Feeling stuck? it might be because...

you're not getting to the root cause
You might not want to hear this but eating 1200 calories, doing fasted workouts, and taking random supplements won't solve years of bad habits. Poor gut health, a congested liver, or overworked adrenals need a closer look. Functional lab testing gives you a direct look into what's going on with your gut, liver, hormones, minerals, thyroid, and adrenals. No guessing, no "normal" symptoms, and no "normal" lab results.

Your body doesn't feel safe
Healing your gut or your adrenals is great, but you can't do this if your nervous system is telling your body that it's not safe to heal. Survival mode keeps the body stuck in managing the external environment (surviving), without giving it time to actually heal. It will also keep you stuck in automatic habits which are, 9 times out of 10, unhealthy. If you've ever engaged in coping behaviors like numbing with food, TV, or alcohol, then you know exactly what I'm talking about.

You're cycling between 'healthy' and 'unhealthy'
You might have a good month when you're able to eat healthy, workout, and stay on track, but then some small inconvenience happens are you're back at square one, eating junk food and turning into a couch potato. I've been there, and I'm here to tell you it's not because you're not motivated enough -it's because you're stuck in survival patterns, and unconscious behaviors always win when you're there. Addressing repressed emotions and trauma are key to getting out of these cycles, which is what we do in Gut + Feeling with the help of Neo Emotional Release sessions.

You are symptom chasing
Symptoms are your body's way of telling you something is wrong, but they can be very far downstream from the actual cause of the issue. Taking pills or supplements for a particular symptom might make the symptom go away for a while, but the root cause will remain present and will manifest as another symptom further down the line. This is why I follow the 'test, don't guess' approach: with the right functional lab tests we can get much closer to the actual dysfunction and target it with the right foods, behaviors, and supplements.

Hey, I'm Atena

I am a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, and a Neo Emotional Release Practitioner (in training).

 

I created Gut + Feeling because I spent over a decade trying to sort out my own health issues, and I didn’t want you to have to go through the same thing. 

When I was 20 I started taking hormonal birth control, which led to having really bad hives all over my body. I stopped the HBC but the damage was already done, and the hives became a part of my life. I went to allergists, GI doctors, and I got to a point where I was taking 5 anti-histamines a day -but nothing was helping. With the help of a functional doctor I discovered I had SIBO, a parasite, candida, and metabolic dysfunction. And yes, working with him healed my hives, but the protocol was so intense and I felt absolutely horrible. I just knew there had to be another way.

So I spent years and thousands of dollars researching, getting certifications, and building a program that I could be proud of -and that would give women like you amazing results without having to hate your life in the process. 

And now I can finally say that this is the program that would’ve taken my 12 year health journey and turned it into a few months to a year -and I hope it will do exactly that for you. 

What is gut + feeling about?

Functional lab testing

We start by looking at digestion, minerals and heavy metals first, so we can identify the basic healing opportunities for your body. If need be we can also take a look at your hormones, adrenal health, liver function, mucosal barrier integrity, and more, depending on which level of testing you choose. All done from the comfort of your home.

Neo Emotional Release sessions

Your body cannot heal if it does not feel safe, and your nervous system plays a key role in this. Repressed emotions and unresolved trauma will keep your body in a survival state, creating an obstacle in your healing. Through the Neo Emotional Release technique we create safety in the body and allow emotions and trauma to come to the surface in their own time, focusing on establishing a new relationship with them.

1:1 Coaching

Healing the body and processing emotions can be an overwhelming process when done on your own. Together we will meet twice a month and I will provide guidance, course correction, and feedback -all in an effort to make this process as smooth as possible for you.

Personalized nutrition and supplement protocol

One man’s food is another man’s poison, and the same goes for supplements. Based on your history, lab results, and symptoms we will create a personalized nutrition and supplement protocol that will serve YOUR body and what it needs to heal. No diet, no calorie counting -just wellness.

Recorded Lab Interpretations

Seeing your lab results for the first time can be confusing, and hearing the interpretation can actually be very overwhelming. That’s why you’ll receive a recorded video of your lab interpretations, giving you the time to really listen and come up with any questions you might have -no rush, no taking notes and trying to figure out what everything means. Just simple, easy to understand information.

Unlimited text support

There will be plenty of times when you have questions and can’t wait until our next session. That’s why I’ll be there with you every step of the way through text messages -kind of like having your own chatbot to answer any health and wellness question you might have.
