1. When is the official program start date?The next round of Healin’ Guts + Shakin’ Butts kicks off in September 2024! You'll get access to the HAN Cookbook immediately upon purchase. We'll kick off the program with a Welcome Week + Welcome Call. Then you'll gain access to Phase 1. From then on, for a total of 16 weeks, you will be fully supported in transforming your digestive health and getting your life back.
2. How many hours will I need to invest in this program every week?
How many hours have you spent struggling in digestive pain? It definitely wont be that long. On average, the modules range from 20 minutes - 45 minutes. Our live calls + coaching sessions will be around an hour long. Your 1:1 consults with your RD are also an hour long. They'll fly by!
Trust me, the time that you’ll GET BACK once you feel amazing will make this all more than worth it.
3. What if I don’t have time for HGSB?
The reality is: there will never be a *perfect* time where your calendar is empty. You have to create the right time. We create time for things that are important to us. Make this one of them. Past students have ranged from busy nurses working 12-hour shifts, to stay-at-home moms, to students. Women from all different backgrounds and lifestyles have made this program work for them. If they can do it, you can do it!
4. How do I know HGSB will actually work for me? Because sometimes it feels like I’ve tried ALL THE THINGS and got none of the results…
We very often let limiting beliefs hold us back (What's the point, I'm broken, I'll never get any better, I know I won't follow through with this...etc.). Don't let the fear of failing stop you before you have even started. Isn't it funny how we do that? Convince ourselves that we shouldn't do it out of fear that we'll fail...before we have even tried. Now let me ask you a better question...
5. What if this program DOES work for you?
What if you get to enjoy life without pain, savoring a mouth-watering meal with your loved ones (because food should be celebrated not feared), socializing without worry, wearing what you want when you want, and developing a better relationship with yourself? We all have digestive systems that require the same mechanisms to function. Of course, as a whole, we have unique differences (and that's why the program teaches how to apply everything to your own circumstances), but all digestive systems need to properly break down food and have a balanced gut microbiome in order for us to feel healthy + happy (bloat-free, pain-free, energized, and aligned)!
Remember, all health starts in the gut. So if you're a human with a digestive system - there's no reason you shouldn't benefit from this program.
6. When will I start feeling/seeing results? Because I need help NOW.
Everyone’s body is different. It depends on how long you’ve been dealing with your symptoms/condition, how committed you are to the program, and past programs you've tried (and where they've left you). Clients typically see big shifts start to happen around weeks 6-8, and things will continue to get better from there.
7. I think I'm interested in working with you more 1:1. Will this program still fit my needs?
I've designed HGSB to be the best combination of individualized support, group support, community, and connection. Inside of HGSB, you get my attention for 16 weeks. You can ask your questions in your community support group, and you get to ask your assigned Functional RD all of your protocol questions in your sessions and via email in between your sessions. So don't worry about not being able to ask questions or customize, we do that in here!
8. How will I remain accountable in the program?
Some of you have said to me, "Hannah, I don't know if I can stay accountable." The whole point of this program is for you to feel like you're NOT going through this all alone. You've probably already done that, right? We have live coaching calls, Q+As, support emails, and 24/7 access to the private Facebook group - where you can ask all of your questions and connect with others going through the same process. I can assure you that we will get to know each other very well.
9. Can't I find this information for free online?
Potentially - but you could also find a lot of misguided information blending bits and pieces off the internet and waste even more $$ and time in the long-run. You also won't have any testing to identify what's going on in YOUR unique body. This is the biggest game changer. Please keep in mind, the program is the product of 8 years of study, and multiple client success stories. You won't be able to find anything else packaged in this way to lift away the headache and overwhelm while providing results.
10. Can my local practitioner teach me these things?
Potentially if they have a really good understanding of gut health and digestive issues - and even better if they've been through them themselves. However, as I'm sure you've already experienced, you've been through a handful of practitioners. This has cost you time and money. Most our our HGSB Students have spent years in discomfort and thousands of dollars before working with us. A comment we get often is: "I wish I found you sooner. I could have saved a lot of time and money."
11. Do I need to have specialty/functional testing done before taking these course?
No! Testing is great, but it's important to keep in mind labs don't tell us the whole story. You can spend thousands of dollars on lab tests and not see results. You need to get the *right* kind of testing, and know what to do with those results. Inside of Healin' Guts + Shakin' Butts, we send you a GI MAP Functional Stool Test to perform at home. This is, in my opinion, the best test on the market to identify what is causing your digestive issues. This test is a game changer for my clients. I know it will be for you too.
Pretty much everyone with GI Issues is dealing with an imbalance in the gut microbiome, and this program teaches you how to tackle that with a system that works...and prevent imbalances from coming back.
12. I've already tried probiotics, antimicrobials, HCL, and I eat a clean diet. Yet I still feel sh**. What more could you tell me that I don't already know?
Here's the deal: your digestive system is a system. There are multiple pieces to the puzzle. So although you may have done one or the other, you need a strategy. I can't tell you how many times people have come to me misguided about taking antimicrobials or having been put on "leaky gut protocols". You can eat the cleanest diet in the world, but if we're not breaking down and digesting your food well, it's just going to sit in the GI tract, fermenting and causing more bloating and IBS symptoms. In addition, throwing random antimicrobials at the problem isn't going to work if you don't know what you're even treating. In HGSB, we run testing to identify the what. Then we look at your healthy history to figure out the why, and couple it with our expertise for how to get you feeling better.
13. What is your success rate with HGSB?
Everyone that puts in the effort + makes the most of this experience gets results! If you don't implement the teachings, then you'll stay right where you are. Your success is up to you! I believe in you.
