Welcome to the Gut Healthy newsletter!

Hello!

I am thrilled to welcome you to Gut Healthy's very first official newsletter! Some of you may already be familiar with my work, while others may be new or just discovering me.

To my regular clients, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude. Thank you for choosing me as part of your healthcare team. It’s truly a privilege to work with you towards a happy and healthy life.

For those who are new or just getting to know me, I am a registered holistic nutritionist and health coach, specializing in:

  • Chronic diseases, particularly obesity and diabetes
  • Complex digestive issues, including Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and food intolerances
  • Transitioning to more whole-food, plant-based eating
  • General nutritional support

My approach is a personalized, functional health one, tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs. Recognizing that everyone is different, I go beyond diet alone, incorporating lifestyle recommendations on exercise, stress management, sleep, and more to create a holistic path toward your health goals.

Sending this first newsletter has been a long-time goal, and it feels amazing to finally share it with you. In the coming months, I'll be bringing you wellness tips, recipes, nutrition and health advice, and more to support your health and overall well-being. I’m excited to have you as part of this community!

If you’re as enthusiastic as I am, please read on and feel free to share this newsletter with friends and family who may benefit from it. If you’d prefer not to receive future newsletters, you can easily unsubscribe using the link in the bottom left corner.

I welcome all feedback, comments, and questions on the content provided, and I’d love to hear any suggestions for topics you’d like covered in future newsletters.

Thank you for your support! Be well.


As the crisp fall air settles in, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the season with nourishing recipes that not only taste delicious but also support your gut health. This month, I'm spotlighting my cozy Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins—a wholesome treat that’s full of flavour and packed with nutritional benefits.

Pumpkin is a fantastic source of fibre, which promotes healthy digestion and helps maintain a balanced gut microbiome. It’s also rich in antioxidants like beta-carotene, which supports your immune system—perfect as we head into colder months. Paired with oats, another gut-friendly ingredient rich in prebiotic fibre, these muffins are a great way to start your day or enjoy as a snack.


Book Recommendation: Built to Move by Kelly & Juliet Starrett

Physical movement is a key part of overall health and that's why I'm excited to recommend Built to Move, a guide to incorporating essential movement habits into your daily routine. This easy to read and well laid out book offers practical tips to help you move freely and feel great, no matter your fitness level.


This summer, I completed the Plant-Based Nutrition course through the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies. This experience deepened my understanding of the powerful role whole, plant-based foods play in supporting overall health, and I'm excited to bring this knowledge to my work as we continue exploring the link between nutrition and wellness.


See you next month!

While all berries are packed with nutrition, each variety brings something unique to the table. Strawberries are one of the best sources of vitamin C, providing more than...

Farmer's Market

June 2026 And why they're worth celebrating. June is Eat Local Month, and every year I'm reminded just how special this season is. Not just because of the abundance of fresh produce, but because locally grown food simply tastes different. When I first met my husband, vegetables weren't exactly his favourite foods. Growing up, most of the vegetables he ate came from cans or the grocery store and were overcooked. That was a very different experience from my own. I grew up on a farm, where...

May 2026 Lifespan vs. Healthspan Most of us want to live a long life. We try to eat well, move our bodies, get enough sleep, and manage stress because we know these habits support our health. But when you think about it, is living longer really the goal? What most of us truly want is to feel good for as many years as possible, to stay active, independent, mentally sharp, and able to enjoy life. That’s where the idea of healthspan comes in. Over the past few years, there’s been a growing focus...
