You've already tried…

The problem was never your effort. It's that the work of figuring this out landed on you either way - researching symptoms at midnight, piecing together protocols from Instagram, or paying a practitioner who mostly confirmed or denied what you'd already found on your own. You should never have to work harder than the people treating you. Honestly, you shouldn't be doing their job at all.

The experience

What it's actually like in here

Week one

Somebody finally has the full picture

Before we ever get on your first call, I spend one to two hours going through everything you have already done - every protocol, every previous test, everything that failed. The failures matter: they get us closer to what is actually going to work. Then we go through your history properly on the call - not a 15-minute intake, the whole story - and you leave with a plan built on your case, not a template with your name pasted on it.

A random Tuesday

Something flares. You send a message.

Dinner didn't sit right and the spiral starts. You don't wait three weeks for an appointment - you message us, we look at your case, and we adjust. Figuring out what it means is our job now, not yours.

Month to month

We adjust as we go

Because we are in contact all month, nothing waits for the next session. If something changes, we change the plan - that week, not next month. And because it's month to month, you stay because it's working - not because a contract says you have to.

"Brittany and her team were accessible. I never felt like a bother."

Your team

Two people on your case

You work with one practitioner - Brittany or Olivia - and Deanna supports you too. When something comes up between sessions, you can message in Practice Better instead of saving every question for the next appointment.

Brittany or Olivia

MS, RDN/LDN - Your practitioner

You work one-on-one with one practitioner - Brittany Carpenter or Olivia Myers. Same training, same root-cause approach, same small caseload of twelve. She builds your plan, makes the clinical decisions, and helps you adjust when symptoms - or life - change between sessions.

Deanna Clauson

Certified holistic health coach - with every client

Deanna helps you put the plan into practice. She supports meal planning, decision fatigue, fitting recommendations into your actual week, nervous system support, and follow-through on the goals you set with your practitioner - so you are not carrying every detail by yourself between sessions.

"It wasn't a 'bandaid' approach like you get with most doctors where they tell you everything is fine and send you on your way. I truly felt the team wanted to find a solution."

- Natascia, on what made the team stand out
How we work

A partnership, not a prescription

You know your body better than anyone, and what you report matters. Your role is to tell us what you're noticing - what's improving, what isn't, and what doesn't feel right. Our role is to make the clinical decisions and direct the plan. If you've been the one proposing protocols and suggesting diagnoses - to Google, or to a practitioner you were paying - the arrangement is upside down. Your job here is noticing. The responsibility for figuring out the next move stays with us.

The structure behind it

Simple, and month to month

You may have been stuck in a contract before, paying for months after a program stopped helping. This is month to month on purpose: you stay because it's working, not because a contract says you have to.

Month to month - stay because it's working. Most clients are with us about five months.

"I have dropped thousands on other programs that were not attainable and only led to more problems."

"She promised an end date and didn't lock me into buying supplements for the rest of my days."

After your last session

When you're done, you're not on your own

At your final session, you get my email. The goal is for you to leave confident managing your gut - and your life - on your own. For the next year, if life throws something at you - a stomach bug knocks you sideways, travel upends your routine, or a question just comes up - you can write to me and I'll help you think it through. You won't be back at square one, Googling alone at 9 PM.

In their words

What clients actually say

"I can eat soy, nuts, beans, dairy, and gluten again with little to no repercussions. I feel like I have my life back."

- Brooke

"It was worth the cost. The change over just a couple of months is really amazing."

- Rachel

"Normal BMs... I thought that would never be my normal. I was shocked, mouth agape, when the pain-free period occurred."

- Kaitlin
Questions

Before you ask

No. It's month to month. You commit one month at a time and can stop after any session. Most clients stay about five months because that's how long the work takes - not because they're stuck.
No. And here's the nuance: if you're reacting to a food, the food isn't really the problem - there's an underlying issue making your gut react, and that's what we go after. Eliminating the food might buy you temporary relief, but at what cost? A shrinking diet and more fear around eating. That said, we're never going to make you eat foods you know cause you issues - your reactions are real, and we're not denying them. The goal runs the other direction: fix what's underneath, give you back foods you were scared to eat, and help you feel safe around food again. That part makes all the difference.
Two separate chats, on purpose. Your practitioner chat is for the clinical stuff - symptoms, plan changes, whether something is working. Your chat with Deanna is for the everyday stuff - food, your week, follow-through. You can message either chat anytime; we reply during business hours. No evenings, no weekends - we keep boundaries on our side so you can keep yours. And if the plan needs to change mid-week, it changes mid-week.
No. We accept HSA/FSA, and we can provide a superbill on request that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.
Most functional practices start with a panel of expensive tests. We don't, for two reasons. First, a lot of those tests aren't nearly as accurate as they're sold as, and the results rarely change the plan - which makes them an expensive way to feel certain. Second, after this many years, most cases present in patterns we know well, and a careful history usually tells us where the problem is. There are a handful of tests we do trust. We bring one in when it adds nuance we can't get another way, or when there's something only testing can show us - and sometimes the issue isn't a microbiome issue at all, which makes a stool test the wrong tool no matter how good it is. When we test, it's targeted and at cost, because the result has to earn its place in the plan.
You get my email at your final session. For about a year after, you can write in with questions and I'll help you think it through - email only, when you initiate it - it's support for questions, not extra sessions. The goal is that you leave confident managing on your own, with a safety net still there.
Because this level of care has a ceiling. Plenty of functional providers carry 100+ clients, and nobody can hold that many cases in their head. Details get breezed past, and the client ends up doing the remembering and the pushing - which is exactly backwards. At twelve, we actually know your case: what we tried, what changed, what you mentioned three weeks ago. It also keeps us from burning out, and I'm protective of that on purpose - this has to feel good for our practitioners too, not just our clients. Care this personal only works when the people giving it aren't running on empty.
Yes. Everything here is written to women because that's who we market to - it's a demographic decision, not a clinical one. Complex gut health is complex gut health, and our male clients get the same results, often on a shorter timeline.
That's what the clarity call is for - for both of us. If I don't think I can help you, I'll tell you on that call, plainly. I only take clients I'm confident I can help. And I won't just leave you there - I'll send you to someone I think is a better fit. Even when I am a good fit, if I think someone else could be a better one, I'll give you that name too, so you can check every option. I'd rather you choose us because we're the best fit than end up here by default.
The first step

The clarity call is for me, too

Yes, it's where you decide if this feels right. It's also where I decide if I can actually help you - and if I can't, or I'm not sure, I'll say so on the call. So if I tell you I can help, you can believe it. That's not a sales line; it's how we keep it honest.

"I thought my body was broken and working against me. This was not true. I am not broken."

- Sarah, 1:1 client
Dinner out, without a plan B. Pants that still fit at 6 PM. The foods you love, back on the table. Energy that lasts the whole day.

Your gut doesn't get to run your life anymore.

Start with one conversation. If I can help, I'll tell you. If I can't, I'll tell you that too.
