years. I love how my gut, my mind and my body has changed. Now the challenge is to keep it like that and continue to prioritise myself and my health because I really like how I feel. Thanks Nat, Michael and fellow GRPers for your support and encouragement”

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 .

Started with… Overweight, High Blood Pressure, Low Energy, Acid Reflux, Poor sleep, Allergies…

— Male, 40. Washington State, USA.

 

TRANSFORMATION… “I'm down by 16 kilos! The majority of this happened in 12-wks. Before working with Nat I had BP of 190/128 (this is an impending heart attack or stroke, folks) and now I've settled in around 125/80.

The most common comment I get from friends and co-workers is "you are just glowing now, how are you doing that??". 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!

I have had a total transformation in energy levels, attitude, mood, communication, sleep, and the list goes on. Feelings of anxiety, uneasiness, irritability and 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 acid reflux and seasonal allergies have totally disappeared and that feels so great, these are things I expected to plague me for life. 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 working with Nat. 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”

TRANSFORMATION… “I no longer suffer from bloating, and my stomach no longer hurts. I use to go to bed with a hot water bottle on my stomach every night and haven't done that since starting, which is amazing! I've definitely noticed I have so much more energy and no longer feel sluggish around the 1-2pm time that I used to before. Another thing I've notice is my gums no longer bleed when I brush my teeth, bonus!  

I am doing more things as I have much more energy now and generally feeling much better. I'm definitely feeling a lot more comfortable in my own skin and have been able to wear clothes that I haven't worn for a very long time. I feel more comfortable participating in sports now and also feel much fitter. 

I feel better in myself so therefore feeling more confident in the activities that I do.  Overall, I'm feeling so much better, my mind is clearer and I'm loving the food”

— Female, 37 W.A. Australia

 

TRANSFORMATION… “The GRP 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 GRP 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… “I can't begin to say how thankful I am that I was referred to the GRP by a friend. I feel so different physically and mentally. Physically I have so much more energy, I am able to spend a whole day gardening now. After work I don't just feel like crashing on the couch, I feel motivated to walk and to cook. I love this way of cooking and eating.

My mood has improved and I feel more confident, I have a new role at work and I have had to learn a lot of new processes and I have been really pleased that it hasn't been a struggle and I am enjoying the challenge. I feel like I have taken control back of my life and I am doing things for me that prioritise my health. I think this is a behaviour that will need continued nurturing to become really embedded, the GRP has shown me how to do that and I will be forever grateful to Natalie and Michael for holding me accountable and making me really look at what was going on... even when I didn't really want to”

TRANSFORMATION… “It's amazing to notice that just by following the GRP, 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.”

— Female, 52 (3 Adult children) W.A. Australia

 

TRANSORMATION… “Six months ago I began this journey 22kgs heavier, lacking in energy and motivation, stress and anxiety getting me down, major brain fog thanks to menopause and an under functioning thyroid. What a mess I was, I will be forever thankful to my friend for motivating me with her amazing health transformation. This was the first decision of many to put ME first, to prioritise my health and it was absolutely worth it.

I remember a point earlier on where I actually started to truly believe that the changes were going to happen, that I could get my life back, until this point I believe I was only hopeful (in hindsight). I no longer experience extreme tiredness and fatigue, I can walk and climb my way around the Mundy National Park with my husband and really have fun, I feel sooo much lighter (without carrying a small 20kg child on my back). I have stressors come into my life and I have strategies to help prevent and manage them so they don’t consume me, though I do recognise that this an ongoing work in progress.

As for the brain fog, this was one of my early goals to be able to think more clearly. Well I'm happy to report that I no longer feel like I'm walking around in a vague, hazy state. I'm able to concentrate, focus and actually problem solve (whoooaaa). My confidence at work has increased as I feel so much more present now. I'm able to participate more fully in discussions and put forward ideas and suggestions, this makes me feel so much more like a valued member of the team, its a really great feeling.

I could just keep going here, I have sooo many positives to report but I wont, I want to finish by saying a massive thank you Nat and Michael for all of your patience and support through all my many ups and downs over the last 6 months. I really can't put into words how much this experience has meant to me. I have so much that I want to do and thanks to you both I now have the good health to go out do them.”

— Female, 46 W.A. Australia

 

TRANSFORMATION… “The GRP 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”

TRANSFORMATION… “I will be forever grateful that I found the GRP and have had the benefit of Nat and Michael’s extensive knowledge. Joining the GRP was one of my best life decisions and I wished that I had found it sooner. This has been the most positive life changing experience for me and I have learnt so much about myself and learnt skills enabling me to live my best life.

The combination of good nutrition, stress management, Digestive Dominoes, regular exercise, enjoying restorative undisturbed sleep, adequate hydration, eliminating toxic products has resulted in me feeling so much healthier and happier. As an added bonus I’ve also improved my technical skills!

I came to the GRP wanting to rid myself of constant headaches, feel more comfortable in my clothes and have more energy and I have achieved all of this and so much more.

I hope that all of you, in the GRP, get as much out of this program as I have and thank you Nat, Michael and all community for your positivity, good advice and humour. I have thoroughly enjoyed my journey with you all and look forward to continued growth”

TRANSFORMATION… “What a difference the GRP 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”

TRANSFORMATION… “I will be forever grateful that I found the Nat and for all the support that has been provided. The Practitioners have been so generous with their time and support. The way they live and breathe the messages of health made it so accessible and possible for me to realise this was something that I wanted to do. And it has become something so much more than something I wanted to try to improve my health. It is my way of life now.

Prior to joining I was overweight. I had a long a varied dieting history… Weights Watchers, Paleo, Vegetarian, Keto and more. I have had a sleeve gastrectomy in 2015 but after experiencing lots of minor ailments and weight gain again it added up to a big problem. I have now lost 10kg, 10cm off my waist and have so much gratitude for this awareness and having learnt to put myself first or I cant truly help others.

I have loved the focus on lifestyle and feel like it has expanded my life. I am feeling more positive that the healthier habits I am developing are something that will stay past this intensive time and support that I am receiving. I am continually reminding myself that this isn't one of those 'fitness challenges' I have done in the past, and there is no end point on creating and maintaining my health. I want to give everyone a big virtual hug, the Virtual Clinic is instrumental to the success of the GRP.”

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 the GRP 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.”

TRANSFORMATION… “I came to see Nat six months ago feeling hopeless, experiencing severe body pain all the time, one diagnosis after another landing on fibromyalgia. I was constantly ON! Living in a high cortisol driven world, took on the responsibility to be there and do everything for everyone - especially in my workplace. Juggling the pressure of trying to wear too many hats to please too many people! …..what I received in return was many accolades of hard work. But really it was burn out!

I came to the GRP wanting to heal my gut health from a long-standing Helicobacter. Little did I know what I was really signing up for. And that is what brings me most joy and gratitude.

I have learned so much about how to truly care for myself, feeding my body with amazing nutritional food, yet feeding my mind with so much more. I have learned to pause, to breathe (deeply and often) to be an observer and not a constant fixer and doer! I have embraced the stress management and implemented strategies that have changed the way I navigate this world! The knowledge I have gained is phenomenal, I use terms like parasympathetic nervous system in general conversations now I understand rest and digest.

I shed a few tears when going through my Personal Health Assessment reading back on the life I was living. This program has not only helped me, my family has benefited beyond measure too. We are all eating well, communicating well and our future is bright. My heart is full, I am happy!

From the uptight, stressed, people pleasing, lost woman who walked into our first meeting. I am walking away armed with confidence, knowledge and empowerment. I have the upmost gratitude for you Nat and Michael, for supporting me through this journey. Thank you to you both and the whole team for the part you have all played in my wellbeing.”

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 GRP has opened in me. Thankyou so much Nat, Michael and GRP’ers”

— Female, 51. (2 Adult Children) W.A. Australia

 

TRANSFORMATION… “I started this journey looking to lose weight for my daughters wedding. I had struggled with my weight, pain, mental health and self care for many years. Diets, exercise, intermittent attention to yoga or meditation, intermittent true focus on overcoming my PTSD and giving to others at the cost of ME. Quick fixes with short term benefits!

When I first spoke to Nat about the GRP I didn't know what I was in for but I wanted to know more. What I got was a true wrap around program focused on all aspects on my health and well-being. What I started for weight loss gave me sooo much more.

I have achieved amazing things while the world has piled it on. I have moved house, had my daughters wedding, and Christmas, and started a new job while doing the GRP.

Physically - I have lost 19kgs. I am smaller than I have been for 13 yrs (and that was stress related). I am pretty much pain free. I have not taken pain killers for 7 months. I no longer feel bloated and uncomfortable every day. I can move. I am awake. I have energy.

Mentally - I have clarity of mind, I can think and plan. I have reduced my medications successfully and will continue to. I have awareness of what's going on around me and how my body is reacting and I can do something about it early. I have focus. I am happy to just sit. I have calm, even inside turmoil around me. I feel great. I love that I am my priority. Thank you”

TRANSFORMATION… “Time has really flown, I blinked and here I am. To compare some of the essentials pre-GRP 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 GRP 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 GRP 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 GRP. 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 GRP’ers 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 and this Virtual Clinic is a wonderful way to stay connected and accountable.”

TRANSFORMATION… “ I look back at my Personal Health Assessment and think who even is that person? I was full of ill health, hormone issues, inflammation galore and I just seemed sad.

How do I feel Now? Frigging amazing! I had aimed to loose 10kg and lost 8 - but I don't even care. I though I wasn't stressed - but I most definitely was and now my MAIN focus is stress management. I though Yoga was boring and for hippies and oldies - I now LOVE it and am pretty sure I fit in both categories. I have learnt to forget everything I thought I knew and open myself to learning everything I didn't.

I have all the tools to continue this journey and I certainly will. I now know to recognise when things are not right and listen to my body's message.

Thank you, Nat - you are not just a life changer, you are a life saver and I will be forever grateful to you for choosing me. As much as I joked about sending in a hitman, I have always trusted your advice and this whole process to the fullest.”

— Female, 50. (2 Adult Children) W.A. Australia

 

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.”

— Non-Binary, 30. W.A. Australia

 

TRANSFORMATION… “I started out this journey looking and feeling like I was already past my upcoming three-oh, but now I feel like I still have a couple of years to go AND have had colleagues be surprised as all hell when they say my 30's is so close I can feel the drums of war.

Previous to starting, I'd have aches, cramps, sore areas, sleeplessness (or terrible snoring, along with severe emotional dips with no real up lift. Now I am feeling more upbeat, ache free and sleep like a baby. I have felt the occasional feelings of overwhelming stress or worry due to work of late, but I felt like before the GRP I could not have handled that and would have likely caved in. I have since learnt to not only reach out for help when I know I need it, but now have the confidence and the self-willingness to take action where needed to fix these feelings and move on happier.

I have definitely learnt to me more organised with GRP, but I have also learnt to be kinder, more patient, and more uplifting to myself. I would have NOT been able to make it were it not for my own boot up my rear, support from the partner, and other GRP’ers here to get ideas or moral boosts from.

I am definitely more equipped now to handle myself going forward. I am keen as a bean to keep on with this new life. that's for sure.”

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… “It feels great to be shopping in my own wardrobe and wearing things I haven't worn in years as well as buying new. I went bra shopping and came out with two new bras and no tears for the first time ever. I cannot tell you how distressing bra shopping has been for me in the past so this felt like a minor miracle!

I feel really happy with my body and not feeling like I need to hide it. I'm not getting overwhelmed by planning like I used to. My life has improved as I'm no longer spending 40mins a day on the toilet. I'm no longer avoiding foods that I love thinking they were giving me IBS (hello mushrooms, onions, garlic, apples and cauliflower... well ok I don't love cauliflower but I eat it with no ill effects).

I no longer have overwhelming cravings for sweet, fatty and salty foods. I've learned it's not the food, it's stress, and am unlearning patterns I learned from early age. Nat your straight-forward, no nonsense yet kind approach is what I needed and had been looking for. It's not always been comfortable but I've learned a lot. Thank you!”

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 GRP 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… “My brain fog has disappeared and I seem to complete tasks effectively again both at home and work. I have a little pep in my step and a have a newfound zest for learning. I have learnt to be calmer and slow down and literally smell the roses. I have leant to communicate with people and have awkward conversations so that I can deal with things as they crop up and then let them go. I look less bloated all over and I have a new glow in my facial skin. People have been saying for a while now that I am glowing. I actually haven't heard that for years. I have become less invisible. What I mean by that is when you reach a certain age people don't notice you anymore. No-one even looks at you. My Mum and I have joked and laughed about this phenomenon for years. I am in a great position to tackle my 50's head on and be healthy and strong.”

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 GRP 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 the GRP with me into my life forevermore to maintain a healthy way of life. I am excited to do this!.”

— Female, 52. (5 Adult Children) W.A. Australia

 

TRANSFORMATION… “I am feeling amazed enlightened and proud of what I have managed to do with guidance from Nat and Michael. I came into this expecting that I might change my eating but not realizing that the eating part was only a small part of the whole picture. In fact for me the strategies around separating stress and eating has been far more revealing and effective than I thought likely.

I have loved learning to cook in a different way having been a good cook for a while I really enjoyed the plant based cooking I have learned to do. I love evening yoga and I am soooo much better at keeping hydrated. I have practiced healthy boundaries with others and in committing to this program I have reminded myself that I am worthy of time and effort.

I feel very protective of my inner microbiome garden now and do want to continue to feed and water it well. I love that I have lost all the kilos I wanted to lose, but to be honest I am actually happier that I sleep well and that I have no hayfever and no headaches. I feel lighter and much brighter. Sometimes I still experience stressful days but my mood copes much better with them now than it did a year ago. Thanks so much Nat for being so consistent in your approach and for putting together such a comprehensive program. I feel very lucky and very grateful to have been directed towards your program. I will continue to honour the lovely microbiome garden you have taught me to grow. Thanks to my family and all the GRP’ers who have supported me!”

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 GRP. 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 GRP 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”

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.

TRANSFORMATION… “I am so incredibly happy with how far I have come with my health… from having significantly low energy, experiencing frequent bouts of stress and low moods, as well as carrying extra weight that I was unhappy with, I am now feeling more vibrant and healthier than ever!  I was really focused on losing weight and the food aspect of the program and while I am happy (of course) with 16cm off my waist & 10kg down and now feeling and looking amazing. I always thought it was the food but Nat taught me, through the Lifestyle prescription, that it was all the lifestyle elements that actually transformed my life!  I feel more equipped to manage my stress and implement strategies to alleviate and prevent chronic conditions that I previously experienced - such as the lower abdominal pain. From having consistent back and joint pain to nothing now is amazing. I am so grateful for everyone that has been in the group who has supported me to get me to where I am now with my health, but especially to Nat for all of her guidance – and blatant honesty throughout this journey. You have been incredibly insightful and helped to understand that it is absolutely NOT just the food that I needed to address in my life, but all the other lifestyle factors that were impacting my health. I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve taught me. This GRP has changed my health and wellbeing and my relationship with food, something that I struggled with during my teen years.

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 GRP’ers, 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… “Wow!! First of all, I’m so thankful to you, Nat. You’re amazing. Every goal I came here for has been achieved. Tick, tick and tick. You helped me each and every step of the way. No matter if it was weekends or public holidays you still answered and helped me through. I can’t imagine the amount of effort and hard work that’s gone into GRP! I achieved all my goals but got more than I ever thought I would. I am learning to embrace calm. To ‘drop the rope’, let go, feel it slip gently out of my hand and breathe deeply into any knots forming in my chest. Then enjoying the feeling of those knots disappearing. For years I thought I had IBS, gluten intolerance or maybe FODMAPs, but I had a sick microbiome. Not any longer. The food. I have enjoyed so many different foods and love the recipes! I feel I have a whole lot of new friends here in GRP. You’ve also helped me through these last few months to make those changes that were needed! I’m strong, healthy and happy which is pretty cool when you’re 60!"

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.

— 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… Night sweats, Overweight, Chronic Dermatitis, Itchy skin, Lower back pain…

— Female, 49. (2 Adult Children) W.A. Australia

 

TRANSFORMATION… "Working with Nat has changed my life. I had had chronic hives, urticaria, on and off for 17 years. Sleep was terrible due to itching. Couldn’t wear what I wanted and had blood stained clothes, sheets and pillowcases. I had night sweats every night and no energy. I went on multiple diets, tried various ‘diet’ food delivery services and so much more, but my weight yo-yo'd. sleep was terrible (needed meds) regularly, had anxiety and was prescribed an antidepressant. Cholesterol was high at 8.4. and doctor suggested strongly that I went on statins...that was the line for me. I was hopeful that Nat could be the professional that I had been seeking and badly needing. I haven’t looked back...not even for a second! I have felt heard, supported, educated, and nourished from the moment I first looked at Nat's website.

My health has completely turned around! My skin has been a tough one to manage, but I can honestly say my body is now glowing and I now have the tools to implement to achieve the goal of no urticaria! My cholesterol has dropped significantly with no need for medications. Back to a healthy waist measurement of 79cm and weight down 8.8kg. I feel calm and in control. Night sweats gone. No sleeping pills and I’ve gone to a new level of sleep and it’s sublime. Love the progress of NO blood stained sheets (and clothes) and also not having to cover up unsightly scratched rashes. With Mood and Stress I am going from strength to strength. I turned 50 in January and am in the best shape I have been in in years...and I know I'm only going to improve on the inside and the outside. And lastly, I am grateful that I have learned how to live a healthier way to be able to influence my household too, a huge plus. Thank you.”

TRANSFORMATION… “I cannot tell you how much better you made me feel!! I’ve spent so many years living a roller coaster of fear of food, eating far too much - NOW new beginnings are coming my way. I have lost 22kg, but more than that it is all the other health benefits. Before I started, I suffered from high levels of anxiety, now I feel so much calmer and clearer in my head. No hot flushes, fluid in legs and ankles gone, sleeping well, post-nasal drip gone. Also I haven’t had to take any pain medication since starting the GRP is a miracle. 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. I did all of this with full-time work and travelling every 2-wks for work, proving anyone can do this if they really want to change".

Started with… Overweight, Lacking Energy, Poor Sleep…

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

 

TRANSFORMATION… “Simply put… You’re Awesome! Discovering Nat’s GRP 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 GRP... 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 GRP was going to repair the damage I had caused.  I had so many “aha” moments during the information session!  I threw myself into the GRP 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 from the GRP!  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.”

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

 

TRANSFORMATION… "I had forgotten how good it feels to jump out of bed full of energy with no aches and pains - wearing proper clothes rather than baggy joggers and sweat tops because everything else was so uncomfortable. Also no sore/rawness in tummy, no bloating and gas. Temper and mood significantly improved. I'm delighted to feel like a normal human being - shame I had to wait so long to find the cure. And I wanted to share with others that this brilliant GRP makes it so easy because you don't have to think of recipes and you know you are getting balanced nutrition in the right quantities at the right stages. Food is delicious too so it makes it so much more pleasant! How brilliant is it to never feel hungry never feel bloated or stuffed and never feel cravings for crisps, chocolate or beer!!! 18cm off my waist, over 8kg down... And one more thing... Supplement queen to supplement clean - goodbye old crutches! No longer required thank you! $1000's of dollars wasted over the years.”

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!"

I feel and look more vibrant, my skin looks less lined and eyes are brighter, dark circles are less obvious. I am maintaining my ideal weight whilst eating delicious food and am really enjoying a more gentle and relaxed exercise programme without having to og myself at the gym. My big toe used to ache daily and now it is only occasionally. I am supercharged with knowledge and resources to continue the journey.

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."

Now, Wow – totally different – I am off ALL pain medication. I never would have imagined that going through this food journey with the GRP and healing my gut would have healed me physically, mentally and made me a much stronger person too! Thank you for creating a truly amazing program! I have learned heaps and continue to do so. I will forever be grateful, with heartfelt appreciation and much love!”

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”

TRANSFORMATION… “I’ve lost more weight than I even thought possible. I am to around where I was when I got married 39 years ago. Best of all, not one person says I look too thin which would have happened if I’d dieted. I sleep like a “good baby” in Nat’s words. I have no aches and pains, taken not one tablet. Stopped my HRT completely so actually take no medication at all. For anything. I’ve learnt so much about my body and how it works and what triggers reactions. I love the lifestyle elements and love the food. All in all, thank you so much Nat, for putting the GRP together, being here for us and also holding us to account. You are a total legend and have changed my life , through my health.”

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 GRP 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.”

TRANSFORMATION… "When I started I felt really sluggish, and just like a blow fish, my pants were so tight, my waist line had red whip like marks from my clothes being too tight. Now my clothes fit just nice, not loose, but not squeezy tight! I feel so much better, just moving around I notice how light I feel like I'm walking and talking faster, just more energetic and more interested in things.

No more bloating, burping, etc, etc.  I always felt full and sick and would still eat more and more and feel sick, but don't have that yukky feeling anymore. 7kg down, overall 15cm down in body measurements, I haven't achieved the results above in such a short space of time ever!  My hair looks thicker and nails are stronger and my skin is so much better and has cleared. But the best news is that my Eye Floaters have improved so much, this makes me so happy, beyond words. I’m impressed by the results. Thanks Natalie x"

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 GRP, 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!”

TRANSFORMATION… “I can’t even tell you how my life has changed!!! While I’ve had some setbacks I’ve also had some amazing results all the way through. I have ZERO heartburn (!!!) and stopped taking my PPI and haven’t looked back and I’m able to digest/tolerate many foods now that I couldn’t before. I can finally feel my good gut flora starting to celebrate!!  I’ve stopped obsessing over weight loss and focused more on how I feel a healthy gut will maintain a healthy weight. In relation to skin… I swear by all that is holy that I’ve seen wrinkles actually disappear!!! The lines between my brows are gone (no more Botox needed!!) and the lines around my mouth have diminished; I feel like Benjamin button. My energy levels have multiplied - I feel like I’m on the best kind of high imaginable, a little energizer bunny who is focused and motivated and getting things done. I’ve come off my hormone replacement and all my symptoms I’ve had for the last few years are gone! Brain fog, bloating, mood swings, fatigue.... I’m just blown away. I went to my GP and did blood tests and my iron is much better now than it has been previously on daily 100mg iron supps, now on nothing, so this is a huge win!! I still can’t believe it. I wasn’t sure how much the GRP could help me, I felt I’d tried it all. I feel amazing and absolutely love the food I’m eating.  Thank you Nat for this GRP, all your research, and all your support. I feel so positive on my journey now and can feel the difference in every aspect of my life”

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 GRP 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"

TRANSORMATION… “I found out about Natalie after doing a lot of research and listening to a lot of podcasts about health. I have struggled with anxiety for quite a few years now, I also feel and look tired most of the time. I don’t like the idea of being controlled by pathogenic bacteria and I love the idea of feeling energised and present, so that is why I am here.

After 28-Days… My energy is pretty good, I’ve been getting up at 5am to do yoga which has been good. I don’t yawn all day. I’ve had some melt downs but I feel good now, I am calmer and I haven’t found myself obsessing over anything too much. I haven’t had any anxiety. I have been falling asleep quickly and easily and I mostly sleep through the night now, occasionally getting up for 1 wee. My knee hasn’t played up and I have no pain or stiffness.

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… Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Anxiety, Digestive issues, Reflux (GERD) and Hormonal Issues…

— Female, 24. W.A. Australia

 

TRANSFORMATION… “My main goal was to kick my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and other ailments associated with CFS. I used to struggle to complete daily tasks including showering, cleaning and going to the shops, all that jazz. Even having to leave full time work due to the condition. I lived in a constant state of ‘brain fog’ and could never be fully present socially or at work due to the extreme exhaustion. Here I am and I have a ‘huge’ increase in energy and can get through 4 out of 5 days working a full-time job. An equally important goal for me was fixing my mood and extreme anxiety. I had extreme social anxiety and avoided social situations or gatherings. This anxiety plagued my daily life. Now I’m more comfortable in social situations, I didn’t realize food could change something like that but it’s amazing! Another goal of mine was to get rid of my body and facial acne and pigmentation. I have been plagued with acne for over 10 years now and have spend thousands upon thousands of dollars in treatments, medications etc to x acne. Here I am and I’m pretty much acne free, I don’t have any on my body or face right now. My acne was pretty hormonal, now I don’t get these spikes or huge cysts.

And finally I wanted to combat PMS and digestive issues. Irregular cycles, heavy ow, terrible pain and headaches, nausea that I battled at not just ‘ that time of the month’. I still have painful periods accompanied by some nausea however they are shorter and less heavy as before, with other symptoms gone. Also I had constant bloating and now I haven’t been bloated in a very long time. I don’t have stomach pain or reflux anymore.”

TRANSFORMATION… "Natalie really knows her stuff.  No matter what questions you throw at her, she has a well-researched and logical answer.  No ulterior motives (like some people have, trying to sell you things like supplements) – and no bullshit.  She tells it like it is – and I love it. I  lost 5kg of the extra weight, my psoriasis and dermatitis is 75% better, and my sleep is amazing. The constipation resolved (thank goodness, as it was painful), bloating also subsided considerably and continues to improve as I stick with this new lifestyle.  An unexpected ‘perk’ from the GRP has been the underlying level of calm that I feel.  People at work comment that I seem like I am in a ‘Zen state’!"

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 GRP 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 virtual clinic, although I’m 10,000 miles away from you, in the UK. I feel connected and supported.”

TRANSFORMATION… “I can't remember a time that I wasn't fatigued and bloated, no energy… headaches… overweight with recently diagnosed as pre-diabetic. I wanted to feel better and get back to being fit and healthy. The Gut Rebalancing GRP gave me that start as it guided me with meal plans and recipes. After 4 weeks I lost 5.8kg, have no headaches, bloating is gone, and I have so much energy. A lot of people tell me I am looking good and have lost weight.

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 GRP 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”

TRANSFORMATION… “I am over the moon to have finally found the awesome GRP for my gut health!!! Thank you, Natalie, for putting together all the fantastic information about food/stress and the gut. I just LOVE it. After seeing Naturopaths and using a lot of supplements whom thought “Yeh your diet is OK”, I LOVE the fact that Natalie is so passionate and driven by food and lifestyle in connection with the Gut Microbiome.

The GRP is an awesomely organised way to keep my nutrition on track (which I really needed) making it so simple to follow working full-time with 2 young children. It finally feels like I am actually doing something to move towards a happy healthier body. I really love reading the posts from the group and find it inspiring and comforting to have others around going through the same process. So much information that it has let me continue on the same foods even after finishing the GRP. The first time a way of eating has made such an impression to enable me to continue after the fact.”

After 56-days: Weight down by 1.7kg, Waist down by 2cm.

And More Transformations…

— Female 53 (3 Adult Children). W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “Noticing have mucous constantly running from my nose to my throat (post-nasal drip), hay fever in winter and fatigued. I was wanting to feel more energized, lose 4-5 kilos and be less congested and hay feverish. Now I have NO postnasal  drip (it’s completely gone), have NO hay fever and do not experience hot flushes and lost 7kg in total” 

After 56-days: Weight down by 5 kilos, Waist down by 3cm.

Started with… Overweight, Digestive Issues…

— Female, 46. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “Really pleased with the results I’ve achieved, having lost 11 kgs and improving my gut health. My friends have told me that the weight loss and change in my body shape is really noticeable. They’ve also been really supportive of what I’m going for my health, which has been a great help. We used to go to dinner to catch up, but now we do other things like going for a walk. My sleep is still a work is progress, but this has nothing to do with the GRP, and more about me developing a consistent bed time routine. The GRP has given me the tools to continue my journey to good health. Thank you Natalie for developing this fantastic program, it is a credit to you !!!. It’s comprehensive and very easy to follow, because you’ve done all the hard work in providing the menu and the associated shopping list each week. There is nothing to think about except remembering to take the shopping list with you!! The food is full of favour, which was the key to me completing it successfully. The GRP is worth every cent of the investment that everyone should make towards their health.”

 

Started with… Skin issues, Overweight…

— Female, 29. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “The GRP is life changing. I really like the fact that you feel the difference within a week. I feel very light and full of energy. The meals are delicious and very filling. My face that had a lot of acne has cleared up. The main difference has been weight loss and clearer skin.”

 

Started with… Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Reflux (GERD)…

— Female, 55. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “I had 30 years of extremely bad digestion issues, particularly acid reflux and nausea after eating. I also fought a constant battle with cravings for some foods high in salt and sugar. I started the Gut Rebalancing Protocol and was surprised how quickly I started to feel better. My reflux reduced within days. I was also surprised at the bonus of fairly quick initial weight loss – particularly as it wasn’t something I was specifically aiming for. I now have some very practical tools to be able to maintain better long-term gut health. I would recommend this program to anyone with gut issues. Oh, and I no longer get sea-sick!”

 

Started with… Anxiety, SIBO, Pelvic Inflammatory disease, Wanting to get Pregnant…

— Female, 33. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “I finished the GRP in December. I found the first couple of weeks a little challenging and then I found it became easier and loved everything about it from the delicious recipes and learning so much about food and the impact our gut microbiome has to so many areas of our health to how I felt physically and mentally and just being in control. My goal was to heal my gut having been diagnosed with SIBO and Pelvic Inflammatory Disease last year, reduce my inflammation, improve my mood and energy and get pregnant. I was very pleased with the results and achieving all my goals – I am now 12 weeks pregnant. The added bonus is my daughter is sleeping better, her eczema is gone and my husband has lost 9kg. I’ve already got so much value from this group and am very grateful for all of the teachings, support and community the private support group gives us.”

 

Started with… Pain, Menopause symptoms, Overweight…

— Female, 53. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “I joined because I realised I was spending all this time and money on exercise for my physical health but ignoring my inside health. I am currently on week 7 and feel really good. Cravings gone. I mainly started the program for pain. Some of my pains have improved by 50%, my night flushes are gone, weight down and just generally feel good. I have found the program easy to adhere. The preparation is definitely worth doing as it sets up your week. I am now much more conscious of what I put in my mouth. It has been hard at times but worth the effort to feel good when you wake up each morning.”

 

Started with… Eczema, Overweight…

— Female, 42. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “I did really well on the GRP and lost around 8kg & my skin is 85% better than it was. I feel lighter, healthier & am very happy that I was recommended to see you. I am still continuing on my health journey, Thanks for all that you do.”

 

Started with… Hay fever, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Psoriasis, Poor sleep…

— Female, 73. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “I came to Natalie with a handful of Health issues and was sceptical as to whether they could be fixed being 73-yrs old and having many of the issues for over 3 decades. Riddled with daily hay fever – eyes stinging, congested, phlegm, mucous in throat. I also had constant bloating and a nauseous feeling after meals, in fact I’ve suffered with that since I was a child. I had psoriasis and itching that really bothered me. And finally, I slept really badly. But Natalie assured me what she could and couldn’t address so I went into it with realistic expectations however had no idea that my health would transform like this. Now NO hay fever, NO bloating, NO nauseous feeling, NO psoriasis or itching and much better sleep. I have learnt so much, I just wish I knew this years ago and didn’t accept others opinions of “it’s all part of getting older”. I NOW know what keeps me healthy. Thank you so much Natalie.”

 

Started with… Menopausal symptoms, Overweight…

— Female, 52. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “With the GRP…I have found not only have I felt better, slept better, skin is so much brighter and lost 5kg, being menopausal I think this is a huge achievement…nothing else has assisted me with my symptoms …Your advice has been invaluable! Much appreciated Nat! Xx”

 

Started with… Post Nasal drip, Bloating, Cravings…

— Female, 52. W.A. Australia

“Feeling really well, love the choices of food. Less bloating and more energy, post nasal drip nearly gone. Overall going good, recipes are easy to follow and if you follow the preparation it’s a breeze. Seeded crispbread a winner with everyone, have to put mine in a hiding place! No sugar cravings at all, the food fills you up. Making blueberry muffins tomorrow. And loving the ‘Food for Thought’ posts too. Knowledge is powerful. Grateful to have found Nat as this lifestyle is now my way of life I understand that looking after my inner garden is not just a few months and you’ll be right. I have the tools and knowledge to keep my inner garden flourishing.”

 

Started with… Overweight, Anxiety, Depression…

— Female 58 .W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “I have been looking forward to this day when I have to put in my report. I noticed something very subtle but huge this week. I started this GRP because intuitively I felt if I didn’t clean myself up I was going to get really ill. The exhaustion at my core was what scared me most. It felt really deep. Yesterday I noticed that had changed. There is a shift deep in my cells it feels like where it doesn’t feel so debilitating. There is more vitality; I am able to be busy all day whereas before I could only manage about 3 hours of activity in the morning. I have lost 5 kilos – I feel so much better. My emotional self is way more stable and centered. I suer from considerably less anxiety. Irritability gone. Skin is soft now. My eyes have lost the general aches and pains that were pretty much all over my body. Bloating gone, flatulence gone. Sleep much better quality tho sometimes wake around 3’ish, but don’t stress over that like I used to and go back to sleep fairly quickly. It’s remarkable how much can change in a few months! It really is life changing stuff, I’m so heartened by this experience.”

 

Started with… Extreme Fatigue, Overweight, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)…

— Female, 51. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “I can’t remember a time that I wasn’t fatigued and bloated, no energy… headaches… overweight with recently diagnosed as pre-diabetic. I wanted to feel better and get back to being t and healthy. The Gut Rebalancing Protocol gave me that start as it guided me with meal plans and recipes. After 4 weeks I lost 5.8kg, have no headaches, bloating is gone and I have so much energy. A lot of people tell me I am looking good and have lost weight. I’m a walking recommendation for your program!”

 

Started with… Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Adrenal fatigue, Sleep disturbances, Hair Loss…

— Female, 52. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “After a long time trying to get to the bottom of my very poor memory, lethargy and hair loss, I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. I started removing certain foods from my diet as suggested to me and didn’t really see much improvement. In the mean time, I was on so many supplements trying desperately to keep things together. It was then discovered that I had Hashimoto’s thyroiditis…a severe attack on my thyroid which worsened over a couple of years. By this stage I was eating such a limited range of foods that my gut microbiome was seriously out of whack. I was in a terrible state. Fortunately, I discovered Natalie at one of her talks and eventually decided to try the GRP. I could write for half an hour about how things have turned around for me by week 5 of the GRP. I have eaten so much more variety and quantity of food and I am feeling so happy and positive due to the great program and support. I am so grateful I went to that talk!! My life is being transformed not just my health! I have just started week 8 today and everything else is going SO well!! I re-read my goals from week 1 and I was so happy to realise that I have achieved all of them!! Thanks to your knowledge, encouragement and guidance.”

 

Started with… Migraines, Overweight…

— Female, 35. N.S.W. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “I am loving the program. Have even travelled while on the GRP to visiting family in Perth with my 2 and 5 year old in tow. I haven’t had a migraine since starting the program and have lost 6kg! I am loving the recipes and finding the variety so nice from my usual basic diet of the same recipes each week!”

 

Started with… Overweight, Low Energy, Psoriasis, Bone infection (pain)…

— Female, 66. (5 Adult Children) W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “When I started, I used to be tired in the afternoon, now I don’t need to have a nap. In regard to finger pain, it is still there, but I haven’t needed to take any Panadol Osteo for two weeks and it is manageable with rubbing essential oils on it. Also, my left shoulder and knee are gone. Have lost 9.6kg. My psoriasis has greatly improved, only have small scaly patches behind my ears and no inflammation. I am enjoying the recipes and receiving lots of compliments and praises. And my doctor has been monitoring my bloods and results show great results with GGT going from 46 to 18 U/L and CRP (inflammation levels) going down. This proves what this GRP is all about!”

 

Started with… Chronic Psoriasis…

— Female, 41. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “I have suffered with Psoriasis for the past 20 years and now it is quite severe with extensive coverage. After just 2-weeks my psoriasis is beginning to show signs of improvement with my skin looking a bit less angry. The psoriasis on my upper body has improved significantly in my opinion. This GRP has had me buying and preparing certain foods that I had never even seen before, let alone cooked or eaten. It has also been an eye opener about supposedly healthy quick fixes like shop bought dairy free milk etc. that we pay a premium for, but are not that healthy after all. I’ve been surprised by how easy some of these premium items are to make more cheaply (and more healthy versions) at home. As a newcomer to Perth, it’s also been helpful getting shopping tips from others. I feel more educated about food and more capable in the kitchen than ever before.”

Note: This client gave up after 42-days. Although she had significant progress in her condition, and felt so much better, she commented that external pressures she faced was something she found hard. Her boyfriend would nag her about what she was eating e.g. non-processed real whole foods. She also commented that she did not like the attention from co-workers as when a colleague asked ‘so what DO you eat?’ and a different colleague replied ‘she eats salad’ and laughed. Also a colleague was going away and she felt that she would offend him if she ate healthy food. While offered support she decided it was easier to hide her Psoriasis and not deal with the comments from others. If you’re reading this… Ask yourself — Are you going to lead the life of pleasing others or yourself? This is your life, your health

Started with… Digestive issues, Fatigue, Joint pain…

— Female, 35. W.A. Australia.

TRANSFORMATION… “I cannot believe how quickly the time has gone by. I continue to feel really good and I am very happy with how I have made the GRP a way of life for me, I am so much more mindful of what I eat, drink, how I exercise and deal with the day to day stressors in my life. I have learnt through GRP how each of the various elements play an equally important role in my health and I am determined to continue this way of life. I feel well equipped with all the support and resources through the GRP to maintain this moving forward. Thank you Nat and Michael for all your help and support, it has been amazing to get my health back to track!”

Going to the beach and swimming with the kids with heaps of energy (that was my big goal) and it feels so good to get here.  My energy is great, my weight has gone back to my natural weight and my hormonal issues continue to improve. This has been one of the best investments I've ever made. I have learnt so much and it has improved my health and my family's health so much already. Thanks, heaps, for the education and support. I am so glad to have found your help and I can't thank you enough. P.S. I can only imagine the hours of work you've poured into this whole thing (and continue to). Everything is so well organised and presented making it as easy as possible to follow and to have access to this much knowledge and your advice 24/7 is incredible .”

 

Started with… Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Mood Swings, Exhausted…

— Female, 35. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “Considering my catalyst was digestive wellness and that a 4-6 kg loss would be nice, I'm pretty surprised I had 14kgs to lose!  It's been about 20-yrs since I was that weight. I feel amazing and confident. No migraines, gut wellness, great skin (hormone bumps on arms are gone); and most importantly to me by putting myself I have not put my breast-feeding bub second. He is growing and developing well and ahead or achieving expected milestones - so thriving. Thank you, Natalie, for everything you have taught me, I'm still learning but this has been a wonderful start to a new lifestyle for us as a family”. Email follow up a year later… "With great skin, no headaches, feeling refreshed in the morning and calm in the face of 3yr old tantrums and a baby's separation angst. Months later I am still feeling good. 5kg lighter. I never thought my true weight was 'light weight'”

 

Started with… Constipation, Poor skin condition, Tired and stiff…

— Female, 50 (Twins 12 yrs old) Canada

TRANSFORMATION… “When I started I was always constipated. Now I have daily BM. Sometimes 2-3 times a day. I lost 8 pounds since I started and my thighs no longer touch! Energy wise I feel pretty good. No anxiety and little stress. My face feels a little softer and I noticed that my pores are a little smaller. Since I started, I definitely notice a desire to eat good food and have almost no bad cravings. I used to crave sugar and salt, bread, chocolate, cheese etc.  NO breast tenderness that I always got with my period, and no aches, pains or stiffness"

 

Started with… IBS, Fibromyalgia, Migraines, Overweight…

— Female, 47. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “Just wanted to let you know that my IBS symptoms eased after just 2-wks of working with Natalie.. Yay! Loss of 5.2kg, Started with taking a migraine preventative and codeine for regular migraines and chronic daily headaches. No more neck tension, migraine or headaches. Previously suffered with severe allergies (hayfever and cats), sneezing, congestion, sinus headaches, coughing at night, itchy eyes. Now, NO MORE hayfever symptoms other than the occasional sneeze. No coughing, itchy eyes or blocked nose. Able to sleep with cats without any allergy symptoms. Was having a couple of hot flushes per day, some cravings and skin breakouts. Now, no hot flushes for a couple of weeks, no cravings or breakouts. Thank you Natalie”

 

Started with… Overweight, High Cholesterol…

— Male, 55. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “My cholesterol has been high for a number of years - 7.4 , my doctor told me that if it didn't come down he'd want me to start medications.  Even though we ate well at home, I didn't eat well when at work and don't get me started on STRESS! I went to the doctors about a month after finishing to check my cholesterol levels. My doctor called me a few days after my results came in. He doesn't usually call so I was worried. But his voice sounded very pleased as he told me that my levels were down to 5.1 in just that very short time. He said... "I was so surprised, I wanted to let you know right away. It seems that Natalie's GRP is working very well for you!" he continued. "Keep it up - have a great weekend!" It felt really good to hear the news…but then I also recall that not once has my doctor ever mentioned anything about overhauling my diet and lifestyle. He did mention cholesterol controlling margarine and "more veggies", but I've always eaten the veggies and would never touch margarine, so he wasn't telling me anything really helpful.  I'm also maintaining a good 20kg less of 'me' than I used to five years ago. This has allowed me to return to jogging, for example, which I used to enjoy in my 20's and 30's but sore knees had slowed me down by my mid-40's, no sore knees anymore.”

 

Started with… Chronic Fatigue, Anxiety, Aches and Pains, Constipation & Digestive Issues…

— Female, 39. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “I started with chronic fatigue, struggling to get out of bed before 10am. Now, a huge improvement. I wake up around 7:30/8am, feeling refreshed and with lots of energy. I don’t recognise myself anymore! I don’t feel like napping in the afternoon and am able to get so much done during the day! I started with HUGE anxiety before and I can see the anxiety levels have definitely reduced and I can think more rationally and more logically. I was constantly bloated and heavy and my stomach almost looked like I was pregnant! I couldn’t wear a fitted dress! Now almost completely gone!! I have never had such a at stomach since my 20s! I feel full after dinner, but my stomach doesn’t feel heavy or bloated and I can’t remember when was the last time I needed to burp. Now this area this area is close to a miracle!!! Before, I was heavily constipated for close to 39 years of my life! Now, I go regularly every morning after my lemon blend and then again after breakfast. The amount of bowel specialists I have seen in my lifetime to only be told that it’s something I just have to live with is absolutely crazy!! Not a single one had suggested I look into the microbiome, which has now fixed a lifetime of problems in 4 weeks. Before, I’d often wake up in the middle of the night and couldn’t go back to sleep. I used to have terrible nightmares. Now, I sleep like a good baby. No crazy dreams. Wake up around 7:30, feeling refreshed and without the alarm clock. This was basically unheard of before the GRP. Also, before, I had aches and pains all over my body, in my knees, my lower back. I felt like an old grandma. Now, I feel younger, no aches or pains, no lower back pain.”

 

Started with… Overweight, Low Energy, Psoriasis, Bone infection (pain)…

— Female, 66. (5 Adult children) W.A. Australia

Weight loss about 14kg, no longer pre diabetic, cholesterol normal, loads of energy, joint pain improvement. Lethargy gone. Loving the new me!”

 

Started with… Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism, Pain, Low Mood, Digestive Issues…

— Female, 55. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “Started with joint pain in my toes and foot, right hip aches and shoulder pain. I can’t believe it is ALL GONE and the stiffness is relieved. My digestive issues were indigestion, belching, bloating, gas and abdominal spasms. This has settled right down with NO heartburn. Have gone from low mood, frustrated and irritable to being more proactive than reactive and feeling SO much better. Oh, and lost 5kg and hair is growing back. Natalie, being informed has allowed me the freedom to choose wisely, thanks for all the wealth!”

 

Started with… Overweight, Digestive Issues, No Energy…

— Male, 38. W.A. Australia

Started with… Perimenopause Symptoms, Overweight, Indigestion…

— Female , 55. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “I’m feeling great – I said goodbye to indigestion. I don’t have any cravings and hardly think about food other than at meal times. But the most positive change by far is my weight is with eating SO much my weight is down, this is very encouraging”. With continuing the practices…“I’m feeling great – my new normal’ is exhilarating. I fall asleep quickly & usually sleep soundly, my whole digestion system is functioning well & best of all no indigestion. I have lost 11-kilos (10cm’s off my waist) and feel amazing and the highlight of the past few weeks is that my ankles have returned. Due to bloating & being on my feet for most of my work days/nights my ankles had almost become “cankles”, but not anymore. I was leaning over doing up some very high strappy shoes the other night & did it with ease – the last time I attempted this I had to hold my breath as my stomach was pushing up into my lungs & I couldn’t breath. Life is so much easier & I feel so much happier now.”

 

Started with… Graves’ Disease (Full thyroidectomy), Digestive Issues, Insomnia…

— Female, 33. W.A. Australia. Started the GRP at 20 wks pregnant.

TRANSFORMATION… “Without going on and on, I’m just going to let everyone know that the GRP works, and I’ve tried LOTS of things. So because of that, Natalie has my absolute trust and confidence. Sorry for the gushing. I’m done now!”

 

Started with… Lyme disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Headaches, Migraines, Fibromyalgia, Iron deficiency…

— Female, 37. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “I just wanted to say “Thank you” Natalie! For the first time in over 3 years my monthly blood tests have returned a “normal” white cell & neutrophil count! Wooohoo. And just a wonderful tidbit about Iron and the GRP…I traditionally have very low Ferritin levels (several infusions & see a Haematologist). Prior to starting GRP it was 27 (should be over 30) and I started eating healthy mixed with some chicken/sh whilst sorting out intolerances. Iron levels dropped further to 10 through that month. Started with the GRP and have already gone up with no supps!! Now it’s gone UP further and my Haemaglobin has gone up too!! (So no longer mild anaemia). Quite extraordinary! Thank you Natalie and the GRP!! I decided to go for it and see if the gut could “gut it out and re-balance” as you’d mentioned in a previous post and Voila! Extremely grateful”

 

Started with… Osteoarthritis, Poor mood, Overweight…

— Female, 53. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “Biggest noticeable change is my mood. Happy, relaxed positive…finding parking spaces easily at the shops. Lol. Craving for unhealthy snacks AND alcohol gone. A couple of kilos shed. No Tramadol (pain medication) needed for joint pain. Knowledge to take on my overseas holiday…priceless”

 

Started with… Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Graves disease, Multiple Stomach Issues…

— Female, 28. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “Wow Natalie, for years I have had Stomach Issues and seen so many different doctors, none of which have ever provided me with as much insight as your Digestive Dominoes Podcast. Thank you!”

Unfortunately even though this client was getting amazing results, after 2-wks she pulled out of the GRP and said… “Thanks, I’m done, thanks for fixing me”. I encouraged her to stay telling her that while she had amazing results that it actually takes more time to shift the her ‘gut’ into a new steady state (as I had originally told her) and gave her the option to re-join the program. She declined saying she didn’t have the time to look after herself. One year later, she emailed me saying that all her issues were back and WORSE. When given the option of re-joining she said… “Can’t you give me a quick fix?” … obviously, I couldn’t help her.

 

Started with… High Cholesterol, Overweight, Digestive Issues…

— Female, 50. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “Total Cholesterol down from 7.6 to in range at 4.9, with a reduction of LDL from 5.1 to 3. I was on a wait list for an Endoscopy for the upper abdominal cramps and pains and NOW – NO spasms, bloating, cramping, tightness or tender feeling. No need for MRI!!! AND 9kg lighter and now at a healthy weight”

 

Started with… Obesity, Sleep issues, Anxiety, Digestive issues, Fatigue, Back & Hip pain.

— Female, 58 (1 Adult child) W.A Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “From waking 2 – 3 times a night I now sleep soundly and my sleep quality has improved. I feel more confident, happier and more relaxed. I am noticing the positive changes in my health from GRP and this helps me feel more optimistic. I can concentrate a bit better, being unable to focus and stay on track was contributing to my anxiety. I have the tools to help slow down and think about how to handle situations and feel more optimistic about each day.

I’ve had no reflux or heartburn, nor bloating. I would often wake in the morning feeling I could go back to sleep, now my energy levels have improved and no longer need to nap in the afternoons. I am feeling better in many ways, I have increased flexibility and strength. My baggy clothing is feeling so much more comfortable particularly in the heat. I am getting comments from people on how healthy I look. I feel really happy about taking care of myself. 

After 56-days: Weight down by 16 kilos, Waist down by 16cm.

Started with… Hashimotos, Ulcerative Colitis, Lethargy, Lack of confidence, Anxiety, Depression...

— Female, 38. Victoria. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… 28-Days in…“Wow, what a ride the last 4 weeks have been.. I have enjoyed most of the food, and feel much healthier and happier then I did before I started. I have lost 5kg and a few centimetres here and there. My energy levels have increased, and my mood is more consistent. I have felt more irritable at times, but I feel like I am better able to manage and shift my mood with deep breathing exercises in the moment, self compassion and a daily routine to keep on top of any stressors. Digestive dominos can be challenging at times, but the majority of the time I am enjoying slowing down, being more aware of what I am putting into my mouth and appreciating every mouthful. I think knowing that I am doing all that I can to improve my health is reassuring when things get tough, but overall I am feeling happy, healthy and vibrant, which was my main reason for beginning this journey”

 

Started with… Overweight, High Blood Pressure, Low Energy, Acid Reflux, Poor sleep, Allergies…

— Male, 40. Washington State, USA

TRANSFORMATION… “I'm down by 16 kilos! The majority of this happened in the first 3 months. Before working with Nat I had BP of 190/128 (this is an impending heart attack or stroke, folks) and now I've settled in around 125/80. The most common comment I get from friends and co-workers is "you are just glowing now, how are you doing that??". 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! I have had a total transformation in energy levels, attitude, mood, communication, sleep, and the list goes on. Feelings of anxiety, uneasiness, irritability and 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 acid reflux and seasonal allergies have totally disappeared and that feels so great, these are things I expected to plague me for life. 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 working with Nat. 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”

TRANSFORMATION… “I was sick of people asking me, "When are you due?" But could understand, as I always looked 9-mths pregnant. Bloating, Gas, Pain, alternating with Diarrhea and Constipation - Sorry if it's too much information. I had tried gut healing powders, supplements, keto diet, Fodmap diet, Autoimmune diet and while I felt better for a while, it always came back. Well now it is gone, all my symptoms and I can eat everything. I no longer have to worry about having an IBS attack and lost 9.5kg!! During the GRP I learnt about the Gut Microbiome and now know that it was by fixing that that fixed my IBS. Natalie, no-one asks me "When are you due?" anymore. I couldn't be happier. And to think it was all possible with just looking after my Gut microbes!!"

 

Started with… Overweight, Eczema, Acne, Digestive issues, Anxiety, Mood swings…

— Female, 20. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “I have seen changes that I wasn’t expecting and have learnt a lot more about my body in the process. Have lost 7.4kg and 8-9cm off my bust, waist and hips! My energy levels used to fade throughout the day. I feel now that I am not limited in energy over the last two weeks. I have been genuinely surprised by my reduction in stress and anxiety over the last two weeks, as I have still had exams, however I did not feel the weight on my chest like I used to regarding my stress. My mood swings have also subsided and I am really happy about that. My acne has cleared completely on my face and my eczema is getting better and only evident as really dry patches rather than inflamed and raised rashes. Such a massive difference to the beginning of week one. I feel great about my belly, feeling no bloat or cramps etc. I find that I am tolerating more foods now also. Have noticed NO more wheezing and only occasional sneezing. No running nose in the mornings, no coughing. I’m feeling so good and really happy with my progress.”

Started with… Obesity, Anxiety, Sore joints, Arthritic pain, Fatigue…

— Female, 54. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “I cannot tell you how much better you made me feel!! I’ve spent so many years living a roller coaster of fear of food, eating far too much – NOW new beginnings are coming my way. I have lost 22kg but more than that it is all the other health benefits. Before I started, I suffered from high levels of anxiety, now I feel so much calmer and clearer in my head. No hot flushes, fluid in legs and ankles gone, sleeping well, post-nasal drip gone. Also I haven’t had to take any pain medication since starting the GRP which is a miracle. 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.

2-yrs later…

“Happy New Year Nat Thanks to you and all your wonderful advice I’m still 30kg down. It’s been a process, but I could never ever go back to where I was when I started your program. Thank you so much, J xxxx.”

 

Started with… High Levels of Stress, Anxiety, Overweight, Menopausal symptoms, Digestive Issues…

— Female, 61. W.A. Australia

“Very Happy – 6kg down and overall I feel so much better with an increase in energy levels. When I started I was very moody, weepy and dealing with a lot of stress out of my control which required counselling. Now I am more in control when stressful situations arise, even if the issue if something I cannot do anything about; still feel irritable but definitely calmer. No food cravings and indigestion nearly gone. I am stronger in mind and body and can deal with anything. Even under pressure cause it’s late or whatever, to cook a proper meal for the family, I just breathe and calmly put something yummy together. Everyone is happy.”

No or very little bloating!, no clotting!, and no sore breasts!! The change in my periods began immediately — I have had four periods whilst being on the GRP and have not had any period pain tablets — a first in decades!! My periods are the best they have been for years and years!”

 

Started with… Low Iron for 12 yrs, Fatigue…

— Female 42. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “Working alongside Natalie has been transformative to me in that: It has evened out and stabilised my appetite, increased and fortified my energy levels (it has also boosted my iron levels (this was tested last month), having had a positive impact on my digestion and sleep and it has given me positivity and a general sense of wellness to look after myself better, which has boosted my confidence, a positive feedback loop which keeps going, i.e. I now no longer feel constantly fatigued, and as a result, I have more positivity around my health.”

 

Started with… Ankylosing Spondylitis, Reflux (GERD), Irritable Bowel Syndrome…

— Male, 40. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “For 20 years I’ve had Upper back pain – intermittent pain in hands, legs and eyes and taken a Panadeine forte for back pain. I’ve had none for 6-wks and the pain is gone. I have had chronic IBS for years and it is now 70% better. But the most amazing is that I have had reflux for 20yrs – every single day – and taken a Quickeze (everyday) and Zantac (1-2x a week) but now I’ve had a 70% improvement and if I do get it, it is quickly relieved with Ginger tea.”

Started with… High Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, Overweight, Osteoarthritis…

— Female 63. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “It has been quite the learning curve. It’s been so simple that I even stuck to the plan whilst on a cruise to New Zealand. Before I started, I had a few issues such as thick mucus in my throat for the last couple of years, coughing a lot in my sleep at night, diagnosed fatty liver, high cholesterol and a lot of inflammation in my joints (osteoarthritis). I am so ever grateful to Natalie for getting me started and on track. I knew she would be a “no bullshit” person, but that was what I needed to have someone kick me in the behind. Blood pressure normal from super high to 121/82; the mucus was gone after week 3; coughing has stopped, I have lost almost 8 kgs and 11 cms off my waist. Blood tests show inflammation GONE and Cholesterol has gone right down from 7.3 to 4.8. I no longer have any aches and pains and no need for Osteoarthritis pain relief. Thank you, Natalie, so much. My journey has not ended, but just started ”

One year later…

“My husband and I have learnt so much and our health has improved no end”

 

Started with… Digestive Issues, Constipation…

— Female, 54. Perth, Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “I joined the GRP because of digestion issues and poor bowel regularity- which I have had most of my life. Seemed to be an inherited issue which usually gives people an out by saying, “Oh well I can’t do anything about inherited issues!” I decided I didn’t want to end up like my parents as I started to age – gracefully of course! I went on a very strict programme in 2016 for weight loss and achieved my goals but still had the worse digestion and bowel issues. I have no digestive pain or sluggishness and a regular bowel. I am very appreciative of all the hard work and insight given by Natalie. It’s amazing that there is a massive variety of foods out there I wasn’t eating.”

 

Started with… Digestive issues, Cravings, Post-Pregnancy Weight…

— Female, 32. W.A. Australia

TRANSFORMATION… “I loved doing the GRP. Once I did the prep before starting I found it easy to follow the GRP- I religiously stuck to it for the first 4 weeks and had some great results- lost weight was less bloated had more energy and didn’t crave the bad foods which was my main reason for doing the plan in the first place. Sometimes when I indulge a little too much on the sourdough bread I just bring it back to the GRP principles. Not going to lie, some days were tough combating the sugar withdrawals but perseverance and determination and it’s all worth it.”
