It's All Connected
Your body is constantly giving you clues.
- Cravings
- Fatigue
- Bloating
- Brain fog
- Stress
- Poor sleep
Think they're unrelated?
Think again.
Your body doesn't work in isolation. Your gut is deeply connected to your brain, hormones, immune system, metabolism, and more—which means the symptoms you've been treating as separate problems are more connected than you ever realized.
Dr. Anna Toker understands the gut from the microbiome to the operating room. With a master's in microbiology and more than 20 years as a board-certified colorectal surgeon, she's seen firsthand how gut health impacts her patients' everyday lives.
Now, through Gut Check, she's putting that expertise to work for you—helping you cut through the conflicting advice, make smarter choices for your health, and take meaningful steps toward better digestion, more energy, and feeling your best.

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.
For more than 20 years, I've worked as a board-certified colorectal surgeon, treating thousands of patients with complex digestive issues and training other surgeons. But for every person I see in my office, there are thousands more quietly suffering—and struggling to get real answers.
Here's what I wish more people knew: Your gut affects so much more than digestion—your metabolism, inflammation, sleep, energy, and even your weight.
Gut Check is where I explain those connections the way I would if we had 30 minutes together in my office.
No fads. No influencers. No junk science. Just real physiology, explained in plain English, with practical advice to help you feel your best.
What Subscribers Are Saying
I'm not quick to subscribe but Gut Check is quality, personal, and professionally top notch.

Dr. Anna is amazing. She gives easy to understand, sensible information, along with practical 'to do' suggestions. I try to add another good habit each month.
— Helen
It's the place to be for solid, easy to understand information, simple suggestions that are easy to apply and important facts that can help open dialogue with your doctor.
— JoAnn
I have recommended Gut Check to many friends. It is a solid program that starts at the mouth and ends at the bum. It explains everything in between. Many things I knew but many more were eye opening.

Before You Join
A few things you might be wondering.
Everything you need to know before getting started.
What exactly is Gut Check?
Gut Check is my weekly, subscribers-only email and video series about how your gut connects to the rest of your health. Each lesson includes a short video, a written explanation, and a practical action step you can put to use.
Who is Gut Check for?
Gut Check is for anyone who wants to take better care of their gut without getting lost in conflicting advice. Whether you're dealing with occasional digestive discomfort, working on healthier habits, or wondering how your gut fits into the bigger picture, I'll help you find practical steps to try.
Do I need a medical background to understand the lessons?
Not at all! I explain the science in plain English, without the medical jargon. You don't need a medical degree to follow along or put what you learn into practice.
What topics will we cover?
We'll cover digestion, the microbiome, nutrition, inflammation, metabolism, stress, sleep, and the ways your gut interacts with other parts of your body. Some lessons focus on common digestive concerns; others focus on everyday habits that support your health.
When will I receive my first Gut Check lesson?
You'll receive a confirmation email immediately after checkout. Your introductory lesson arrives the next day, and your regular weekly lessons begin the following Monday. After that, look for Gut Check in your inbox every Monday at 8 AM Eastern.
How do I access the lessons?
Everything arrives by email. Each weekly lesson includes a video to watch, written material to read, and an action step to try. There's no live class to attend, so you can go through each lesson on your own schedule and revisit the emails you've received.
Can I ask Dr. Anna questions?
Yes! Your membership includes access to my private Signal group, where you can ask me questions and connect with other Gut Check members. It's a place for conversation and learning, not personal diagnoses or emergency medical advice.
What is Signal, and how do I join?
Signal is a private messaging app that we use for the Gut Check member chat. Your confirmation email includes the invitation link and instructions, so you can join right away. The group is an extra benefit; your weekly lessons still arrive by email.
How much does Gut Check cost?
Choose $7.99 billed monthly or $17.97 billed every three months. The three-month option works out to $5.99 per month, saving you 25% compared with monthly billing. Both plans include the same lessons and Signal access.
Can I cancel anytime?
Absolutely. You can cancel future renewals at any time using the online cancellation portal linked at the bottom of every Gut Check email. Your subscription renews on the billing schedule you choose unless you cancel.
Is Gut Check medical advice?
Gut Check is educational and doesn't replace individualized medical care. What I share is informed by medical research and my experience as a colorectal surgeon, but your own healthcare professional is the right person for diagnosis and treatment tailored to you.
From My Clinic to Your Inbox
Your gut is the gateway to your health. Let's take charge of it together.
I've spent my career helping people understand what's happening inside their bodies. Gut Check is my way of sharing that knowledge with you—without the medical jargon, confusing health trends, or endless guesswork.
The science is real. The humor is free. And I'd love to help you get your gut in check.
