How the Gut Reset Programme Works
The programme follows a structured three-month pathway, with each phase building on the previous one. This systematic approach ensures that your gut healing is thorough and sustainable, rather than superficial.
Month 1: Assessment and Foundation
The programme begins with a comprehensive 60-minute health assessment. Elena reviews your full medical history, current symptoms, diet, lifestyle, stress levels, and any existing test results. This assessment identifies the likely root causes of your symptoms and establishes the baseline for your personalised plan.
Based on this assessment, you receive your initial nutrition strategy — focusing on reducing gut inflammation, removing key triggers, and introducing gut-supportive foods. A personalised supplementation schedule is created to support the healing process from day one.
Month 2: Targeted Intervention
By month two, initial dietary changes have begun to take effect. The 45-minute follow-up consultation reviews your progress, adjusts the plan based on your response, and introduces the next phase of targeted interventions. This may include specific protocols for SIBO, candida overgrowth, or other identified imbalances.
The supplementation schedule is reviewed and adjusted based on how your body is responding. This iterative approach ensures that your plan evolves with you, rather than remaining static.
Month 3: Consolidation and Long-Term Strategy
The final month focuses on consolidating your progress and building a sustainable long-term strategy. The consultation reviews your overall improvement, addresses any remaining symptoms, and creates a maintenance plan that you can follow independently.
This phase also discusses food reintroduction strategies, long-term dietary principles, and when to consider additional testing — such as gut microbiome testing — to further optimise your results.
Why a Structured Programme Works Better Than One-Off Consultations
Gut healing is not a linear process. Symptoms fluctuate, dietary changes need fine-tuning, and supplementation protocols require adjustment based on your body's response. A single consultation can provide a starting point, but without follow-up, many people lose momentum or make changes that are not quite right for their situation.
The 3-month structure provides accountability, expert guidance at each stage, and the flexibility to adapt your plan as your gut responds. This is particularly important for complex cases involving multiple food sensitivities, long-standing IBS, or gut issues that are affecting other systems like energy, mood, or hormones.
Combining the Gut Reset with Testing
While the Gut Reset Programme can be highly effective on its own, some clients benefit from combining it with testing for a more targeted approach. A functional health assessment can reveal blood-based markers of inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and metabolic imbalances. Gut microbiome testing provides precise data on your bacterial composition, allowing for highly targeted dietary and supplementation recommendations.
Elena can advise on whether testing would add value to your programme during the initial assessment or discovery call.
