The Gut Mastery Course

Bloating, food reactions, altered bowel habits, reflux, fatigue, brain fog, skin symptoms. Patients arrive with a history of elimination diets, inconclusive testing, and a working self-diagnosis. This course gives you the differential framework, testing rationale, treatment sequencing, and referral criteria to work through that complexity with clinical confidence.

Updated for the current gut-health landscape

Gut and microbiome science move quickly. This course is built to reflect current clinical conversations around SIBO, IMO, SIFO, and ISO classification; breath-testing interpretation; responsible IgG food sensitivity testing; intestinal permeability and zonulin; IBS and the gut-brain axis; long-term FODMAP sustainability; Akkermansia and next-generation probiotics; strain-specific probiotic evidence; biofilm-targeted treatment; and post-infectious and post-viral gut presentations, including gut symptoms after COVID and other systemic illness.

The objective is not to track every new microbiome trend. It is to develop a decision process that adapts as the evidence changes.

From gut protocols to gut clinical reasoning

Many clinicians are taught gut care as a series of interventions. Remove this. Replace that. Add this probiotic. Repair the lining. Retest later. Those steps can be useful, but only when connected to a clear assessment first. This course focuses on the full clinical sequence.

Differentiate

Clarify whether the patient's symptoms point to allergy, sensitivity, intolerance, FODMAP reaction, IBS, intestinal permeability, SIBO, IMO, SIFO, ISO, inflammatory disease, medication effect, or a referral-level concern.

Test carefully

Using intestinal permeability concepts responsibly in patient education and clinical planning, including the current state of the evidence.

Interpret responsibly

Evaluate IgG, zonulin, breath testing, stool testing, and organic-acid testing without overclaiming certainty.

Treat sequentially

Match interventions to the likely driver, patient tolerance, evidence, scope, and safety considerations.

Reassess

Use symptom tracking, retesting decisions, follow-up cadence, and referral thresholds to guide next steps.

What you'll be able to do

Build a structured gut differential before reaching for testing, elimination, or treatment.

Discuss semaglutide and tirzepatide with enough professional literacy to educate, refer, and co-manage — within scope.

Use IgG food sensitivity testing and elimination diets more selectively and contextually.

Apply Rome IV-style thinking to IBS presentations and account for the gut-brain axis.

Differentiate SIBO, IMO, SIFO, and ISO, and interpret glucose and lactulose breath testing more carefully.

Compare pharmaceutical and botanical treatment options and sequence gut repair appropriately.

Choose probiotic strategies based on presentation, tolerance, and treatment stage — and recognise when probiotics may worsen symptoms.

What's included

Prescribing-clinician communication templates
GLP-1 co-management checklists
Referral guides
Protein and sarcopenia-risk tools
Micronutrient checklists
Six patient scenario workflows.

The full track, or a single course

Individual courses answer focused questions. The full track teaches you how those questions connect. A patient on a GLP-1 medication may also carry sarcopenia risk, gut symptoms, micronutrient gaps, and a disordered-eating pattern at the same time. Treating each in isolation misses the case. The value of the full track is seeing the whole picture.

The integrative role

Gut care is strongest when practitioners can work across both conventional and naturopathic perspectives. A patient may need rifaximin, a botanical protocol, a prokinetic, a low-FODMAP trial, motility support, stress regulation, or referral for colonoscopy. The clinical skill is knowing which belongs first.

From weight-loss advice to clinical co-management

The course is built around six real-world patient presentations.

How to discuss expectations, referral, risks, benefits, nutritional preparation, and the role of lifestyle before medication begins.
