Build Strength Without Bloating.

A gentle, gut-friendly approach for women with digestive sensitivity.

Listen to your gut.

The Gentle Protein Method was born from a desire to support women who feel unseen by nutrition and fitness advice. Women who have the natural aspiration to age with confidence and strength, but instead get bloated and uncomfortable when increasing protein.

Learn the approach that connects a leaner, more toned body with a clear understanding of how to eat for your digestion.

Your holistic and Ayurvedic approach is also invaluable in my opinion. Also, the amount of time you've given me both in online and in-person chats has been generous and thorough and you've answered all my questions. The feeling of not being limited by the clock is much appreciated. Your support and compassion has been important when I've felt a bit frustrated.”
