The First Step to Finally Understanding Your IBD

Get the clarity you’ve been missing and start breaking the cycle of flares, fear, and inflammation.

AS Seen in / featured on

Living with IBD shouldn’t feel like guessing your way through each day.
This simple clarity checklist shows you what your gut actually needs — and where things may be going wrong — so you can stop feeling stuck and start feeling in control again.

What You’ll Learn

✔ The essential steps your gut needs to calm inflammation
✔ Why urgency, diarrhoea, blood/mucus, and anxiety keep returning
✔ The foundations most people skip (that stop healing in its tracks)
✔ How to finally understand what your gut is trying to tell you
✔ Where your biggest opportunities for progress actually are

This is the exact starting place I use with my IBD clients before anything else.

Why This Will Help

I’ve lived through IBD myself — the flares, the fear, the setbacks, the blood and urgency that ruled everything.

Now, after turning my own health around and helping others do the same, I’ve simplified the first steps into a checklist you can use today.

No guesswork. No conflicting advice.

Just clarity.

Our Success stories

    "exactly what I have needed to get my IBD under control"

    I started working with Chris in January 2025 during my worst flare ever. His guidance with a tailored diet and supplement plan has helped heal and rebuild my gut. I’ve learned so much, and he’s always there to answer questions. I’m now in remission, with consistent bowel movements, and feel equipped to manage my IBD long-term. I would 100% recommend The Gut Coach to anyone struggling with gut issues.

    "The impact on my colitis has been remarkable, and I am now medication-free"

    “Having recently been diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis, battling the symptoms alone was intimidating, but after working with Chris, I found real comfort in his expertise in symptom management. The impact on my colitis has been remarkable, and I am now medication-free. His approach isn’t just about dietary changes or exercise planning; it's a holistic transformation program and a complete mindset shift. Beyond addressing my symptoms, the ripple effect has been undeniable. I've experienced increased energy, improved mood, and a sense of balance that extends into all areas of life.”

    "The approach was surprisingly easy to follow"

    “It was my first time using a coach, and the approach was surprisingly easy to follow. Chris’ experience made it easy for me to open up about my troubles with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. We developed practical tools to help me manage my day-to-day stress and control the overwhelmed that I would often experience with my symptoms.”

    "He really provided me with the kick I needed to keep going when things got tough"

    Chris is a fantastic person and a remarkable health and wellness coach who used his own experiences to understand my view on IBD and how I suffer. He was understanding, caring and most important compassionate. He is down to earth and has a great outlook on the challenges faced by living with IBD. He really provided me with the kick I needed to keep going when things got tough and also has given me much more confidence around dieting and exercise with IBD. Cheers for the knowledge and guidance, Chris!

FAQs

    Food matters, but it’s only one piece.

    We also look at:

    • stress & mindset

    • sleep & lifestyle

    • recovery & repair

    Because gut healing is rarely just food alone.

    This helps you understand why symptoms are happening and what to prioritise first.

    It’s the same framework I use with my 1:1 clients — just simplified.

  • The checklist takes 5–10 minutes.

    But overcoming IBD takes longer.

    Most clients notice improvements within weeks, with lasting relief building over 3–6 months when we repair the gut step by step.

    Real healing isn’t rushed — and that’s a good thing.

  • Often, yes.

    Foundations come first, but testing can be incredibly helpful to understand what’s happening beneath the surface.

    That’s why functional testing and personalised protocols are included inside my coaching programmes — so we’re not guessing.

  • No one can promise that.

    But it will give you clarity, direction, and practical next steps — so you stop spinning your wheels and start making real progress.

    And for many people, that’s when things finally start to change.

    If you want more personalised support, you can book a free call with me and we’ll talk through your symptoms and next steps.

    That’s what this gives you.
