6-week group programME

Feel good again with this nutrition and lifestyle programme that will seed your gut microbiome, and change your mood, energy and physical health.

Gut Feeling

Next round: 9th September – 20th October 2024 

your gut health IS FOUNDATIONAL TO your physical & mental health.

If you’re feeling like sh*t and aren’t finding the relief you want, the answer may well be in your gut. This programme can help with:

Physical Conditions

01

Untreated gut imbalance and intolerances can lead to pain, inflammation, and a host of hormonal, digestive, skin and autoimmune conditions. By reducing the toxic overload in your body and resetting your system, we can significantly improve your symptoms, naturally.

Mental Health

02

Maybe you’re exhausted but can’t sleep. Maybe you’re irritable, dragging or anxious all the time, and hate how it’s affecting your life and relationships. Your biochemistry and brain are intricately linked - by changing how you feed your body, we change the way you feel in your mind.

Food & Body

03

Whether you’re stuck in a vicious cycle of stress eating, want to overcome cravings and addictions, or want to shed some excess weight without continuous restriction, this programme can give you the knowledge, tools, and reboot you need to overhaul your relationship with food.

NUTRITIONAL THERAPIST, Vanessa Marescialli

You are what you eat, but more precisely, what you absorb.

As someone who has struggled with physical and mental health, it was such a relief when I learnt that I didn’t have to be on medication forever - I could change my health by changing the way I fuelled my body.

That knowledge empowered me to work with not against my biochemistry, to use food as my medicine, and to make kinder, smarter choices that ultimately changed my life.

Through this nutrient-dense food and lifestyle programme, we’ll be planting the seeds of change for a flourishing gut garden, one that will nourish your brain and body, and change the wiring of your physiology, thoughts, behaviours - one manageable step at a time.

Gut Feeling is a 6-week nutrition & lifestyle programme that includes:

client love

“As someone who’s struggled with her weight, I was worried that I’d just be told to eat less or try harder. But Vanessa showed me that it’s not my fault, that my body just wasn't functioning as it should. She gave me hope made it all so doable. If you’re looking for tailored, science-based nutritional support instead of the faddy, one-size-fits-all advice out there, Vanessa’s the one.”

FAQ

  • Once purchased, you will receive a welcome email. In this there will be a link for you to book your desired date/time in Vanessa’s diary for your initial 30 minute call. Look out for the welcome email and if not received, please check your Spam folder and contact us for any technical issues at hello@vanessamarescialli.com.

  • The programme is adapted to your personal needs and additional resources can be shared, if relevant. Inflammation is well-documented in the scientific literature as an underlying cause of many autoimmune conditions and chronic fatigue. This plan reduces the toxic overload on your body and will allow your digestive system to reset, which will significantly improve your symptoms.

  • The purpose of the programme is to replenish and restore your gut microbiome, and strengthen your digestive function - not weight loss, specifically.

    Most people will, as a happy by-product of the nutritional focus, lose between 4-5.5 kgs over these weeks, however some people may lose more (or less) depending on their starting weight and current lifestyle and diet.

    Sticking to the correct portion sizes and meal times will have a big impact on your final results. The most important element of this programme is that it helps you examine your relationship with food, understand cravings and begin new, healthier habits.

  • Yes, so long as you have the go ahead from your doctor. We will make adjustments to your meal plans to ensure nutrient density without compromising your caloric needs.

  • If you’re unable to make a live session, a recording will be available for replay. You can also submit any questions ahead of the session and I’ll respond to you there.

  • In order to get the most out of this programme, the emphasis is on whole foods and preparing your own meals is recommended. However, it is still possible to get good results using precut and packaged vegetables if it saves you time.

    You will receive a selection of delicious and simple recipe ideas that you can adapt to your own preferences within the limits of the programme. Meals are based around proteins and vegetables so you can make your meals as interesting or as simple as you like.

    If your current diet is heavy on take-aways, oven-ready meals, restaurant meals, cafe snacks and packaged treats, then yes, it will feel like you need to do more cooking and food prep. However, once you get organised and plan for your meals, you will quickly fall into a lovely rhythm.

  • That depends on how you are currently spending on groceries. It’s likely that you will be spending more on some organic vegetables and better quality protein sources but once you find the supermarkets, or brands that suit your budget and lifestyle then it should be comparable and if you’re really committed, you could even make some savings.

  • Supplements are not necessary to complete the programme. Many clients ask about what supportive supplements I recommend so I include an introduction to some foundational support.

    For those wanting a deeper experience I am happy to share individualised advanced support subject to completion of our initial call and the health history and medications review.

    For those interested to purchase the brands I have recommended, you may do so through the Natural Dispensary and if you provide my name, Vanessa Marescialli, as your practitioner then you will receive a 10% discount on your purchase.
