At some point, each of your client’s problems
come down to digestion

You wish you could just hand them a bristol stool chart and a diet journal and they’d get better
You know if your clients aren’t digesting their food they will be nutrient depleted
You suspect your clients’ microflora lacks diversity and “good” bacteria
You know the connection between leaky gut and autoimmunity

How would it feel to look your clients in the eye and say “We’ve got this”

To know in your heart that you have a proven system
To always have a backup plan
To understand so deeply how bacteria and digestion interact that you can think on your feet
To be able to effortlessly adapt to your sensitive clients needs
To be able to answer your clients questions with confidence
To be truly authentic in your enrolment conversations because you know deep down that you
have tools and resources that can change your clients’ lives

If complex digestive cases give you butterflies in your stomach I’ve got your back

Functional Probiotics Foundations: Solutions for Practitioners

“I love working with Steph and sometimes call her to confer about clients’ persistent digestive issues or for the latest news about the microbiome because I value her opinion. Steph has researched this topic more deeply than anyone else I know, and because her approach and her knowledge is so valuable to me I’ve invited her to speak at my live events and entrusted the care of several of my clients to her “

This Program Has the Ability to Transform Your
Services, and Ultimately, Your Clients

Before You Register for Functional Probiotics
Foundations There are a Few Things We Need to Get Straight:

You will not succeed by simply taking my system and copying it. You will only succeed by entwining these new learnings into YOUR PERSPECTIVE and YOUR KNOWLEDGE because that is what your clients need
You will need support to integrate these new learnings, they’re not just to keep you busy
Functional Probiotics Foundations teaches you a framework through which you can understand bacterial and fungal imbalances so that as new information comes to light you will have a strong conceptual understanding and fluency with digestive bacteria no matter what!
This field is constantly growing and evolving – hence the Functional Probiotics Syndicate to keep updated in the latest developments in the field, to share experiences and knowledge and to refer clients when one of us is full
It takes time to learn and integrate new skills
I will not teach you WHAT to think but HOW to think so that you can problem solve with probiotics
I did not create this program for you to do something fun. I created this program for you to implement these strategies and resources with your clients as soon as possible

My Name is Steph and I Need You

I am not writing to you from behind a desk. I am writing to you from the real world where I have a waiting list practice of clients waiting for solutions. They have gone to the specialty clinics. They have followed the instructions of their medical practitioners. Many have paid thousands of dollars to find solutions and are still searching.

Many people have almost lost hope after years of searching for solutions. The saddest part for me is to know that the solutions are out there. I truly believe there is a solution for everything but it takes time to get to know each person 1-1 to really get to the root causes.

Solutions require listening, patience and perspective. Solutions require getting to know our clients, getting to know their environment within, getting to know their surroundings and history. Solutions require understanding the physical body, emotional body, the spiritual body. Solutions require biochemistry. Sometimes the answers are easy … from a certain point of view. And each of ours is unique.

I don’t have answers for some people that call me up. Maybe you do.

My Vision:

Yoga and its effects on probiotic bacteria
Laughter and its effects on probiotic bacteria
Probiotic solutions for IBS
Bacteria and the Brain
Bacteria and Love Relationships
Bacteria and Twins
Mother-daughter Bacteria
Healing Sjorgens through the microbiome
Raw food and probiotics
Wild food and probiotics
Street food and probiotics
YOUR specialty + probiotics
Bacterial Product Development

The environment interacts with our microbiome and there is much work to be done. You can add something of value here.

I’ve shared my dream with you so that you can see WHY I am
doing this. Now check out my other WHY, our clients:

“As a Personal Trainer and Functional Nutrition Coach, I still struggled with bloating and food intolerance. Enrolling in the Core Reset Home Learning program enabled me to really dig deeper to discover the root cause of my digestive issues. Steph’s expertise, along with the weekly module content and questionnaires, helped me to discover that the H. Pylori test run by my doctor actually yielded a false negative result. My body has responded wonderfully to the diet, recipes, and healing protocols Steph recommends for H. Pylori in the CRHL program. ”

Jan Chamberlain

“Steph Jackson is a treasure! She is the master of all things bacterial, but with a wonderful twist. She doesn’t see them as the enemy to be conquered, but a part of us to be understood. Through her own learning, she has found ways to work with not only our microbes, but seeing how this relates to who we are as human beings. This is why I call her The Gut Whisperer.“

Lynn DeBuhr Johnson

Yes! I want to know more to sign up for Functional Probiotics Foundations

Functional Probiotics Foundations – Solutions for Practitioners

“If you want to get to the bottom of your health issues, you really need to check out Steph Jackson’s work. She can help you understand how these challenges can be related to imbalances in certain bacteria & how to remedy this. What makes her approach distinct is she helps you identify what issues are unique to your Microbiome. Two people might have similar health conditions, but different bacterial imbalances in their systems & thus each require a different solution to regain their health. I know I want to be working with someone who can zero in on that difference and can get to the bottom of things quickly!”

Michalene Casey

“If you want to know the deets on the microbiome, then Steph Jackson is your go-to-girl. She knows the critters that live amongst us and is the most knowledgeable teacher I have come across to both identify who’s take over in there and how to put them back in their place… or head ’em out and move ’em on. From her own personal experience and ongoing in depth study of this very central part of our body in our gut, she knows and generously shares more than any health professional that is termed “an expert” of which I have listened to many.“

Simone Heurich

“Believe me or not but this is very much based on reality. :D!!

Core Reset program and Stephanie’s method helped me to heal, not only my digestive system but also, what I would call a chronic “metabolic and hormonal mess with insomnia”-problem in my body. All that in a very short time. I learned about amazing essential oils, herbs and minerals, which I will certainly continue to use to heal myself. The program also introduced a variety of valuable information sources for better health and knowledge of how to heal body holistically. Thank you Stephanie.”
