Feeling sluggish, stressed, and tired of dealing with digestive issues and skin troubles? Imagine waking up rested and energized with radiant skin, mental clarity, and peace. Imagine feeling comfortable in your body throughout the day with the freedom to confidently and intuitively eat the foods you enjoy, without constant bloating or constipation after every meal. 

I personally struggled for 10 years with symptoms that conventional medical doctors couldn’t explain: acne, bloating, fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, gas, abdominal pain, and constipation. As soon as I started working with Dr. Daryl Gioffre, a holistic gut health leader and renowned gut inflammation specialist, it became clear that the root cause was a gut disorder known as leaky gut. 

Dr. Gioffre was pivotal in helping me finally heal. He not only understood leaky gut but also experienced it firsthand with symptoms like sinus issues, brain fog, and acid reflux. We were recently asked on NBC California Live why gut health isn’t being addressed enough in conventional healthcare. Dr. Gioffre said that conventional medicine chases symptoms instead of addressing the root cause. A staggering two thirds of Americans struggle with a chronic illness related to gut health. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, said look to the gut—it’s where all disease begins. 

As dear friends who both suffered with leaky gut and healed ourselves naturally, Dr. Gioffre and I poured our hearts into co-creating our Inner Alchemy Gut Health Masterclass. We share our experiences in the video below and explain what makes our masterclass uniquely transformative for reclaiming your health.

Understanding Leaky Gut

Your gut is what Dr. Gioffre and I call your first brain. Your gut microbiome houses millions of strains of gut flora that transmit millions of two-way signals between your gut and brain. Your gut-brain connection regulates not only digestion but also immunity, mental health, brain function, stress response, weight management, and appetite. 

A healthy gut supports the most vibrant and optimal version of YOU. But here’s the problem: the toxicity of the modern world is sabotaging our guts.

Your gut is under attack 24/7 as your body’s first line of defense against toxins in the air, water, and soil of our modern world. Toxins eat their way through your gut, causing permeability in your intestinal lining, allowing toxins and undigested food particles to “leak” out of the gut. Along with these toxins, pollutants, pathogens, processed foods, stress, and antibiotics disrupt the delicate balance of your gut microbiome, causing gut inflammation and weakening your gut lining. Antibiotics, which have their place as a last resort, tend to be overprescribed and wreak havoc on your gut microbiome. Studies link antibiotic overuse to depression, ADHD, and ADD. 

Leaky gut triggers chronic inflammation, showing up as symptoms on your skin: psoriasis, eczema, rosacea—and in my case—cystic acne, hives, and dermatitis. As Dr. Gioffre says, if you want to heal your skin, fix your gut.

A Holistic Roadmap To The Health You Deserve 

If you have been battling challenges with your mood, digestion, skin, or energy, now is the time to unlock the health you know you deserve.

Most people don’t realize that the root cause of their health challenges is in the gut. Before I learned I had a leaky gut, I was desperate for answers and explanations behind all of my symptoms, especially my bloating, anxiety, fatigue, and brain fog. I thought I was doing everything right (eating healthy, drinking green juices) and was told that everything was “fine” and after seeing 11 different doctors. But no one asked me once about my gut health. 

Then, I met Dr. Daryl Gioffre, who immediately recognized that I needed to heal my gut, starting with a GI map, and address what was damaging my gut: stress, chronic anxiety, and the Standard American Diet (SAD).

Nourishing and healing your gut helps your body naturally thrive, boosting productivity, balancing hormones, relieving digestive discomfort, and transforming your quality of life.

Our Inner Alchemy Gut Health Masterclass is not just a typical diet or wellness program—it’s a complete roadmap that sets you up for successful gut healing, guided by my lifestyle and knowledge as a holistic chef and Dr. Gioffre’s science-backed expertise as a gut health & inflammation specialist who has helped over 150,000 patients naturally heal their guts without the use of potentially addictive and dangerous drugs. We delve into 13 modules, 41 videos, and a 300-page PDF packed with tools and strategies on nutrient-dense & gut-friendly gourmet ingredients, culinary skills & chef secrets, targeted supplements & curated medical tests, toxin & pathogen elimination, stress management tools, and holistic lifestyle habits.

Healing Is Possible: Here’s What You Can Do 

In the second part of our segment, Dr. Gioffre and I share a few clean eating tips for healing your gut.

Probiotics 

Our Ultimate Guide to Supplements in the Inner Alchemy Gut Health Masterclass will lead you through the complex world of supplements, teaching you how to choose and integrate the right supplements into a nutrient-rich diet that supports your gut health.

Dr. Gioffre says that you cannot supplement your way out of CRAP (completely refined and processed) but we need probiotics as supplements because modern humans only get about one millionth of the probiotics that our ancestors did. There are 10 times more bacteria than cells in our guts, and they are constantly under attack. Probiotics (meaning: “for life”) nurture the good bacteria of our gut microbiome, which are crucial for keeping our guts healthy and strong.

An 80% plant based diet gives you most of the prebiotics you need from foods like onions, leeks, and jicama. Fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut naturally contain probiotics that help to nourish the microbiome.

Stress-Free Mornings With Olive Oil Lemon Gut Health Shot

Our masterclass offers practical strategies, daily practices, and tools for managing stress and elevated cortisol levels, one of the main causes of leaky gut. 

Prioritize quality sleep to support your body’s daily rest and recovery. Start your mornings with gut-friendly practices like meditation or yoga, after a shot of olive oil and lemon! The alkalizing lemon juice reduces gut acidity, calms inflammation, supports healthy gut flora, and strengthens the gut lining. Shayna’s Kitchen Certified Organic Ancient Italian Olive Oil first thing in the morning on an empty stomach lubricates the digestive tract before your first meal, alleviates constipation, and enhances nutrient absorption. 

Gut Balancing Plate And Diet 

The Inner Alchemy Gut Health Masterclass will deepen your understanding of the gut-healing power of recipes like lentil salad with dark leafy greens, fats that heal (avocados, raw nuts), moderate protein, and fiber-rich complex carbs. Our Gut Balancing Plate And Diet focuses on intuitive eating and balance—not deprivation—and empowers you to truly enjoy foods that boost mental clarity, sustain energy levels, support hormonal balance, reduce inflammation, and fuel the transformation to your absolute best self.
