The Art & Science of Managing IBS, SIBO/IMO, for Nutritionists & Students

Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth,  Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth

This course is ready now and self-paced.

Nutritionists and clients have requested specific information over the years,

And here is what I heard:

  •  You want more than just supplement protocols.  You want to know how to think through real cases, start to finish – from what specific questions to ask in order to gather important details, how to differentiate between different GI conditions, when to recommend testing, what tests to recommend based on symptom profiles, when to refer and seek medical advice, what are the most effective supplements and therapeutic diets – for the most effective and safe outcomes.
  • You want a way of explaining IBS and SIBO/IMO usings simple analogies and diagrams showing sthe physiological, emotional, and mental effects.
  • You want to know how to support clients by finding and addressing their root cause.

  • You want content that applies to you specifically as a Holistic Nutritionist, using your food, supplement, culinary, and lifestyle- focused approach skills that are all within your scope of practice, and most effective for supporting your IBS, SIBO/IMO clients.
  • You want to feel confident, work effectively and efficiently with GI cases without spending thousands of dollars attending conferences and countless webinars trying to piece the puzzle together yourself.
  • You want links, research studies, resources, templates, at your fingertips, and well-designed hand-outs for your clients.
  • You want to connect with other GI-focused Holistic Nutritionists, especially those who take a root-cause, individualized approach.

With Marla’s way of teaching I have been able to effortlessly understand complex concepts because she knows what her students are looking for. She generously shares her knowledge and keeps giving and giving and also provides resources which are extremely helpful in bringing clarity. Every time I go back and watch the trainings, I have new Aha moments. Her Q&A sessions are also a valuable opportunity to deepen your understanding. Marla’s courses are extremely comprehensive and jam packed with her years of experience. I’m very grateful to have found her and will always have her as my teacher.

I have done so many certifications in pursuit of gaining more knowledge and making connections of what I learn. After taking Marla’s courses I figured I should just have learned from her.

Marla is a wealth of information and the course content ( Functional Lab Testing) was more in-depth than other courses/webinars I've taken in this area. I truly learned something new!
