Finding personalized solutions for your clients can be a struggle.

Luana Flacco, a holistic nutritionist with a focus in digestive health, does this without restricting her clients’ diets.

How does she do it?

After going through her own journey to gut health, she’s learned the correct way to do this without taking away the foods she loves. This helps her guide her clients through the stages of wanting to go the “quick route” of detox diets and cutting out every food that could be hindering their digestive system… ultimately leading to feelings of deprivation and relapse.

Why is gut health so important?

Gut health has far-reaching impacts on our entire well-being.

An unhealthy gut can lead to sleep disturbances or constant fatigue, upset stomach and digestive issues, autoimmune conditions, and more.

And since no two people have the same stomach bacteria in their digestive systems, taking a personalized approach typically works the best for dietitians and nutritionists hoping to help clients through gut imbalances.

How to guide your clients to better gut health

Follow this simple system to guide your nutrition clients to enhanced digestive health and wellbeing.

Ask what foods bother them.

This is important to know, so that you can provide different meal plans to guide them to eating that food without causing more digestive discomfort.

Are your clients unsure which foods trigger digestive upset?

Have them track their eating patterns over the next week or so… along with tracking any uncomfortable symptoms that pop up in the same time period. This should help you identify any triggers for them.

Provide meal plans and recipe collections.

After discovering what foods may be the problem, discuss what meal plans or recipes may work best for their taste and gut health.

Often, clients don’t have the road map to a healthier gut, and following a set meal plan can help them get back on the right track.

Leveraging practice management tools like Meal Garden can help you save time on personalizing meal plans for your clients with specific health needs and conditions.
