Gut Healing: PRIVATE is 8 weeks of 1:1 gut health coaching with me, Sarah Kay Hoffman, founder of A Gutsy Girl.
You’ve read the blog posts. Maybe you’ve even asked AI to build you a gut-healing plan. And you can. The information is out there, and I’ve given a lot of it away freely.
But here’s what I’ve learned in over fifteen years of doing this work: nobody fails at gut healing because they didn’t have the plan. They fail because they’re doing it alone. Because when symptoms flare, they don’t know if it’s the protocol or their body. Because there are ten possible root causes and no quiz, no blog post, and no AI can tell you which one is actually yours. Because week five gets hard, and there’s no one in it with them.
A plan is a map. What you actually need is someone who’s walked the path, looking at your specific body, telling you where to turn — and staying with you until you arrive.
That’s what Gut Healing PRIVATE is.
Over eight weeks, one-on-one, we work through your gut healing using my Structured Gut Method — but built entirely around you. Your history, your symptoms, your root causes, your life. We meet online or by phone. I adjust as we go. And I don’t let you quit.
This isn’t a course you watch alone. It’s me, with you.
I take only five clients at a time, because this is real one-on-one work and I protect the depth of it. When the five spots are full, the door closes until one opens.
The investment is $997, or two payments of $527. My first five founding clients come in at $797.
My background: Certified Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, Kresser Institute ADAPT Framework Level One, and researching gut health since 2008 — the year my own journey started.
If you’re done doing this alone, apply here. I’ll personally review every application to make sure it’s the right fit.
That’s the heart of it all. But read on for more…..

Why I’m bringing coaching back
Over the past several months, I’ve been asked “How can I work with you?” more times than I can count.
I had retired all my 1:1 programs.
But I couldn’t leave women confused, frustrated, and scared. So I started helping anyway. No set program. No rhyme or reason. I just did it.
This week, I spent 90 minutes with a woman who found me on Instagram. Afterward, she insisted on paying me. (I wouldn’t let her.)
That’s when I knew I’d given every last willing hour of my day.
So I’m bringing back just ONE coaching program. It has a real structure, room for 5 women at a time, and the time each of you deserves.
That program is Gut Healing: PRIVATE.
Is gut health coaching right for you?
You’ve done the protocols.
Bought the supplements.
Your symptoms move around, and they don’t resolve.
Bloating one month. Constipation the next. A SIBO protocol that worked, until it didn’t.
You want someone to look at your whole history and tell you what to do first, second, and third. You’re ready to do the work. And you want access to someone who has been there.
I have. I was diagnosed with SIBO, IBS, colitis, and leaky gut, and I relapsed more than once before I healed.
The order I did things in made the difference. Find the root cause, fix it in the right sequence, and keep a plan for what comes next.
That’s what we build together.
This program is a good fit if you:
- Deal with ongoing bloating, constipation, IBS, or recurring SIBO
- Have tried diets, protocols, or supplements without lasting relief
- Want 1:1 guidance and someone checking in on you
- Are willing to track your food and symptoms for 7 days before we start
It’s not the right fit if you need a diagnosis, prescriptions, or urgent care. Please see your doctor for those. This program works alongside your doctor. After reviewing your application, I’ll tell you honestly if this program isn’t the right fit.
What’s included in Gut Healing: PRIVATE
- Intake packet before we start. Your symptom history, past protocols, current supplements and medications, any labs you already have, and a 7-day food and symptom log.
- Kickoff call (60 minutes). We review everything and map which stage of The Structured Gut Method™ you start in.
- 3 follow-up calls (30 minutes, every 2 weeks). We adjust, troubleshoot, and move you to the next stage.
- Direct message access, Monday to Thursday. Questions answered within 24 hours.
- Your personal Stage Map. A 1-page plan, updated after every call. On our last call, I lay out your next stages so you leave with a plan beyond week 8.
- Gut Healing: ELEVATED and the 21-Day Quick Gut Detox, included.
- 20% off Gutbyome supplements during the program.
How the 8 weeks work
- Before week 1: You complete the intake packet and your 7-day food and symptom log. I read all of it before we talk.
- Week 1: 60-minute kickoff call. We find your starting stage and you get your first Stage Map.
- Every 2 weeks: 30-minute follow-up calls. We look at what changed, adjust, and move you forward when you’re ready.
- Between calls: Message me Monday to Thursday. You won’t wait until the next call to get unstuck.
- Final call: I map your next stages so you know exactly what to do after week 8.
What is The Structured Gut Method™?
The Structured Gut Method™ is my 5-stage framework for healing your gut in the right order:
- Reset + Reduce Inflammation: remove common irritants, simplify food, support regularity.
- Restore Digestive Foundations: stomach acid, enzymes, motility, and nervous system regulation.
- Rebalance + Target Root Causes: address imbalances such as SIBO or dysbiosis.
- Track + Personalize: log symptoms, foods, and supplement responses to find your patterns.
- Sustain + Expand: reintroduce foods and keep your progress without forever-restriction.
Most women jump straight to Stage 3 (a SIBO protocol, a cleanse, a kill phase) before Stage 2 is in place. That’s often why symptoms come back. In coaching, I tell you which stage you are in and what to do there.

I'm Sarah Kay Hoffman.
20 years with SIBO and IBS. 1,000+ articles written on digestion. A supplement line I formulated myself.
I built The Structured Gut Method™ because I watched thousands of women cycle through the same 4 steps: restrict, feel better, plateau, restart.
Answer one question and I'll tell you where to start.
