Take Charge of Your Health — One Week at a Time
We are living in the most overfed, undernourished, inflamed generation in history. And yet most medical advice focuses on managing symptoms — not correcting root causes.
After decades of research and hands-on patient care, I can tell you this: most chronic health problems don’t start where we think they do. They start in your gut.
Gut Check is a subscribers-only email and video series designed as a long-term metabolic reset. Each week, I break down one overlooked driver of inflammation or metabolic imbalance — and give you one simple correction you can implement immediately.
Most members begin noticing changes in digestion, energy, and mental clarity within the first few months.
Inside Gut Check, I guide you through what others ignore — how inflammation, nutrition, hormones, energy, and mood are deeply connected to the health of your gut microbiome — and how to start bringing that system back into balance.
Every week you'll receive:
🎥 One focused video lesson (~15 minutes): Dr. Anna breaks down one overlooked driver of gut or metabolic dysfunction — clearly and directly.
📩 One written summary email: Review, reference, and implement what you learn without rewatching.
🧠 One simple action step per week: Not 12 overwhelming changes. One focused correction that compounds over time.
🔬 100% science-backed & research based: Not trends, not TikTok tips, not influencer buzz. Real physiology designed to create real progress.
💬 PLUS direct access to me through a private Signal App group chat for any questions!
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, with straightforward, no-nonsense insight into what’s actually blocking your metabolism, energy, sleep, and gut from working the way your body was designed to work.
No fads. No influencers. No junk science. Just the physiology behind your body—and how to make it work better for you.
