Gut Health Is Mental Health
At Happy Gut Healthy Mind Nutrition, I use a root-cause approach to gut health and holistic wellness, providing nutritional therapy and GAPS Protocol guidance to support mood balance, emotional resilience, cognitive clarity, and overall well-being.
Because the gut and brain are deeply interconnected, improving digestive health is often the key to restoring emotional stability and mental clarity.
How I Support the Gut–Brain Connection
By treating the gut as the foundation of mental wellness, I use evidence-based, bio-individual strategies to address the underlying causes of:
Digestive issues
Chronic inflammation
Blood sugar and metabolic imbalance
Long-standing mood and emotional challenges
Chronic disease and nervous system dysregulation
Personalized Support for Long-Term Healing
Whether you're exploring the GAPS Diet, pursuing targeted nutritional therapy, or needing ongoing, structured support for long-term healing, you’ll receive:
Personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations
Support for the gut-brain connection
Guidance rooted in traditional, nutrient-dense principles
Practical tools for sustainable, long-term transformation
My goal is to help you heal the gut so your mind and body can function with clarity, calm, and resilience.
“Stephanie is AWESOME. There is no way I could not have gone through GAPS without guidance, and hers was stellar.
She is incredibly knowledgeable, versatile, flexible, accessible, enthusiastic, and to boot - compassionate and kind. She made things simple to understand, but doesn't shy away from the complicated stuff; her ability and willingness to think through the personal minutia, while holding the big picture is truly remarkable. She expertly supported me while I made my family of 6 work through GAPS and when one of my kids struggled, she was attentive, offered immediate solutions (which worked!) and was amazingly encouraging, which helped us to work through a challenge without losing ground on the whole project. Stephanie is so easy to relate to, and makes GAPS that way as well. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone wanting guidance with this diet.”

“Stephanie is an incredible GAPS practitioner. I truly could not do this without her help.
When I was shopping around for GAPS practitioners, a lot of what I found were very expensive coaching packages that had a lot of unnecessary fluff. Stephanie keeps it simple, thorough, and affordable, which I really appreciate. Her coaching format was exactly what I was looking for—she sets you up with a GAPS plan tailored to your unique needs and circumstances and is available to answer questions as they come up. She is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend her services!”
