TESTIMONIALS

Collected over years of clinical practice, these are real stories from patients who found lasting relief - after months or even years of trying everything else.

Tashia Shuey, USA

After being dismissed by doctors - even at the Mayo Clinic - I finally got a proper diagnosis. But even then, other practitioners just focused on “killing” the SIBO and never on healing. The Gut Clinic changed that. Kirsten brought compassion, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of what healing actually requires. She adjusted plans to me, heard things others didn’t, and made me feel safe in the process. I’m no longer scared of relapse, because I finally have the tools and the support I need

Kadie Wozniak, Canada

I’d been to naturopaths, GIs, and tried everything - only to still feel bloated, constipated, and hopeless. Working with The Gut Clinic I got clarity I’d never had before: gentle support, clear education, and a plan that honoured both my gut and my mental wellbeing. Three months later, I was having regular bowel movements, no longer afraid to eat, and more relaxed around food. I finally feel like I’ve stopped managing symptoms - and started living again.

 

Talia Kaye, USA

I’d been sick for 10 years. Nothing worked. Every doctor told me there was nothing more they could do. Then I joined the group program, and everything changed. My bloating went from a 10 to a 2. I lost weight, reduced inflammation, and started feeling proud of my body instead of frustrated with it. I feel so grateful I gave my body the right tools - and for the first time in a decade, I feel like it actually healed.

 

Elizabeth Phillips, USA

The biggest shift I had from this program was education. I’m a science person, and I was blown away by how well everything was explained - finally someone who made the complexity of gut health make sense. I now understand my symptoms, my tests, my treatment, and my body. That confidence has changed the way I approach my health, and it’s something I’ll carry with me for years to come.

Casey Rooney, NZ

After seeing every specialist under the sun and getting nowhere, I stumbled across Kirsten’s Instagram and finally felt hopeful. The group coaching was everything I’d been looking for. Each week I felt heard, supported, and part of something. I looked forward to the sessions because they kept me focused and accountable. More than anything, this program made me want to care for my body again - and I’d tell anyone considering it to invest in themselves and go for it.

 

Caryn Mielke, USA

After 7 years of constant pain, bloating, ER visits, and spending $30,000 trying to get better, I finally cleared SIBO. Two months into the group program and I had my first negative breath test - I cried, my husband cried, my family cried. I feel healthy, confident, present, and free in my body again. I’m training for a race, eating foods I never thought I’d tolerate, and finally see a future beyond chronic illness. I’ll never forget the feeling of getting my life back.

 

Bernadette Furlong, USA

The group program helped me do something I didn’t think was possible: calm my food fear. I’d had SIBO, C. diff, dysbiosis, PTSD, and severe anxiety after a medical trauma. I was scared of food, always in pain, and didn’t know where to turn. What I found in The Gut Clinic’s program was safety, structure, and slow, steady guidance. Now I have one consistent, healthy bowel movement a day. I can try new foods without panic. I know how to calm my system when fear creeps in. That is everything.

Samantha Rogers, Aus

I can’t speak highly enough of Kirsten and The Gut Clinic. After years of bloating, fatigue, and food sensitivities, I finally feel like myself again. Kirsten helped me understand my symptoms in a way no other practitioner had. Her insights gave me hope, and her approach was practical, grounded, and clear. I’ve reintroduced foods I never thought I’d tolerate, and I’m no longer afraid to eat out or travel.

 

Zoe Love, USA

The Gut Clinic helped me turn my life around. I’d been stuck in a cycle of elimination diets, relapses, and anxiety about food. What stood out was the clarity of the explanations - I finally understood why things weren’t working and what to do instead. Now I feel confident, my digestion has improved significantly, and I have the tools to keep myself well.

Ben Henley, USA

Before working with Kirsten, I was overwhelmed and stuck. I had tried every diet, every supplement, and was still constantly bloated and exhausted. The Gut Clinic gave me a step-by-step plan and the reassurance I needed. Within weeks I noticed changes, and now a few months later, I feel energized and clear-headed again.

Joelle Azzopardi, AUS

My life was very restricted before joining the program - I couldn’t even walk 20 minutes without crashing. I had zero social life and was feeling more and more discouraged. The Gut Clinic program was the first time I saw consistent results. I finally understood what my body needed, and I stopped reacting to everything I ate. I’ve now started running again(!!), seeing friends, and just enjoying life. It gave me my independence back

 

Samantha Freiss, USA

After completing the program, I DON'T FEEL SICK ALL THE TIME!!!! I was close to feeling hopeless and then I found Kirsten’s testimony on YouTube. I waited a bit and tried the 'less expensive' route first. I worked with someone local for 6 months, but didn’t see a lot of progress. Once I joined the group program at The Gut Clinic, it finally felt like things were working. I had real guidance and real change.

 

Diana Rozos, USA

My daughter had suffered for 8 years. We’d seen all the best GI specialists and tried every diet, but nothing worked. She was in the bathroom for hours a day, missing school, unable to live like a normal teenager. Working with The Gut Clinic changed everything. We followed the plan, and by the end, she was SIBO free. We can now go out to eat as a family, and she’s enjoying food in a way she hasn’t in years. We call it a miracle.

Sharmila Singh, USA

I felt heard for the first time in years. Every step in the program made sense and was tailored to me. I was able to reintroduce foods I hadn’t touched in ages and finally stopped waking up bloated every morning. The team is amazing - supportive, clear, and always one step ahead.

 

Caitlin Kopinski, USA

I’ve worked with so many practitioners over the years, and none came close to the level of care and detail I received here. I had SIBO, Candida, and hormone issues, and it always felt like one step forward, two steps back. This was the first time someone looked at the whole picture. I didn’t just get better - I understood my body better.

 

Nicole Reynolds, UK

Within two weeks of starting the protocol, my bloating and brain fog began to ease. I hadn’t experienced that kind of relief in over 4 years. The Gut Clinic doesn’t do bandaid solutions - they actually teach you what’s going on and how to keep moving forward.

Anna McLaren, USA

I signed up for the group program feeling like this was my last shot. I’d been stuck in a cycle of trying to fix my gut for 7 years. Within the first month, I saw changes I didn’t think were possible. I could tolerate more food, my skin cleared, and my energy returned. It’s not just the supplements - it’s the way it’s all structured.

 

Chloe Davies, USA

I’d been to 6 practitioners before this. None of them explained what was really going on. The Gut Clinic laid it out so clearly, step by step, and I finally understood why my previous treatments hadn’t worked. I’m not scared of food anymore. That alone was worth it.

 

Michelle Byrne, NZ

I was living in constant pain and couldn’t plan anything around meals. I was cancelling social plans and losing confidence in my body. Working with Kirsten and her team changed my life. I don’t say that lightly. I now eat with ease, I sleep better, and I feel in control for the first time in years.

Chrissy Tait, USA

I’m healthy and athletic, but bloating was ruining my confidence. The online course has helped me understand what’s going on - and for the first time in years, I’m having regular bowel movements. Feels so good to feel normal. 

 

Robyn Sanders, USA

I’m a nurse and had seen multiple specialists before finding this online course. I’ve learned more in the first week than I have in a year of doing my own research. It’s clear, practical, and easy to follow.

 

Katie Redman, USA

My favorite part of the online course? Honestly - Kirsten. She’s warm, funny, and explains things so well. I even make my husband rewatch parts with me.
But also… learning that my symptoms are actually common. It’s been validating and empowering.

Mia Redemo, Sweden

I’d lived with digestive issues for years but kept brushing them off. When I met Kirsten, her energy and knowledge made me feel like it was finally time to do something about it.
It wasn’t always easy - but it changed my life. Both my physical and mental health have improved more than I imagined possible.

 

Luisa Rossi, AUS

I came to The Gut Clinic for bloating and fatigue - and also wanted to lose a bit of weight. We confirmed SIBO, started treatment, and over a few weeks, my symptoms faded and I lost nearly 10kg.
I felt supported the whole way. The online consultations were flexible and easy to manage. I couldn’t have done it without Kirsten’s care.

 

Latifah Sipahutar, Indonesia

I never thought I’d feel this good again. I lost 10kg, feel confident in my body, and know how to make food choices that actually support me.
Kirsten was there every step of the way -answering questions, giving advice, and helping me learn to trust my body. I genuinely like looking in the mirror again.

Celine Brun, France

A year after working with Kirsten, I still feel great. My digestion is strong, my moods are balanced, and I finally feel like I understand how to care for myself.
She supported me through every part of the process -with practical advice, recipes, encouragement, and a sense of calm that made everything feel doable. It was one of the best things I’ve ever done for my health..

 

Kim Summerson, USA

Working with Kirsten exceeded all my expectations. She’s a powerhouse of holistic knowledge, and the way she teaches makes you want to keep going.
I’m no longer punishing my body. I’m feeding it well, and it’s finally responding with balance and ease. I feel proud of how far I’ve come.

 

Bernadette Judd, NZ

For the first time in my adult life, I actually enjoyed December. I’ve walked through hay, driven with the windows down, and even slept with the windows open - with hydrangeas in the room. I used to spend over $500 on natural antihistamines every season. Now I barely need anything.
I’m in the photos this Christmas. My nephew even noticed: “Hey, you came this year! Does that mean you’re getting better?”
Working with Nicole at The Gut Clinic helped me see just how much progress I’ve made - even while some symptoms are still resolving. I’ve got hope again. Happy tears all around.

Tina Gunn, UK

After being dismissed by doctors over and over, I found The Gut Clinic through Instagram and finally felt seen.
Nicole was kind, knowledgeable, and gave me real answers. My SIBO diagnosis brought relief because I finally knew what was wrong. With her help, I cleared it. My bloating and brain fog are gone, and I’m not scared to eat anymore.
If you’re thinking about working with The Gut Clinic: don’t wait. It changed my life physically, mentally, and emotionally. I tell everyone - this is worth it.

 

Jessica Redding-Newhouse, USA

Kirsten knows more about SIBO and gut complexity than anyone I’ve worked with - and she brings humour and warmth to every session.
I used to believe that restrictive diets were helping, but they were actually making things worse.

Now I understand how food diversity supports my microbiome, and I’ve started eating a much wider range of foods without fear.
My inflammation is down, I have more energy, and I feel stronger in every way. I’m proud of how far I’ve come.

 

Ashley Romance, USA

After 19 months of struggling, I’m finally SIBO free!
I got my test results and burst into tears. Please give Dr. Nicole the biggest hug ever from Montana - she made this possible.

Amber Ferguson, USA

I’m feeling 90–95% better. That’s not an exaggeration.
You gave me my life back - and I’ll always be grateful. I can’t believe how far I’ve come. I feel like myself again, something I honestly didn’t think was possible.

 

Elizabeth Holtom, UK

I’m amazed at how many different plant foods I’m now incorporating into my diet.
I’ve learned that sleep, water, and fiber make a huge difference in my digestion. These things weren’t a priority before - but now I see how essential they are.

 

Nadine Rohner, Switzerland

I thought I was eating healthy - but I wasn’t.
Now I understand food in a completely new way. My energy is way up, my bloating is way down, and my skin is totally clear. No more sugar cravings, no more confusion.
I learned to read labels, eat for my body, and actually feel good again. It was a challenge - but Kirsten guided me through it every step of the way.

Kristi Fonseca, USA

Before working with Kirsten, I felt disgusted with my body every single day. Bloating ruled my life. It affected my marriage, my kids, my work.
After the program, I feel more confident, less scared of food, and finally in control.
I learned so much. Kirsten is a fountain of knowledge, and she shares it in such a kind, empowering way. I’m truly grateful.

 

 

Tammie Wardle, AUS

Reading Kirsten’s story was like reading my own. It was the first time something truly clicked.
She took the time to actually get to the bottom of what was going on. She’s warm, passionate, and deeply invested in helping you heal.
Now? My energy is high, my bloating is minimal, the brain fog is gone, and I feel like I’m actually living life instead of just getting through the day. I’ll be forever thankful.

 

Ashley Walsh, USA

For 12 years, I avoided so many amazing moments in life - because of my gut.
I left career opportunities, social events, even relationships, because I was too embarrassed by my symptoms. I saw dozens of doctors and cried more times than I can count.
Finding Kirsten gave me hope again. For the first time, I felt like someone actually understood - and had a way forward.

Rebekah Ravonsheed, Norway 

I was so sick of being sick. The bloating, the on-and-off constipation - it was constant.
Now I have more energy, regular bowel movements, and can eat a wide variety of foods without reacting. That’s been my biggest strength: food freedom.
Working with Kirsten gave me my life back.

 

Catherine Wilson, AUS

I’d spent my whole life on a diet, but never really felt in control of food - or my body. I was constantly thinking about my next meal.
Now, I sleep through the night. I’m not hungry all the time. I don’t wake up in pain.
Most of all, I learned which foods affect me - not what some generic diet says. I’ve never felt better: physically, mentally, and emotionally.

 

Alma Rewi, NZ

I had tried so many diets, but nothing stuck - until I worked with Kirsten.
Her energy and excitement made me feel like I could actually do this.
Having someone who really understood digestive issues made all the difference. I feel alive again. Thank you, Kirsten.

Monique Di Santo, AUS

Kirsten was my last hope - and thank goodness I found her.
She’s been so helpful, positive, and knowledgeable throughout. I now have the tools and confidence to keep working toward a healthier gut.
She truly changes lives.

 

Allison Trimpe, USA

Kirsten is the most knowledgeable naturopath I’ve ever worked with.
She picked up on things that every other practitioner overlooked - and those were the exact things I needed help with. Her expertise is on another level.

 

Natalie Anderson, USA

I’ve always had questions about SIBO that no one could really answer - until now.
Understanding why SIBO happens has helped me feel less confused and more empowered. I’m also eating more mindfully and noticing a big shift in how I digest.

Katie Weyer, USA 

My favorite part of the online course? Honestly - Kirsten. She’s warm, funny, and explains things so well. I even make my husband rewatch parts with me.
But also… learning that my symptoms are actually common. It’s been validating and empowering.

 

Carrie Forbes, UK

This course is packed with so much knowledge, I actually felt giddy. Learning how to interpret test results, understanding herbal treatment strategies, knowing what symptoms mean - it’s all here. Everything is explained in a way that makes it empowering instead of overwhelming. I’m obsessed.

Anne Thompson, USA

I have completely changed my relationship to food and cooking now.  It used be something I feared, and gave me such anxiety.  Now it's something I can do often and with peace of mind. 

Naomi Barker, NZ 

I feel like a miracle has just happened.  My heart is overflowing with gratitude.  I am astounded that my tummy is almost flat again even after eating a meal with foods that use to scare me.  In so many ways I feel I am reaching a homeostasis; better energy, better moods, and feel like I'm thriving in wellness!

 

Carrie Forbes, UK

I really loved how you talk about where we should be and how different it is for everyone.  I am a very scheduled person, so I was starting to doubt my healing!  Now I'm not!  I have come so far!  Overall it just makes me so happy that you really focus on the entire individual and not just the condition. Thank you!

Katharina Weiss, Canada

Week 4 of the course was a huge moment for me. I finally understood how things like histamine intolerance and inflammation were affecting my body. I loved how Kirsten explained everything with such warmth and depth. She makes complex topics easy to absorb - and enjoyable, too.

Rhonda Kay, USA 

If you haven't worked with Kirsten, you haven't "tried everything"!  I worked on myself with another naturopath for 2 years. Now after three months of working with her I no longer see undigested food in my #2's, no more night sweats, I sleep better, and am eating so many more foods. I LOVE you Kirsten!  You are amazing!  Thank you so much. 

 

Fiona Obrien, USA

I was able to wear my old work pants TWICE this week! Woo hoo!  And my husband and I were able to cook and eat the same meal together.  This is HUGE as I have mostly been cooking and eating meals separately. It felt so good to feel part of the family again.  I didn't realise how secluded I had become. 

Heather Ozerkov, USA

I have learned so many tools that have allowed me to heal!  My husband and I both see the positive changes that have taken place since starting the program.  He was hesitant at first, but now so glad I joined :)  Health makes life, marriage, relationships, and moods all so much better easier to thrive with! 

Helen Evje, Norway

Not a day goes by without me being THANKFUL for all your knowledge and how you helped me. I remember you telling me about your naturopath training with the "10 deep breath challenge" in our first session. That was two years ago and I still think about it, especially before meals and when I'm feeling stressed. And yeeeh, I'm still SIBO free :)

 

Sabrina Faye, USA

You are so knowledgeable, kind, funny and supportive. You clearly enjoy helping people sort out what is really going on and making sure they are getting better.  I have less stomach aches, pain and gas.  I've lot a bit of extra fat.  I'm feeling so so good. 

Tammy Welsh, AUS

Wooooohoooooo!!!!! I feel so good!!!! Thank you so much, I feel absolutely amazing. Joining your program was the best decision I ever made. Gosh, when I look back at the last 8 weeks & I thought I was feeling great, That just getting through the day, now I know I feel great. I see it within my body changing due to the minimal bloating, my energy levels, no brain fog, eating & exercising right.  Life is great. Thank you so much, you have taught me so much.  Forever grateful. 

Gabriela Bogner, USA

I just wanted to get on here to give a big shout out to Kirsten Greene. I have yet to come across a Doctor who put as much compassion, thoughtfulness, and effort into their work as she does.  I have worked with some of the 'best' doctors out there and none of them even come close to comparing to her. She truly takes the time out of her day to educate us on the reason behind everything. Most doctors don't provide nearly the amount of educational facts or exert the loving bubbly energy that she does.

 

Sarah Armstrong, USA

Kirsten completely changed the way I look at food and gut health. I spent over 20 years afraid to eat, constantly bloated, and never knowing what would trigger me. No doctor ever mentioned SIBO - until Kirsten. She explained it all so clearly and gave me tools that actually worked. For the first time, I feel like I’m in control of how I feel. She’s knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely understands what you’re going through because she’s been through it herself.

Sam Barrett, USA

I am so, so grateful I found Kirsten!!! Kirsten is so knowledgeable, personable, and dedicated to making you feel your best. I have been suffering from digestive issues for as long as I can remember--chronic constipation, stomach cramps, fatigue, bloating, brain fog, mood swings, anxiety, trouble sleeping and the list goes on and on. I was diagnosed with SIBO a few years ago and had been feeling so badly for so long. It wasn't until I started working with Kirsten that I finally turned a corner. Kirsten took the time to listen to all of my concerns - and I do mean all. Anything that I felt was less than ideal Kirsten took into consideration.  Everything was tailored to my specific needs and I felt heard, supported, and taken care of. Plus she is absolutely hilarious and I found myself looking forward to our weekly video conferences each week. At the end of our 3 months working together I got the best news - I was SIBO free!!!! So so grateful.

Bronwyn Samson, USA

For anyone on the fence, DO KIRSTEN'S PROGRAM. I tried naturopaths, surgeons, functional GPs, allergy clinics, blah blah...15 years later, I honestly had 1% hope left when starting this. Like literally couldn't even make goals or have dreams anymore.  Was surreal when I cleared SIBO on the first round. Periods became regular a few months later. 1 year on, I'm eating all the fruits and veges, and the histamine drama is almost gone. Can eat onions without my gut cramping up. My family are commenting on how much more I'm able to do with them and my spontaneity is coming back - a part of my personality I'd long suppressed. Literally begging my friends with gut issues to do this. With previous practitioners, I'd always been made to feel guilty or gaslit. It's different here, and they customise it to match your pace and situation.  DON'T EVER GIVE UP ON HEALING. I missed out on my 20s, but my 30s are going to be epic. x

Tammie Wardle, AUS

My journey started very late one night, scrolling through Instagram finding people who where bloated & what they were doing to try & solve their issues.  I was about to give up when Kirsten came up on my feed.  I could relate with everything she was saying, it was like a light bulb had just went off. Doing her program has been the best decision I have ever made.  Kirsten is absolutely amazing, she takes the time to really get to bottom of your issues. She genuinely cares about you & how she can help you, she is warm, caring & passionate about her job. I feel amazing my energy is high, no more brain fog & feeling yuck, but most important to me, my bloating is now down to a minimum. I feel like before Kirsten's program I was just getting through life, now I am living life to the fullest, so happy. I feel like Kirsten come into my life at the right time & I will be forever thankful.Thank you so much Kirsten, you are amazing.

Rosalie James, Canda

Where to begin. Let me cut to the chase, if you are considering working with Kirsten, DO IT. I have worked with countless practitioners and spent too much money to count trying to 'fix' my health however it hasn't been until working alongside Kirsten that I have achieved the results I have. I now live a full life without food fear. I know what works for me, not the general population! I have a zest for life I honestly didn't know was possible, I feel so excited about the future. If you are struggling with SIBO and regardless of doing all the 'right' things cannot budge any unwanted weight you MUST work with Kirsten. You will not regret it! There is more to life than waking up worrying about what you are going to eat and how it will make you feel. Follow the protocol and get your life back! What a bonus that Kirsten also happens to be the coolest chick that genuinely wants to help you, its actually like working with a friend!

Tania Withers, USA

I am so proud that after 10 plus years of feeling terrible that my body was able to heal in 2 months.  After seeing doctor after doctor and hearing them all basically say there is nothing else they can do for me, I was ready to say this is just how I am suppose to feel.  But I found Kirsten on Instagram one day after searching for SIBO (I was actually trying to find a support group). I thought maybe one more doctor. One more shot. Maybe she can help me. And I’m so happy I did it!  Working with Kirsten was amazing, she listened. Never judged. And always guided me. She looks at the whole body.  After completing the program I now have a better understanding of my body,  minimal bloating and I've lost weight/inflammation that I thought I would never get rid of.  My gut and whole body is feeling much better.  I am now appreciating my body for what it has accomplished. I am so proud that after 10 plus years of feeling terrible that my body was able to heal in 2 months. I just had to give it the right things and time to heal.

 

Amanda Saunders, USA

I spent years trying to find answers to the symptoms I was having. From seeing a local gastroenterologist to going to the Mayo Clinic, I was dismissed at every turn.  I finally received my SIBO diagnosis after meeting with 2 different naturopaths who were solely focused on the kill phase and not repairing my gut.  My greatest fear has always been recurrence.  Once I met and began working with Kirsten that fear was eased.  Kirsten is knowledgeable and compassionate and very attentive to things said and unsaid. She is encouraging and adjusts treatment and food plans with individual focus per client.  It is so helpful to know she comes from a place of experience and has suffered the same path.  She sympathises with the struggles and celebrates in the progress.  I am most grateful for working with her in my healing journey.
