"Gall Stones, Fatty Liver, Pageants Disease Gone & 23kg weight loss in less than 6 months!"
Sharon Jones, Toowoomba QLD, Australia
Sharon Jones, Toowoomba QLD, Australia
After several years of unhealthy living, my body decided that enough was enough!
I then spent nine years going doctor shopping to try and find out what was wrong with me. One doctor told me that I was just constipated and sent me on my way with some laxatives. I wasn't convinced as the violent vomiting episodes told me something very different to just having constipation. Eventually, I found a General Practitioner that got me the right tests and given diagnoses of a gallbladder full of gallstones, a very fatty liver, pageants disease and pre-diabetes. Naturally, I was upset to learn all of this and then horrified to be told Gall Bladder surgery was my only option, take medications for Pageants disease and I was to go on with life as usual.
Gall bladder surgery was not what I wanted to hear after watching a work colleague go through the same keyhole procedure. I started researching and learnt gall bladder removal is the second most common surgical procedure in Australia, but there must be another option, surely?
And what was a 'normal' life going to be, my gallbladder was only one of the issues I had so just removing this wasn't going to solve these other issues, like fatty liver, pageants disease, excess weight gain, and pre-diabetes.
I was lucky enough to have known Amanda already, and I knew that after years of 'ignoring' what she had previously told me in general conversations about my health, I was going to have to seek her professional help with this matter.
I am even luckier that Amanda is who she is and was right there to offer me her valuable source of information with no judgement and didn't lecture that she mentioned this all before.
I did feel bad I didn't take Amanda's advice much earlier, but this time, when l reached out, Amanda was very patient and guided me to take the next step and look at other options other than gall bladder surgery.
Through weekly consultations, Amanda provided me with professional advice by phone and Skype and straightforwardly explained things. I soon knew I had made the right decision.
Amanda soon put me on track with well-informed dietary and lifestyle advice and made me accountable every week to complete a weekly diet diary.
The journey of the first 11 weeks was not an easy one, to cut out my usual diet of junk food, fast food and takeaways and start to undo years of abuse. Still, as Amanda explained and gave recommendations each week, I could swap out bad fats for good healthy fats, to stop cravings and still feel satisfied. Also, to help prevent the food cravings, and get my gut and liver health back on track, Amanda prescribed professional therapeutic medicine and nutritional supplements, and arranged for these to be delivered straight to my door.
After three months of weekly consults, I made a few hiccups and Amanda did not chastise me, instead coached me gently back on track and didn't give up on me. I realized the importance of being kept accountable, and continued to seek Amanda's support.
Less than six months later, I had lost nearly 23kgs and was off my pageants medication. An ultrasound revealed a reduction in the gallstones and the doctor said l no longer needed to have my gall bladder removed. A year later, a further ultrasound revealed only a couple of gallstones left, and the doctors were shocked at my results and said, keep doing what you are doing! – Amazing Sharon!
I can't thank Amanda enough, her knowledge is impressive, and her experience in life leaves her with truly remarkable compassion, and she does understand that living in this world of processed food, junk food and socializing is challenging sometimes so takes this all into account with YOUR journey.
Amanda understands that this is YOUR journey and it is up to you to achieve your own goals, but she is willing to work at your speed, fighting your demons along the way and allows you time to process it all through to achieve YOUR goal.
I can't thank you enough, Amanda, you are amazing, a gift and one of a kind!

"Graves' disease, depression, anxiety, foot fungus & 20kgs weight loss!"
Dawn Moke, Dunedin, New Zealand
Dawn Moke, Dunedin, New Zealand
I attended a consultation with Amanda in January 2020 and explained my numerous health concerns and not wanting to be on medications for the rest of my life.
The doctor had diagnosed me with Graves' disease, depression & anxiety, and varicose veins. On top of that, I needed to lose at least 20kgs and get rid of my foot fungus.
I had a bad diet and lifestyle for most of my life and consequently, years of not eating right, and drinking and smoking had caught up with me and having just turned 50, I decided enough was enough. Tired and fed up of always having low energy, suffering from anxiety and depression and being overweight, I wanted to sort my health once and for all, break old cycles, and embark on a new journey to find my true authentic self.
Amanda straight away got me on to a gut healing program, that included celery juice, plant-based nutrition, therapeutic supplements, mindset exercises and lifestyle modifications.
Amanda went on to explain how all disease starts from the gut, and if the stomach isn't right, then you can't absorb the right nutrition to support proper cell growth and development and reverse disease.
Over the next few months, l continued with the gut healing program Amanda prescribed to undo years of damage and abuse. Slowly bit by bit, I started to notice symptoms of Graves’ disease and my poor health reversing. I went to the doctors for a checkup, and a new thyroid test revealed my thyroid hormones were normalizing, the thyroid nodules gone and the doctor was happy to reduce my medications.
Over the last five month's other improvements include; less foot fungus, less cracked heels, more durable nails, lesser visibility of varicose veins, healthier hair, skin and nails, and fewer blemishes, acne, wrinkles, less cellulite and 20kgs weight loss!
Mentally, I am more focused, have less brain fog, anxiety and depression and am much more aware of my body now. I pay attention to what I consume and how it affects my energy levels.
As my diet is much cleaner now, and my gut healing continues, I noticed that I have higher vibrations and have a much more positive attitude and outlook on life.
In the process of my new health journey, I have also become a proud gardener to a selection of organic vegetables and only shop for fruit and nuts and natural ingredients for baking. This clean living is a complete turnaround to all the junk food and loaf of bread that I use to eat daily!
My movement is more articulate with less pain in my joints, less backache, and better posture than ever before. I exercise daily, which is toning my body with the weight loss I have encountered.
I'm excited to see the benefits of the knowledge and health coaching that Amanda has provided, encouraged and supported me with over these last few months to leading a healthier lifestyle.
I am so grateful for all Amanda's help, her patients, care, kindness and compassion have helped me get my life and health back on track, a new life, one where I value myself and have become aligned with my true authentic self. If you have any health concerns and don't know where to start, I highly recommend Amanda.
Thank you so much, Amanda, I couldn't have done it without you!

"Tired & Fed up Suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Viral Infections"
Amelia Wood, Grays, Essex UK
Amelia Wood, Grays, Essex UK
I am a mum of two teenage kids, and I used to lead a very active lifestyle.
In the last few years, I started feeling my health declining more than ever since a swimming injury in 2013.
Over the last two years, I felt my immunity go downhill with viral infections, suffering from brain fog, lethargy, anxiety, depression and continuous weight gain.
The doctor recently diagnosed me with Chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis and anxiety and told me to rest.
That's when l reached out to Amanda, who l was lucky enough to have known already, and was interested to learn more about gut health and how all disease starts in the gut.
On the first consultation with Amanda in April 2020, Amanda could see how anxious I was and soon put my mind at rest that there were answers to fixing my health problems and she explained it was not my fault. I instantly felt better and was glad l reached out. Amanda went on to review my diet, lifestyle and explained some quick and simple changes that l could make straight away to start improving my health.
Over the next few weeks, l embarked on the gut-healing program that Amanda recommended and started journaling and doing the other mindset exercises Amanda provided. Her holistic approach meant that I felt empowered with ways to take action and began to make time for myself again, and setting boundaries and noticed improvements to my mood and a reduction in anxiety.
A few weeks into the gut-healing program and with Amanda's health coaching, l now feel like l am finally getting my life back on track. I now feel that my energy levels are returning and arthritis has eased off, l have noticed a little weight loss too!
I am glad I decided to reach out to Amanda, as challenging as it is to take this next step in my health, I can say there is no looking back now!
If you are struggling to make improvements with your health and fed up with feeling tired and run down, l highly recommend Amanda. She is very accommodating with online appointments and follow-ups of continued support even to the other side of the world!
Thank you, Amanda, for your knowledge and expertise but also for helping change my mindset so that I could get back on track on track and feel better about myself again.
"I believed in Amanda right from the Start"
Belinda Golden, Grafton NSW, Australia

During our initial gut health consult, Amanda was able to direct me with setting clear, measurable goals right away to get my gut health back on track.
Amanda also gave me all the tools, resources and on-going support I needed, to continue getting the results I was looking to deliver for myself over the next few weeks.
I believed in what Amanda right from the start, and because of her help and patients answering all my questions, she gave me the ability to believe in myself and follow through & achieve my health goals.
Amanda is a shining example of what can be achieved with persistence, patients and with the right support.
"6kgs lost, gut heath back on track, busted ankle- Amanda did not give up on me!"
Nicole Klouth, Melbourne VIC, Australia

Having completed Amanda's "5-Steps to Amazing Gut Health" Program, I would like to say that I am feeling fabulous, not sure how to put it into words but my inside is feeling so much healthier and clean. My stomach does not feel bloated, and yes, I will say that I don't have any flatulence, which was becoming quite embarrassing, not to mention the pain and discomfort that I was feeling.
I am feeling a lot more confident going to social events and just generally talking to people out and about in the shops. The difference between where I am now, compared to 12 weeks ago is fantastic. I no longer going out of my way to avoid eye contact and make excuses not to engage in conversation. Instead, now I make eye contact and stop to talk; a small thing, but feels very empowering.
The education that Amanda has given me to improve my gut health & keep me accountable has been life-changing and has put me on the road to recovery, not to mention that I have lost over 6 kg and knowing that I will not be stopping there. My goal, when I first talked to Amanda, was to improve my gut health and to lose weight slowly. I did not want to lose a lot of weight fast, because I wanted to learn how to introduce new healthy habits gradually, stay accountable to myself and have the confidence I would maintain my new healthy lifestyle.
In week 3 of my weight loss & gut health journey, I broke my ankle, & thought I would have to delay things, but Amanda didn't let me off the hook. Instead picked me back up, motivated me and continued working with me. Thank you so much, Amanda, for not giving up on me and not allowing me to give up on myself! I kindly appreciate it!
After the 12 weeks working closely with Amanda, I have drastically changed the way I view food. Now when l think of a hamburger, my mind switches to making more healthier choices, whereas before, I would have just given in to the burger temptation & later regretted it. With my new & improved mindset, thanks to Amanda and her excellent health coaching, I can now always make healthier choices. That is the most significant advantage of Amanda's teachings to me. Thank you so much, Amanda, for all your help!
"Weight loss & more energy to run around after the kids!"
Paula Cope, Brisbane QLD, Australia
Paula Cope, Brisbane QLD, Australia
I signed up to Amanda's "5-Steps to Amazing Gut Health" Program, and I've got to say it was life-changing for me.
I was unhappy with my body and an unhealthy lifestyle; I was not looking after myself at all.
After having two babies, I was 8kgs over my healthy weight, that I gained in less than six months, and I was starting to get worried. I had to do something about it. That's when I contacted Amanda.
What I loved about Amanda's approach to health, is that she didn't give me a strict diet to follow, she worked with me over a few weeks, to modify my diet & lifestyle gradually, and more importantly, she helped me work on my mindset.
Gradually I was able to cut out things that were no good for me and replace them with healthy alternatives.
What I liked most about Amanda's approach is that there is a solid strategy for helping you achieve your goals; she patiently coaches you every single step of the way.
I lost 2.5kgs in 6 weeks, and I feel much lighter. I have much more energy throughout the day, and I feel less bloated & my clothes fit better.
With Amanda's health coaching, knowledge and education on what I should be eating, now I read the labels on foods. Understanding food labelling is a massive breakthrough as now I know what's right for me, and what's not. Now I have the confidence after completing the program, that I can keep going to achieve my long-term health goals. I am also excited to have more energy to run around after the kids and bring them up, leading a healthy lifestyle too!
Thank you so much, Amanda, for everything - You're amazing!
"Gut health back on track!"

I completed Amanda’s Signature program “5-Steps to Amazing Gut Health”, and I must say she is a wealth of knowledge and so giving of her time and energy. She guided me through the maze of food types most suitable for my metabolism and blood type, and current digestive issues that included bloating. Before I engaged Amanda, I thought my diet was ok, lots of fruit and vegetables and minimal takeaway. I have now discovered, through Amanda’s health coaching, that some of those so-called “healthy” foods were not necessarily good for me and also contained not so healthy ingredients. I highly recommend Amanda if you are needing a hand getting back on track with your diet and help with any digestive issues you may have.

Having completed Amanda’s “5-Steps to Amazing Gut Health” Program, after just one health coaching session with Amanda, I noticed an improvement straight away.
During this first session, I did one of the mindset exercises Amanda recommended, and I immediately realized how much I had been sabotaging myself and putting blocks up to achieving my health goals.
Over the next few weeks and the course of the program, Amanda continued coaching me on our weekly calls, and helped me overcome any challenges and obstacles that came up for me. I felt this was a huge breakthrough, especially to help stop emotional eating.
Amanda also helped me work on my diet and lifestyle and educated me to make better food choices for my gut health. I have to say that her wealth of knowledge is fantastic. Not only does she coach you on how to improve your diet, lifestyle and gut health, she also gives you the mindset tools to work through emotional challenges that come up for you, and help you achieve your health goals much faster.
Now back on track, I am no longer sabotaging my health goals and feel 100% confident to stick to them with my new health regime!
Amanda goes above and beyond to take care of her clients, and I highly recommend anyone that is looking to get back on track with their health, break cycles of emotional eating & stop self-sabotaging to contact Amanda today!

After the initial consultation, I got a real insight into the underlying problem, plus so much more. Amanda provided so much advice and information on the gut and microbiome health and explained things in an easy to understand way.
Amanda also provided a list of foods suitable for my metabolism, blood type and lifestyle. I was excited to get started, feeling optimistic that there were solutions to my feeling tired and fatigued. I implemented Amanda's recommendations straight away.
After only a couple of weeks of implementing Amanda's recommendations, I noticed a big difference in how I felt and looked, and even managed to lose a couple of kilos!

"Highly Recommended – Gut-Health workshop!"
Lisa Pace-Renata, Gold Coast QLD, Australia
Lisa Pace-Renata, Gold Coast QLD, Australia
I attended Amanda's "5 steps to amazing Gut Health" 1-day workshop. Amanda's talk is very informative, and she made it easy to identify the cause of digestive issues and made it clear that gut health problems are reversible despite what some doctors may say. Her knowledge of nutrition and supplements, I also found to be incredible. I was under the impression that supplements were not a good idea, but now I see the value in the healing process - I understand the role that supplements play. But beware! As I learnt, not all supplements are created equal, and it is vital to get high-quality therapeutic grade practitioner supplements to help with particular gut health problems.
I highly recommend Amanda’s 1-day workshop, and the first person to go to if you have any concerns regarding your gut and digestive health that you have not been able to solve.

I met Amanda in 2016 at a business conference in Thailand, and soon fell in love with Amanda's passion for health!
At the conference, although business-related, in just the first few minutes after we got chatting, our conversation soon turned to gut health & how pineapple is fantastic for digestion!
Even though both of us live on opposite sides of the world, we've kept in touch, and I continue to follow Amanda's work and be part of the gut health community to this day.
