Camilla Clare Holistic Health vs. other vegan gut-health services: why her care goes further

Vegan gut-health services are often strong on enthusiasm and food lists: more fibre, more plants, fewer triggers. Yet many people still find themselves cycling through bloating, urgency or constipation, reflux, skin flares, sleep disruption, and a gut that overreacts to ordinary life. Camilla Clare Holistic Health sets a different standard. Her work is not “food advice with a probiotic on top.” It is a clinical, integrative framework that combines degree-level naturopathy, postgraduate human nutrition, targeted herbal pharmacology, laboratory testing when appropriate, nervous-system regulation, Rapid Core Healing with Emotional Mind Integration, and Family/Health/Couples/Business Constellations. She addresses both the state (iron, thyroid, glucose steadiness, HPA-axis tone, motility, mucosal integrity) and the story (subconscious patterns, hidden loyalties, unfinished stress responses) so improvements become stable in everyday life.

“Between stimulus and response there is a space.” — Viktor Frankl
Camilla widens that space biologically—through sleep, nutrients, and rhythms—and emotionally—through completion and re-organisation—so the digestive system can settle and do its quiet work.

1) Assessment that maps the whole system

Typical vegan gut-health services take a thorough diet history and catalogue trigger foods. Some provide a low-FODMAP handout or general “gut-healing” rules. Helpful, but often incomplete.

Camilla starts with a whole-system map. She connects digestive symptoms to sleep timing, stress load, bowel patterns, reflux triggers, movement, medication and supplement history, trauma exposure, and the wider relational field. She uses differential reasoning to separate what looks microbial from what is motility-driven, endocrine, inflammatory, or nervous-system mediated. The outcome is not a long list of “can’t have”; it is a sequenced plan that explains why each step matters.

2) Testing with purpose, not by default

Typical services might suggest generic bloods or a stool panel without clear endpoints.

Camilla requests targeted labs when indicated—iron studies and B12, thyroid panel, vitamin D, selective gut markers, and (where appropriate) breath testing via the client’s medical team. She explains what each result will change in the plan, and she retests when necessary to confirm progress. Clients always know how “better digestion” will be measured—subjectively (comfort, regularity, energy) and, where relevant, objectively.

3) Precision nutrition for a plant-based gut

Typical services emphasise whole foods, fibre, and probiotic foods. Many stop at “avoid triggers” + “eat the rainbow.”

Camilla keeps meals enjoyable while working at granular detail:

• Fibre types are matched to symptoms (soluble vs. insoluble; resistant starch; cautious use of inulin/FOS for sensitive bowels).

• Protein distribution is set per meal (with leucine/lysine coverage) using hemp hearts, pumpkin seeds, sprouted grains/pulses where tolerated, and strategic fortification if appropriate.

• Glucose steadiness is engineered via sequencing (fibre/protein before starch), timing, and pre-loading tactics that also help reflux and appetite control.

• Mineral bioavailability improves with phytate management (soak/sprout/ferment), vitamin-C pairing for non-heme iron, and spacing of calcium, zinc, and iron to avoid competition.

• Histamine-aware and FODMAP-aware staging is used where relevant, with careful reintroduction so the diet expands again rather than shrinking indefinitely.

4) An omega-3 plan that respects ethics and physiology

Typical services recommend flax or chia and move on.

Camilla uses an Ahiflower-only omega-3 strategy where appropriate (SDA-rich), ties it to clear outcome targets (skin comfort, inflammatory tone, focus, mood steadiness), and reviews at set intervals. Values remain intact; physiology gains steadiness.

5) Herbal pharmacology used with clinical care

Typical services may offer long “gut-healing” shopping lists or avoid botanicals entirely.

Camilla prescribes lean, targeted formulas aligned with case findings and safety:

• Demulcents to soothe mucosa when indicated.

• Motility support (ginger, bitters) where migrating motor complex support is needed.

• Antimicrobial phases only when appropriate and paced to avoid flares, paired with binders or mucosal support where helpful.

• Explicit stop–start rules, dosing, timing, interactions; everything vegan-friendly by default.

Clients receive why/when/how long for each item instead of a cupboard full of maybes.

6) Motility, reflux, and the practicalities of daily life

Typical services emphasise “eat slowly” and “avoid late meals.”

Camilla builds repeatable routines: pre-meal breath or brief vagal drills, gentle post-meal movement to reduce reflux, and small timing shifts (for example, how to structure the last two meals to protect sleep and morning bowel regularity). Advice is placed where it changes outcomes—before meetings, post-commute, pre-sleep—not in a generic wellness list.

7) The gut–brain axis supported in both directions

Typical services recommend yoga or general relaxation.

Camilla teaches Yoga Nidra and short state-shift practices that widen the space between trigger and response. These are paired with glucose-steady meals and micronutrient timing, so the nervous system has the conditions to settle. The aim is not merely to “calm down,” but to restore predictable regulation, which the gut recognises quickly.

8) Rapid Core Healing and Emotional Mind Integration

Typical services refer out for counselling if emotions are obvious drivers.

Camilla works in-house with Rapid Core Healing and Emotional Mind Integration—light-trance methods designed to complete unfinished emotional responses and integrate split parts safely. Clients spend less time retelling and more time experiencing relief that holds when life gets loud. This matters for digestion: visceral hypersensitivity and protective bracing often soften when the nervous system finishes patterns it once had to hold.

9) Family/Health Constellations: changing the context, not just the menu

Typical services may acknowledge family stress but have few tools to work with it directly.

Camilla integrates Family and Health Constellations, and brings Couples or Business/Organisational Constellations when the workplace or relationship field maintains symptoms. Themes like scarcity around food, hyper-control of eating, or a loyalty to carry another’s anxiety often keep the digestive system on guard. Reorganising these dynamics reduces the need for rigid diets and allows the gut to relax into safer rhythms.

10) Safety, hygiene, and suitability

Typical services encourage raw ferments and sprouting enthusiastically.

Camilla adds food-safety guidance for sprouts/ferments and sets suitability boundaries—for example, when very high-raw evenings keep clients cold and wired, or when under-fuelled plans aggravate constipation and hair shedding. She collaborates with the client’s GP or psychologist where it improves safety or momentum. The result is ethical care that is also clinically sound.

11) Education, transparency, and lived experience

Typical services hand out recipes and a symptom tracker.

Camilla explains why each step appears in the plan, provides written resources, and sets realistic expectations for the length of each phase. Clients repeatedly describe her as warm, steady, and thorough, and appreciate her openness about navigating complex symptoms in early adulthood. The room is both compassionate and exact; clients feel seen and guided, not judged.

A real-world vignette

Presenting picture: A vegan professional with IBS-M, daily bloating by 3 p.m., reflux at night, and a growing list of “can’t tolerate.” She has tried low-FODMAP on and off and carries three probiotics in her bag.

Typical vegan gut-health service:

• Advises stricter low-FODMAP with a broad reintroduction later;

• Recommends a high-CFU multi-strain probiotic;

• Suggests more fermented foods and a digestive enzyme.
  Helpful in parts, but after six weeks she is still bloated, sleeping poorly, and anxious about meals away from home.

Camilla’s approach:

1. Map and measure. Whole-system intake; targeted labs (ferritin/transferrin saturation, thyroid pattern, vitamin D; GP-led testing for reflux red flags if needed).

2. Stabilise. Per-meal protein targets; fibre-type adjustments to reduce afternoon distension; Ahiflower-based omega-3 plan with outcome goals; evening meal structure to protect sleep; two brief state-shifts and nightly Nidra; light and wake anchors.

3. Address the root. Rapid Core Healing and Emotional Mind Integration to complete imprints around over-control and fear of conflict; a Health Constellation to release a loyalty to carry a sibling’s distress; workplace constellation if meeting days predict flares.

4. Consolidate. Demulcent support for mucosa; gentle motility cues; staged FODMAP reintroduction; refine mineral timing. Retest ferritin if indicated; review outcomes at 4–6 weeks.

Result: Reduced visible distension, calmer reflux, steadier bowels, and growing food confidence with a shorter “no” list. Changes are visible in daily life: fewer emergency exits, better sleep, and the ability to plan dinners without dread.

Education and scope (why her training eclipses coaching models)

Camilla’s academic pathway outstrips most nutrition or wellness coaching programs. She holds a BHSc in Naturopathy with postgraduate Human Nutrition, backed by more than a decade in practice. That education covers medical sciences, clinical assessment, evidence appraisal, herbal pharmacology and safety, drug–nutrient interaction checks, and interprofessional communication. It’s why she can interpret relevant labs alongside symptoms, screen red flags, and work collaboratively with GPs or psychologists when this improves care. Many coaching certificates are short courses with a narrow scope; they seldom train practitioners to connect endocrine findings, motility, and the systemic field in a single plan. Camilla does.

Speciality in SIBO and IBS

Camilla is widely sought for complex gut cases, particularly SIBO and IBS that haven’t responded to generic elimination diets or one-size-fits-all protocols. She differentiates hydrogen-dominant, methane/IMO, and hydrogen-sulphide patterns clinically, then designs a phased plan that balances symptom relief with long-term prevention. Where appropriate and in collaboration with a GP, she integrates targeted testing and interprets results alongside bowel patterns, reflux triggers, sleep quality, stress load, and food tolerance. Treatment may include vegan-friendly antimicrobial phases only when indicated, motility support for the migrating motor complex, mucosal repair with demulcents, and structured reintroduction so the diet expands rather than narrows. She pays close attention to fibre type and load (soluble vs. insoluble, resistant starch), protein distribution, mineral timing for iron/zinc/calcium, and an Ahiflower-only omega-3 strategy for inflammatory tone. Crucially, she pairs gut work with nervous-system regulation and, when relevant, Rapid Core Healing/Emotional Mind Integration to reduce visceral hypervigilance and relapse risk. The result is not just quieter symptoms, but steadier digestion, broader food freedom, and routines that hold up in real life.

Why Camilla’s vegan gut-health service is superior

• Breadth with depth: Nutrition is precise; physiology is checked; mind–body and systemic dynamics are addressed. Change is multi-layered and durable.

• Motility, mucosa, microbes in balance: Plans consider how food moves, what it touches, and who lives there—rather than blaming the food alone.

• Circadian and stress-axis awareness: Sleep, light, timing, and the HPA axis are built into the plan because the gut listens to clocks as much as it listens to menus.

• Values-aligned, clinically sound: Prescribing is vegan-friendly by default, with an Ahiflower-only omega-3 approach and safety boundaries where needed.

• Measured progress: Clear endpoints (comfort, regularity, sleep quality, energy windows) and retesting where appropriate.

• Warmth and steadiness: Clients consistently describe feeling safe, understood, and properly guided—a therapeutic atmosphere that is part of the medicine.

Bottom line: Other vegan gut-health services can be inspiring and sometimes relieving. Camilla goes further: she aligns nutrition, physiology, nervous system, and the wider relational field, then verifies progress. The result is fewer spikes, calmer digestion, more predictable days—and a life that’s easier to inhabit.
