Take Charge of Your Health — One Week at a Time
If you’ve been telling yourself, “I need to clean things up with my health”—but the thought of another strict, all-or-nothing plan makes you want to hide under a blanket with a bag of chips—then Gut Check is for you.
Gut Check is my weekly email subscription and video series built from decades of medical research and hands-on patient care, delivered straight to your inbox in plain English (with a little sass on the side).
🧠 1 action step per week (something you can actually do)
🔬 100% science-backed & research based

Each week, I spill the gut tea (no kombucha required). The science is real, the sass is free, and the goal is always the same: helping you get your gut in check so the rest of your body can finally keep up.
I break down the science of gut health into practical, patient-friendly steps you can take to feel better, think clearer, and live stronger.
YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD COLORECTAL SURGEON
Hi, I’m Dr. Anna. I’ve wanted to be a doctor my whole life—to cure disease and help people heal. But over the years, I’ve realized that for every person I see in my office, there are thousands more quietly suffering with digestive issues—and no one’s giving them real answers.
Here’s the truth: your gut is the key to almost everything—your metabolism, inflammation, sleep, energy, even your weight.
That’s why I created Gut Check — a weekly subscription that makes real, science-backed health information easy to understand and simple to apply.
No fads. No influencers. No junk science. Just the physiology behind your body—and how to make it work better for you.
