Who I am & how I plan to help you

My assumption is that you’re here because you’re dealing with gut health issues OR you want to improve your gut health. Largely because that’s 95% of what I talk about online where you found me. If you’ve struggled with:
Then I think you’ll like it here. I coach people who are struggling with a wide range of health issues stemming from an unhealthy gut. I help them remove the uncertainty by identify the real issues and then implement protocols that are specific to their situation so that they can go back to enjoying their life the way it was meant to be. What I have found since I started working with people is that there are way more health issues linked to poor gut health than we think. Hippocrates was on to something when he said, “All disease begins in the gut.” As I said in my message yesterday, I want to introduce myself more formally to you by explaining a bit about me, how I got here and how I hope to help you. Up until my early 20s, I lived what most people would consider a normal “healthy” life. No major issues. But when I turned 21 that changed. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called Ulcerative Colitis, which started a slow & steady freefall in my life. My mental and physical health deteriorated. I felt like I was getting hit from all angles. Career, friendships, family, religion, etc. I took the traditional route at first working with all kinds of doctors, nutritionists & other experts. I tried everything:
You name it, I tried it. My autoimmune condition worsened leading to more & more issues with my health. Until I found myself not too far away from things like having my colon removed or developing something far worse like colon cancer. It’s hard to put in words how painful this period of my life was. This was the closest I’d ever been to rock bottom. The traditional approach clearly wasn’t working. So, I felt like I had no choice but to take responsibility for my healing or accept the consequences of the path I was on. I chose the first option. For the next 3+ years, I spent just about every waking moment of free time I had researching topics, reading through studies, listening to podcasts, watching webinars, talking to functional & holistic health experts and consuming any other helpful information I could find. I saw some small improvements initially, but it was a loooong, bumpy and most of the time confusing journey. I made painful mistakes along the way, but those allowed me to continue to learn, refine & improve. Fast forward almost a decade later and things look a bit different. I no longer deal with these health issues. My autoimmune condition has been in remission for over 5 years with zero medication or ongoing treatment. All of the downstream issues that came from it are gone. Mentally & physically I am healthier than I’ve ever been. Every aspect of my life has not only improved and but also reached new heights. I don’t say this to boast but rather to help you understand a little bit about me and how I got to this point. And hopefully to also help reinforce the belief in your head that you can heal. Since I made it to the other side, I’ve dedicated all of my time to helping other people do the same thing. By posting on social media, sending out emails, talking to people on podcasts and coaching people directly. The healing journey for many people isn’t easy. My hope is that by sharing information about the methods that helped me and over 100 other people I've worked with heal, I can make that process easier for you. So that you can move on, focus on bigger things and most importantly enjoy life. The way that it’s meant to be. Till next time. - Nick PS - Tomorrow I'm going to talk a little more about my philosophy and some of the core beliefs around health. So look out for that message.
