Intermittent Fasting Guide

“…germ-free mice showed an exaggerated stress response that was normalized after their guts were colonized with a probiotic. A 2019 study by Huiying Wang and colleagues applied this concept to humans, showing that probiotic strain Bifodobacterium longum 1714 (Zenflore) may play a role in managing stress responses in healthy volunteers by modulating their neural processes.”

The Gut and brain, inextricably linked

Are you interested in resolving chronic gut issues, balancing your hormones & getting your energy back or diving into your metabolic health? I’ve got you covered!


The IshbelWELL Detox program is a one month program that is sure to revitalize your diet along with your hormones. Clients who’ve done this program RAVE about it. Expect to lose weight, balance your mood and lay the foundation for balancing your hormones.

Prior to the program, I was struggling with constipation, bloating, feeling sluggish and exhausted all day and suffering from severe brain fog. During the detox, I lost 15 pounds, had mental clarity, an abundance of energy, lost all sugar cravings and was relieved of my constipation and bloating.

The IshbelWELL Gut Healing Program is built on two tests: the GI Map and the MRT. The GI Map uses DNA polymerase to map out your gut microbiome as well as gut function. You’ll get a front seat view of why you’re struggling with digestive and / or hormonal symptoms. In addition, we use a food sensitivity test called the MRT which is 93% accurate. (Skin prick tests for food sensitivities are about 30% accurate).
