Before you dive into our FAQs, we want you to pause and honestly check your readiness and willingness to commit before joining.

Outstanding results have been achieved by our members not by chance, but because they showed up fully—embracing the process, learning (and unlearning), being coachable, and applying all the principles consistently.

If you want to sit on the sidelines, cherry-pick, or hope for change without changing — you won’t get the transformation you’re seeking.

We are confident that we can help you get to where you want to be—but only if you are prepared to step up and do your part.

If you’re looking for a “quick fix” or hoping to simply get this health stuff “over and done with”, this is not the place for you.

And if you’re not prepared to step outside your comfort zone, you will limit the results that are possible for you.

We know this may sound like we’re trying to put you off. In truth, we’re simply being upfront. There are no shortcuts when it comes to reversing health challenges that have developed over years. But here’s the truth: when you are 100% committed, transparent, and ready to prioritise your health, results are not only possible—they are inevitable.

We will give you every tool you need to transform your health. But none of that matters unless you are ready to do your part.

If you are willing, able, and ready to transform your health—and keep it that way, once and for all—then please join us. It would be our honour and privilege to guide you back to optimal health.

That’s up to you!

Because it doesn’t matter if it costs — $1000, $5,000 or $10,000+ — if you are not willing to be an active member in the program and commit to making change, then you’re wasting your money!

If you're not ready to take action, no amount of money spent will make a difference.

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

Health doesn't decline overnight, it takes years.

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

The Program isn’t an expense — it’s a SMART INVESTMENT in both your present and future health—because we’re with you for life!

Let us ask you...

HOW much are your health issues costing you, in the way of…

⊕ Supplements, Protein powders etc?

⊕ Over-the-counter AND prescribed Medications?

⊕ Doctor and Specialist appointments?

⊕ Treatments?

⊕ New wardrobe items?

HOW much are they costing you with…

⊕ Your relationships – with your partner, kids, grandkids, relatives and friends.

⊕ Taking time off work, or not being able to work? Being in fear of not being able to work!

⊕ To your self-esteem and confidence?

⊕ Your ability to function on a daily basis?

When you add up ALL these costs to your hip-pocket, physical, mental and emotional wellbeing… we believe you will find our Program one of the BEST INVESTMENTS you’ll ever make!

There are Two Paths Forward…

Path 1: Wait and See
Continue managing symptoms, taking the occasional probiotic, and hoping things don't get worse. Statistics show this approach typically leads to:

• Without intervention: 78% of untreated chronic gut inflammation leads to more serious autoimmune conditions within 8-10 years

• 3-5 prescription medications by age 68

• Reduced travel ability due to unpredictable digestive issues

• Significantly higher healthcare costs ($7,000+ annually out-of-pocket)

• The domino effect: Gut permeability issues typically manifest as joint pain, decreased mobility, and increased medication dependency by 65

• The hidden timeline: Most women don't realize that the occasional bloating and digestive discomfort today is silently progressing toward systemic inflammation tomorrow

• The "I wish I'd addressed this sooner" regret.

Path 2: Intervention Now
Address the root causes of your gut dysfunction today through the GutStrong Method…

• Enjoy the remainder of your working years or retirement with energy and mobility.

• Have the confidence to wear anything and do everything!

• Travel without mapping bathroom locations.

• Maintain independence from the healthcare system.

• Experience the confidence of knowing you've protected your future self.

The Window Is Closing

The uncomfortable truth for women in their 50s and 60s, is that the body's ability to recover from long-term gut damage diminishes by approximately 14% each year without intervention.

The women I work with often tell me: "I wish I'd done this 10 years ago when I first noticed symptoms."

So, let’s get back to your question… “Is the Program worth the investment?”

We believe it’s a RESOUNDING ‘YES’!!

Your future self is counting on the decision you make today.

YES…. In that your MEMBER HUB (accessible through our website) gives you access to all your program materials and online video coaching sessions where Natalie & Michael guide you on what to action. You can watch, or listen to, at a time that suits you.

YES... by joining the GutStrong Circle an exclusive community where you can connect with other women on a parallel journey and get support and answers to your questions in the weekly Q&A’s.

And YES… by joining our weekly group online ZOOM roundtables to connect with practitioners for support and expertise. This is where you can work through struggles, challenges or roadblocks. And if at any time you want one-on-one coaching or health support you have the opportunity to book a Private Consult at a special 50% off member-only price.

IMPORTANT: All questions are only answered in weekly Zoom roundtables or live Q&A’s. Any direct questions, emails, comments or messages to Practitioners are not responded to.

For any administrative inquiries, such as accessing your account, you can always email our Customer Support team.

We want to ensure that our members have a smooth and stress-free experience, as any discomfort with using or accessing the materials can affect the overall effectiveness of the program. Run through this simple checklist to see if you are ready…

• Laptop or Desktop Computer – to access the Member Hub to download files, open ZIP folders and PDF files, fill in online documents and listen to coaching videos. Needless to say, for an online course, daily access to technology is a must. You will need to be able to have enough memory on your device to download a ZIP file of up to 20MB.

• Smartphone or iPad/Tablet (or computer/laptop) to access the Gut Health Circle (on FB) to access extra educational content and weekly Live Q&As.

• Internet Access – our programs are 100% online. Most standard internet connections cope fine with this. But if you have scattered or unreliable connections we don’t recommend joining!

• An Email Account (where you can reliably be reached) and receive important emails about accessing your program and to receive weekly ZOOM invites.

• A Facebook account – your own personal profile to access the Gut Health Circle for Live Q&A’s plus more gut health education.

• YouTube – Which you can access through the web or download the APP on your smartphone to watch or listen to the daily coaching videos.

• Microsoft Word (for windows or Mac) or Google Docs – to fill in online documents.

• Access to a Printer – to print meal plans, shopping lists and movement and hydration log. If you don’t have a printer at home, many places, such as local libraries, have printing services for a small fee.

In addition you will require ‘digital literacy’ and will need to be able to…

• Watch or listen to a video on YouTube.

• Join a ZOOM video call with your camera and microphone on.

• Use the FB app on your computer, tablet, or smartphone

• Fill in a document online.

• Navigate/Search in folders/files and open folders/files.

We are unable to provide technical assistance so it’s important you are able to do all of this.

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

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

If you can’t afford to buy a high-quality blender/food processor, we highly recommend that you check out online marketplaces for a second-hand one, or ask a friend or relative if you can borrow theirs for the duration of the program.

We provide you with a Kitchen Basics list and ample time to purchase basic items such as silicone ice-cube trays, a julienne peeler, spiralizer etc.

Our Program is designed to give you everything you need — from the comprehensive Roadmap to weekly live support sessions and practitioner-led Q&As that keep you guided and supported every step of the way. But sometimes, you might want a little extra 1:1 time with your practitioners — to dive deeper, get personal guidance, or work through something unique to you. That’s why we offer 50% off private sessions anytime you need them. Think of these sessions as your safety net — there if you need them, giving you complete peace of mind and personalised support whenever you want it.

60-min session: $300 (With ‘Start of program PHA’ submitted when requested in Coaching videos)

60-min session: $600 For members who do not submit their PHA. This fee reflects time required to comprehensively assess pre-consult Confidential Health Data form plus consult time.

Sessions available online via Zoom, FaceTime or WhatsApp Video Calls.

You won’t be fitting it in — you’ll be making space for what truly matters… your health.

The program isn’t about adding more to your overflowing plate. It’s about clearing the clutter — freeing up time, energy, and mental load so your days flow with more ease and purpose.

We’ve designed every element to save you time, not take it:

• Weekly meal plans, shopping lists, and recipes remove the endless decision fatigue around what to eat and buy.

• Simple lifestyle tweaks blend seamlessly into your current routine — no overhaul required.

• Coaching videos can be listened to while driving, cooking, or folding laundry.

This program was built for busy people who want lasting results without waiting for “life to slow down” (because let’s face it — it never does).

Our members consistently say they gain time through our program— not lose it:

“I’ve freed up so much time by removing the daily thinking and shopping trips — no more ‘what’s for dinner?’ stress!”

“No more hours wasted scrolling for meal ideas. I have every recipe I need — and I know they meet my nutritional goals.”

“Shopping is faster and cheaper. I buy only what I need and save $50–$80 a week!”

“The weekend prep list is magic. I pop on some music, prep for a few hours, and enjoy a smooth, stress-free week.”

This program helps you take your health off the “when I have time” list — and make it part of how you create time, energy, and flow in your life.

The program is 100% plant-based.

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

But don’t worry because 95%+ of our members come to us as meat-eaters and every single one of them felt daunted by the thought of ‘just plants’.

In fact, they had visions of their plate consisting of a few Brussel sprouts, boiled cauliflower and some tasteless Tofu!!

But soon realized (in the first week) that ALL the meals are amazingly delicious - a taste sensation - and they’ve never had so much variety with recipes including cuisines from around the world.

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

However, if it’s just the FOOD you’re after then do NOT purchase our program, as you won’t get the long-term sustainable results we offer, and you’ll be disappointed. It’s LIFESTYLE plus FOOD that bring the positive, long-term changes to health.

Note: We do NOT endorse any 'one-way' of eating or 'diet'.

The lifestyle elements of our Program has been proven to positively impact the health of the Gut Microbiome (and overall health). We deliver these ‘elements’ through the daily online coaching videos.

Examples of these are… Getting prepared, Prioritizing health, Welcoming Change, Digestive Dominoes, Sleep & digital hygiene, Movement, Hydration, Stress Awareness and Relief etc.

The effectiveness (and results) come from implementing both the FOOD and LIFESTYLE elements of our program. Make no mistake… these lifestyle elements are an ESSENTIAL and CRUCIAL part of changing your health for the better. Without implementing them, the program will not be effective.

If it’s just the FOOD you’re after then do NOT purchase one of our programs, as you won’t get the long-term sustainable results we offer, and you’ll be disappointed.

Instead buy Natalie’s Gut Health Recipe Compendium! It’s a FOODIE’S dream!

Absolutely!!

Unlike many recipes that cater for 3, 4 or 5 people ALL of our recipes and shopping lists cater for 1-person. This way you can easily buy food and make recipes without wasting money, time or throwing out excess food.

But if you have a partner, or family, you can easily double, triple, quadruple recipes, or your shopping. All you need to know is your times tables ;-)

As you can imagine, there a many types of health conditions, which makes it impossible in this FAQ to tell you whether our program is suitable for you.

However, we know that common sense will prevail, and you understand that no ‘one’ program is a 'miracle cure’. You are not going to eliminate multiple health issues or a chronic health condition, in a month.

We do provide one-on-one support while on the program, to address specific health issues, but this attracts a consulting fee.

Some diet changes we recommend, such as increasing fibre and diversifying plant intake, have been shown to trigger adverse responses in some people with a sensitive gut. While we give advice that is suitable for most people, following our advice could make your condition worse.

We do not diagnose, prevent, or treat any diseases (including metabolic or inflammatory conditions). If you have any underlying health conditions you should consult your treating physician before joining the program.

This program is not appropriate for those with an eating disorder or a history of eating disorders.

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

If you would like to speak to Natalie about your particular health issue(s) and determine the best way forward please book an exploratory call with her HERE

If you suffer with Anxiety (incl. GAD), Depression, Bipolar disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Schizophrenia, Eating disorders, Disruptive behaviour and dissocial disorders, Neurodevelopmental disorders (incl. Autism spectrum disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or any other type of mental health condition/disorder you will need to have mental health support in place (with a licensed counsellor/psychologist) while on one of our programs. This is so you have one-on-one support to maximize benefits and minimize any fight, flee, freeze or hypervigilance reactions. NOTE: If you do not have a counsellor/psychologist — we have a licenced (microbiome informed) counsellor (Michael) on staff that you can work with during your program.

The reason we ask you to have this ongoing support is that the process of rebalancing the Microbiome can affect emotional and mental health at critical points during the ‘Gut remodelling’ process.

Over 80% of our members commence our program taking medication(s). However, as their health improves, they work with their doctor/specialist to adjust their medication if warranted.

You NEED to CONTINUE taking your medication(s) during the program. However, we recommend that you consult with Natalie during the program to discuss the impact of medications on your health and what your options are. You can then take those ‘options’ to your doctor/specialist to discuss. [Natalie can write a letter to your treating physician].

What we can tell you… is that over 90% of our members are eventually able to reduce/stop medications such as PPI’s, Hypertensive meds, Diabetes meds, HRT, Pain relief meds, Anti-depressants, Anti-anxiety meds and so much more under the guidance of their doctor/specialist and Natalie’s input. See their RESULTS

However, you should always consult your treating physician before starting any program.

Absolutely, you can eat the same meals together and just add in ‘extra’ for your partner/kids.

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

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

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

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

NO, NO and NO!!

Because the word DIET means... "to restrict oneself to small amounts or special kinds of food in order to lose weight"

There is NO restriction to the amount of food you can eat. In fact our members say they've never eaten so much!

While heading towards a HEALTHY weight is certainly a positive side-effect of our program, it is NOT the focus.

Our program focuses on Food AND Lifestyle strategies that create a healthy flourishing Microbiome which equals a healthy flourishing YOU and a healthy weight!

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

WHY?

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

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

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

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

If you would like to read about our members’ experiences read their RESULTS

During our program you will learn ALL about the FOODS that can replace many of the supplements you may be on.

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

For individuals who have chronic health issues, the use of clinical therapeutic probiotics can assist some conditions. So during the program, if you wish to discuss, you have the opportunity to book a paid private consult with Natalie during your program. If deemed that clinical probiotics will be effective for your condition they will be prescribed. Members will be set up with a wholesale account to buy at cost. We do not make any commission from the sale.

ABSOLUTELY as our program is 100% online!!

Our program has successfully been done by members from around the world, which to date, include Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA, Japan, Vietnam, Vanuatu, UK, Scotland, Switzerland and Germany. NOTE: the program is in English only.

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

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

About 90% of the ingredients can be purchased from ANY supermarket around the globe — how do we know? Because, to date, our members have come from all over Australia, New Zealand, Canada, The United States, Japan, Vietnam, Vanuatu, United Kingdom, Switzerland and Germany.

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

Some ingredients such as Tamari, Nutritional/Savoury Yeast flakes, Miso paste, Hemp seeds etc. were not always available from their local supermarkets but our members were able to purchase from speciality stores, bulk stores, health food stores, Asian supermarkets or online.

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

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

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

Our members tell us that our program saves them $80 to $100AUD a week on their grocery bill.

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

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

Absolutely!!

In fact, we encourage it.

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

But it may require navigating SOME change i.e. instead of meeting friends for a cake and coffee you may just have the coffee.

When you're prioritizing your health and incorporating health-supporting behaviours it involves making change.

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

It would require navigating change, right?

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

You’d have to pre-plan, right?

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

Recent research suggests...

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

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

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

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

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

So is eating out and socializing during our programs doable?

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

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

YES... but you don’t have to if you don’t want to.

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

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

If you have a membership for Yoga, Pilates, Swimming or Strength Training or a weekly team sport (Netball, basketball etc.) then please continue… these are wonderful movements that we encourage you to stick with.

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

Imagine if you were trying to heal a broken leg. You wouldn't go jogging, marathon running or hiking, would you?

These 'exercises' aren't conducive to healing a broken leg, right? They’re not ‘bad’ forms of exercise but they don’t help with the healing of a broken bone, in fact they will make it much worse!!

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

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

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

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

But, we don't dictate 'no alcohol' forever but we will teach you all about alcohol and its effects on your gut health and overall health... and you will decide for yourself.

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

There are gluten-free options for ALL our recipes.

However, in some recipes we ask you to include organic wholemeal uncontaminated Oats (i.e., oats NOT rolled in wheat or other gluten containing grain).

The safety of oats in individuals on gluten-free diets has been extensively investigated and evidence shows that the various components of uncontaminated oats (those not rolled in wheat, rye, barley etc.) have important components such as dietary fibre and beta-glucans (β-glucans), a prebiotic source. Research has shown that β-Glucans are a strong immune stimulants, antagonistic against benign and malignant tumors, can lower cholesterol and triglycerides, assist in maintaining blood glucose balance, protect against harmful pathogens, and improve gut integrity. The gut microbiota metabolizes the oat’s components to produce Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs) that have a strong anti-inflammatory effect on the body and may help individuals following a gluten-free diet.

The protein in oats - Avenin - has been extensively evaluated and studies show that the immune activation sequences present in gliadin (gluten) are missing in avenin. However, it is necessary to understand that there are many varieties and cultivars and thus oats may contain various amino acid sequences and thus different immunoreactivities. Thus, it is essential to thoroughly study the variety of oats being used before including it in a gluten-free diet. You should always discuss the safety of oats for your individual circumstances with your health care specialist. Alternatives are given for each recipe containing oats.

Yes, it’s ‘dairy free’ but just so you know, we are NOT against dairy!!
