The Gutfulness Method
My Signature Gut Health Programme
A 16-week science-backed approach to overcoming chronic gut health problems that’s completely tailored to you.
Have you ever…
Been confused about what to eat and when to eat, when every meal seems to trigger bloating, discomfort, and fatigue?
Changed your outfit at the last minute thanks to painful gas and bloating? (Loose-fitting and comfortable have become your best friends!)
Been so fed up with feeling sluggish, swollen, and not your best, that you’ve eliminated your favourite foods and shelled out on supplements that de-bloated nothing but your bank account?
I’ve been there — and I’m trained to help.
Using a science-backed approach and a personalised plan tailored specifically to you, The Gutfulness Method offers you one-to-one support so you can finally take control of your digestive health.
Imagine if…
You had clear information on what was causing your symptoms and no longer felt confused about what to eat
You had food freedom and could make choices about what to eat with total confidence
You could confidently say yes to social plans and weren’t constantly worrying that gas and bloating were going to ruin good times with your family and friends
You didn’t feel bloated, uncomfortable, and sluggish every day but full of good health, energy, and focus
With The Gutfulness Method, you’ll finally understand what’s causing your gut health problems and get a personalised (and proven!) step-by-step plan to overcoming it — so you can experience all of the above.
No more thinking about your symptoms 24/7! It’s time to get your life back on track.
Who Is This For?
The Gutfulness Method is the ideal gut health programme for you if:
You’ve been plagued by chronic digestive symptoms for years (like constipation, loose stools, and bloating) and are yet to find anything that really helps
You’ve received an IBS or SIBO diagnosis but were left totally in the dark about what to do next
You know you have gut issues but have no clue what’s causing it — and Googling it hasn’t helped
You have a sensitive gut and have tried every elimination diet going to no avail
You’re sick of gut health fads and misinformation and want tailored, research-backed support so you can say goodbye to bloating, gas, and loose stools long-term
This isn’t just another gut health fix
I know you’ve tried every supplement out there, eliminated so-called trigger foods, and taken the conventional medicine your healthcare provider told you to.
And I know all of it has provided short-lived relief.
I’m a nutritional therapist and SIBO approved practitioner and I can tell you that the main reason most gut health protocols fail is because they focus on the gut itself and forget about the rest of the digestive system.
That’s where The Gutfulness Method differs.
To effectively address the stubborn digestive problems that are getting you down, I look at the whole GI tract, from the mouth all the way down to your large intestine (and your gallbladder and liver too!)
I also explore potential imbalances in the gut microbiome — another area that’s often overlooked — and look at the gut-brain axis (the connection between the gut and the brain).
This integrative approach means I can accurately uncover the root cause of YOUR symptoms so you can be free of them for good.
Every protocol I use is based on the latest scientifically proven strategies too.
What you get
A 15-minute call to get to know you, your gut health goals, and how I can help you achieve them
A complete nutrition, lifestyle, and health assessment so we both have a crystal clear picture of your current health status
A 60-minute 1-1 appointment where you can share your concerns and get my immediate recommendations (that means you can start improving your gut health straight away!)
x2 45-minute appointments to review your progress and make adjustments to your plan — so you’re able to get even better results
A 16-week personalised plan that’s tailored exactly to you
Access to a client portal where you can reach out to me for support and find all of your recommendations in one place
There’s more! You’ll also get…
Informational handouts to keep you on track
Collaboration with your doctors for medical tests or medications, if needed
Interpretation of lab test results, when applicable
Weekly email support for any questions or concerns

Marilia Chamon
Those debilitating and inconvenient gut symptoms you’re dealing with? I’ve been there!
Previously the proud owner of an iron stomach, I could eat whatever I wanted, until a nasty bout of food poisoning changed everything.
I started experiencing all sorts of digestive issues — extreme bloating, abdominal pain, multiple food intolerances, indigestion — you name it, I felt it.
Later diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, I was told my symptoms were the result of stress and anxiety.
But I knew that wasn’t right and that food poisoning was the trigger. And like so many people, my condition was left untreated and my symptoms worsened.
I spent the next few years conducting my own research and developed a deep interest in digestive health, eventually qualifying as a nutritional therapist, specialising in gut disorders.

My deep personal understanding of just how inconvenient, uncomfortable, and confidence-zapping gut symptoms can be, combined with my in-depth knowledge of the digestive system allows me to accurately address even the most complex of gut health problems.
How it Works
Step 1: Getting to know you and your symptoms
Reclaiming your gut health starts with a complimentary 15-minute call. It’s an opportunity for you to tell me about your specific needs and goals.
Want to move forward? I’ll welcome you into my client portal (it’s where you’ll find all our communication and support in one place) and send you a comprehensive nutrition and health questionnaire.
You’ll also fill out a 5-day food diary. This info gives me a really clear picture of your current health status and dietary habits, allowing me to create a plan that’s tailored to you.
Then it’s time for your first appointment. On this 60-minute call, we won’t only delve into your health history, concerns, and goals.
I’m all about education, so I’ll run through the information you’ve provided and give you my initial insights too.
You’ll finish the call feeling informed and have a clearer picture of the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms.
Step 2: Your first appointment
Now for the really exciting part: receiving your personalised action plan.
Using all the information you’ve given me, I’ll give you tailored dietary advice, lifestyle recommendations, supplement suggestions, and guidance on laboratory tests (if needed).
You’ll implement my recommendations over an 8-week period. And don’t worry — you can reach out to me via email any time you need support.
During this time, I’ll work closely with your healthcare team, if necessary, too.
Step 3: Your personalised plan
Step 4: Appointment 2 - Your 8-week review
You’re never left in the dark on The Gutfulness Method. I’ll closely monitor your progress over the eight weeks and fine-tune your plan as we go along.
After the first 8 weeks, you get a second appointment. I’ll review your progress, interpret your test results, and refine your plan.
That equals long-term results and lasting symptom relief.
Step 5: Appointment 3 - Setting you up for long-term success
Congratulations! At this stage, you will have completed 16 weeks of The Gutfullness Method and you should be feeling pretty awesome.
Drawing on my 5 years of experience as a nutritional therapist, I’ll walk you through everything we’ve implemented, explaining how it works, and how to enjoy being symptom-free long-term.
You’ll know with total clarity how to move forward and be free from gas, bloating, loose stools, and all those other annoying gut health symptoms for good.

Client Results
I started my journey with Marilia after feeling lost and dismissed by numerous doctors.
Over the course of her programme, she supported me with care, understanding, and expert guidance, and I can confidently say that my gut is finally healing. She not only gave me the right advice, but she truly listened to me and understood my struggles. For the first time, I felt seen.
Thanks to her, I'm healthier, my gut issues are improving, and as an added bonus, I've even lost weight, and feel more energised and balanced.
I’m so grateful for her expertise and compassion – she changed my life!

IBS Smart test is a blood test that measures the levels of two validated IBS biomarkers known to be elevated in the blood of patients with post-infectious IBS. The two antibodies measured are anti-CdtB and anti-vinculin. If either antibody measures over the established threshold, then post-infectious IBS (IBS-D or IBS-M) can be diagnosed with confidence.

The breath test measures hydrogen and methane gases in response to lactulose, a disaccharide (consisting of fructose and galactose) which is poorly absorbed by the intestine. If SIBO is present, the bacteria will begin to metabolise lactulose before it reaches the large intestine, causing an early increase in gas production. The remaining lactulose will then reach the large intestine, causing a second increase in gas production.

Gut microbiome stool test using qPCR & ELISA technology to provide a comprehensive analysis of the GI ecosystem and chronic disease-related microbial markers, which are backed by the clinical literature.
