Get you free Healthy Gut Guide:
Gut Health Nutritionist
If you’re here, chances are you are looking for a lasting solution for your chronic digestive symptoms. Whether you’re dealing with constipation, bloating, burping, gas, loose stools, heart burn, nausea or camps, you just want your digestion to do its job quietly in the background and leave you alone, like it’s supposed to.
Or you have an actual diagnosis like IBS, SIBO, GERD, Crohn’s Disease, Celiac Disease, Diverticulosis, Colitis, Esophagitis, Peptic Ulcer Disease, Gastritis, Hiatal hernia, Esophagitis, Barrett’s esophagus, you name it. You’ve been to all the specialists and were given pills to manage symptoms, but no-one talked much about what to eat! Or let alone how to heal the gut.
You may not know what to eat because “everything” seems to trigger symptoms. Maybe you have read about leaky gut and you feel you have food sensitivities, but don’t know where to start. Or you have tried various elimination diets but none have worked 100%. And then symptoms return as soon as you reintroduce foods.
Good for you for not giving up looking for answers. Because you know there has to be a better way. And there is.
You can heal your gut, rebalance your microbiome, and feel like yourself again. That’s why you’re here—and I’m here to guide you.
My Story
Hi, I am Brigitta, Integrative and Functional Nutritionist specializing in gut health and digestive disorders.
I have helped hundreds of people like you with the 5R functional medicine program, a personalized approach to discovering and eliminating the root cause of digestive disfunction.
My passion for digestive health stems from my own experience healing myself and family members. While looking for answers for eczema I discovered the gut-skin connection. I was able to eliminate eczema by addressing food sensitivities, leaky gut and shifting the microbiome.
Then I discovered the gut-brain connection when a family member’s fatigue and anxiety markedly improved by healing the gut. Her weight normalized without change in caloric intake, energy returned to normal and brain fog disappeared. There is also a gut-lung connection, meaning allergies and asthma are linked to leaky gut and gut inflammation. Studies show a gut-thyroid connection. And a gut-autoimmunity connection. And so on this journey I realized there is a gut connection to most health issues and it became the primary focus of my nutrition practice today.
Like Hippocrates famously said: “All Disease begins in the Gut.”

Brigitta is the absolute BEST. She is incredibly knowledgable; and no health problem or concern is too hard for her to get to the bottom of. She is absolutely amazing, and has helped my stomach problems more than anyone has in the past!
Due to many chronic symptoms, I had been implementing an elimination diet with a national meal plan and food/body educational program. As I started to reintroduce foods back in, I had so much difficulty trying to stabilize my GI symptoms and stop the rapid weight loss I was experiencing that it was clear I needed individual attention and support from an experienced nutritionist. Healing the gut has appeared to eliminate other chronic conditions. I couldn’t feel as well as I do now if it wasn’t for working with Brigitta.
I’ve had GI issues for as long as I can remember. I became increasingly fed up with the lack of answers/help from my gastroenterologist, even after multiple procedures and being prescribed medications to take twice a day. I wanted to understand why I was having the problems I did despite a healthy diet and active lifestyle.
From my first meeting with Brigitta, I knew her holistic approach would be different. With her guidance, I stopped taking the prescribed medications and started on natural supplements that were much more effective and didn’t leave me feeling bloated or sluggish. Through some simple dietary modifications, and later a food sensitivity test, Brigitta was able to determine what my body wasn’t processing and helped me alter my diet in a way that works for me. I feel so much better. In addition, without putting any effort into calorie counts, I have lost 5 lbs as a result without any other changes.
There is so much that can be done through diet to help with general wellness and combating health issues. If you’ve wondered if it would be worth it to meet with a highly effective nutritionist, I highly recommend that you meet with Brigitta. She has honestly made such an improvement in my life.
