The interview

What was your health like before working with Natalie at Bluestem Nutrition?

Before I worked with Natalie, I pretty much had about every stomach problem you could think of. A lot of pain, bloating. It got so bad, I was nauseous all the time, throwing up. It basically consumed my life. It was all I could think about. I'd try to go off different foods on my own, back to the doctor, trying this, trying that. Nothing would work.

What made you decide to start working with her?

What made me say yes to work with Natalie was she helped my wife a ton with stomach stuff. I gotta do something to feel better, and doctors weren't getting me there. It's just an alternative way to look at what you can do for your gut.

Did you have any hesitations or nerves before getting started?

I was a little nervous to get started with Natalie because it's a big lifestyle change. It's a commitment along with the cost. It's definitely a commitment, but 100% worth it in the end.

What was the experience of working with Natalie like?

What surprised me the most was she just guided me. She didn't force nothing on me, like 'this is what you should be eating.' She held me accountable, but it wasn't in a nagging way. She's very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She does an excellent job of telling you how the gut works without overwhelming you.

How long did it take to see results and how do you feel now?

Within about three to four months, I felt 100% better. I can eat what I want without thinking about everything I put in my mouth. Before Natalie, there was times I couldn't hardly drink water, I'd feel so bloated, and I don't think about that now. I eat without the pain and the misery.

What was the most important part of the process for you?

The big part of it was knowing foods through the blood tests and knowing what foods I couldn't have and just avoiding those. Now I watch that, keep track of where I'm at, and yeah, I feel good. It's a lifestyle change.
