Are You Menstrual?

Gut Health Case Study

October 16, 2023 • Amanda Montalvo • Season 5 • Episode 14

We have our second case study this week focusing on a gut health case. Erin is joining me again to help break it all down for you. We went through a thyroid case last week, so if that’s of interest to you, make sure you listen to the previous episode as well.

We will wrap up the case study series with a final review of a client that struggled with fatigue and energy issues next week.

Our second case is of a previous course student and 1:1 client, Jenna. I reached out to her to ask if we could share her story since I think many people will relate. We did change her name, but all other details are accurate.

Jenna’s main concerns were not necessarily digestive symptoms, but many things came back to the poor health of her gut, which is why we chose her for this case. Her main concerns were headaches/migraines around her cycle, acne, hair loss, and recurrent UTI’s and yeast infections. She did an HTMA through the Master Your Minerals course and had very high copper and calcium. It freaked her out and she wanted additional guidance so she got 1:1 support through a results review and then became a 1:1 client to work deeper on healing her gut after rebalancing her copper levels. This allowed her to reduce her acne, headaches/migraines, and get rid of the recurrent infections she was dealing with. And most importantly to her, finally put a stop to her hair loss.

This episode covers:

Jenna's main concerns and symptoms, including what she had previously tried
Create her stress timeline, determine what she was doing well, and where to focus
Three phases of interventions based on her HTMA results
Jenna's healing results in the months following
