Dr. Georgina is a distinguished graduate of the Functional Medicine University in the United States. As a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, she has dedicated countless hours to extensive studies and research in the realms of digestion, gastrointestinal health, nutrition, immune health, detoxification, neuroendocrine regulation, inflammation, and more. In addition to her functional medicine expertise, Dr. Georgina possesses a Bachelor of Science degree from The University of Auckland, where she focused on psychology and physiology over a three-year period. Furthermore, she holds a Bachelor of Chiropractic degree from The New Zealand College of Chiropractic, which involved intensive five-year studies encompassing human anatomy, physiology, biology, neurology, diagnosis, and diagnostic imaging. With nearly two decades of experience, Dr. Georgina has demonstrated her commitment to helping individuals regain and maintain their well-being.

No, Dr Georgina is a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (CFMP) and Chiropractor. Her 5 year degree in Chiropractic gives her the title of doctor but she does not practice medicine or diagnose or treat diseases or medical conditions. She focuses her practice on promoting health and optimal function. Her services are not meant to substitute or replace those of a medical doctor but her programmes are meant to work in conjunction with them.

Although you may have seen other professionals, they may have not had the expertise to dive deeper and identify your root causes or they may simply only offer dietary recommendations such as the low FODMAP diet. ​​ IBS is essentially a waste basket diagnosis, used when other medical conditions such as Crohn's or Coeliac disease have been ruled out. But there are underlying causes of IBS such as a parasitic or bacterial infection, a small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) or fungal overgrowth (SIFO) that may have not been investigated or addressed thoroughly by your health professional. This can be due to poor lab testing, lack of understanding of these conditions, limited treatment options and/or the expense involved to fully investigate. For example, a comprehensive stool test by a functional medicine lab includes an assessment of the microbiome, it looks at absorption and inflammatory markers, and uses PCR analysis and 3 different samples to make sure no pathogenic microbes are missed. This does not occur with conventional medical stool tests. Use of these cutting edge tests can be the difference between a life time of suffering and a life filled with energy and vitality. True gut-healing requires a systematic and thorough approach that addresses ALL of the root causes, not just one or two. This is where many practitioners go wrong, even those in holistic health care.

Dr Georgina is currently sitting around a 90% success rate for those who have fully completed her IBS or gut healing program. This is based on a "substantial improvement" in their IBS or digestive symptoms by the end of at least 90 days.

Many of my clients are in the US, but also the platform for the online educational tool will only support one currency option unfortunately.

Functional testing is not included and an additional investment to help uncover the root causes of your IBS. Tests can be arranged to assess SIBO (a small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), parasites (comprehensive stool analysis with parasitology), dysbiosis (comprehensive stool analysis), food sensitivities, and allergies (Complete Dietary antigen test aka Precision allergy 88), leaky gut (zonulin blood test) and more. A comprehensive stool analysis or a SIBO breath test are most commonly recommended for IBS sufferers. Even if laboratory tests are not currently within your budget, it's important to note that the programme prioritizes the fundamentals. This includes addressing low stomach acid levels, rectifying nutrient deficiencies, and making suitable food and lifestyle choices. These fundamental steps alone can often lead to significant improvements in symptoms. The utilization of conventional lab tests through your general practitioner (GP), along with the assessment of essential nutrients such as vitamin D, zinc and copper can provide valuable insights. A review of previous laboratory tests is included, along with a report detailing the findings. The optimal levels are provided, not just what is considered "normal".

Natural nutritional and herbal supplementation is used during this program and is an additional investment. The cost depends on your root causes and needs. Everyone will receive a personalized "prescription". There will be two options "must haves" and "optional extras". So if money is tight, you could choose to just order the "must haves". Typically the cost for around two to three months supply of supplements will be around $300 NZ. As some of the supplements are not needed until the end of the program, you can split the cost up. NZ and Australian clients will be emailed a supplement script to order their products online from our quality practitioner-only supplement companies. Those outside of Australasia will be given a list of Amazon and Iherb recommendations that can be easily couriered to most countries around the world. We only recommend supplements that are pure, free of fillers, contain therapeutic doses, and have high bioavailability.

No. We do not prescribe or make recommendations about prescription medications or controlled substances. Your prescribing medical doctor will manage all medications. We use natural, noninvasive methods such as nutritional therapy, herbs, supplements, stress management techniques and lifestyle changes to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal health and function.

All health concerns are discussed in the initial and follow-up 1:1 consults, and if necessary are also addressed. Please keep in mind that often the first step when addressing many health concerns, including hormonal issues, joint pain, fatigue, insomnia, and headaches, is to heal the gut. Relief can be found from a vast array of symptoms, seemingly unrelated to IBS.

Most notice and improvement around the 2 to 3 month mark. 6 months of care helps to ensure long term changes, saving you time, money and frustration in the long-run.

You can access this programme and its online educational resource from anywhere and on any device! So long as you have a web browser and an internet connection you can access the info from any device you like!

We understand that accidents, trauma, work issues, and family dramas can interfere with your progress, so ONE pause of up to 4 weeks is allowed. The program includes 6 months of 1:1 support and takes into consideration that some lab results can take up to 3-4 weeks to arrive. A care plan is still created and to be followed while awaiting these results.

It is really over to you how fast you complete the course and how much time you invest daily or weekly. However, we find that those who understand the clinical rationale behind the recommendations, tend to get better outcomes and more sustainable results. Over 50 lessons are provided in an easy to use online course format, with each lesson ranging from 2-10 minutes in duration. Completion of the worksheets, quizzes, self-assessment tools are additional. The information provided can be crucial to preventing a relapse of symptoms in the future. Useful for the whole family, this vital educational tool supports diet & lifestyle changes that can prevent and reverse chronic, preventable disease; not just irritable bowel symptoms.

Yes, absolutely. We are trained in the treatment of SIBO and will also look to improve gut motility which is often an underlying cause. If SIBO is suspected we can arrange a hydrogen/methane breath test, that can be completed at home, to get a diagnosis. This test is relatively inexpensive.

We didn't feel a strict meal plan was appropriate, however one can be found in the recipe book. This recipe book provides numerous gluten and dairy-free recipes and meal ideas to make meal planning easier. Low FODMAP options are also indicated. Everyone's intolerances are different, so you'll be taught how to adapt recipes to suit your dietary needs, while still eating tasty and delicious meals, suitable for the whole family.

Most of the meals can easily be adapted for a vegetarian or vegan diet. In the online educational resource and workbook there is a lot of focus on understanding your body and education around diet so that you can create your own meal plans and adapt recipes to suit your dietary choices.

We understand the hesitation. It is a considerable investment in your health with no guaranteed outcome. But IBS can have a devastating impact on one's life and even one's ability to work. Many suffer for years, trying a haphazard approach that rarely works. The Nourish to Flourish IBS Solution is a systematic approach that uncovers the root causes for a long term solution. With close to a 90% success rate, it is possible to be rid of IBS for good, and then the investment is 100% worth it!
