Did you know:
The vast majority of celiacs don’t notice an improvement in their symptoms even after completely removing gluten from their diet?
Perhaps even more shocking… The majority of celiac disease’s symptoms have nothing to do with your gut. Your itchy skin, joint pain, fatigue, or headaches could all be caused by something known as silent celiac disease. In extreme cases, you could be completely free from symptoms yet still have celiac disease.
Why you’re not feeling better on a gluten-free diet
Have you followed the recommendation of your doctor and completely changed your diet to be gluten-free?
Only to later realize it made no change in your symptoms. Or, maybe even made your symptoms worse.
You’re not alone. Many people jump on the gluten-free bandwagon with hopes that it will be a cure-all.
Learn why some people seem to improve on a gluten-free diet while others notice no change by downloading our free eBook.
Unfortunately, going gluten-free is not as simple as removing gluten from your diet. Confusing, I know.
Consider that one study found only 8% of adult celiac patients reached healthy levels of gut inflammation (histological normalization) after following a gluten-free diet for 16 months.
Did you catch that?
Only 8% of adults actually recovered their gut health to normal levels following 16-months of a gluten-free diet. (1) Another study found that only 34% of participants had a healed intestine after following a gluten-free diet for 2 years. (2)

How we help you overcome celiac disease and gluten sensitivities in Calgary
We utilize a four step process in all of celiac disease and gluten sensitivity treatment protocols. The four steps to move you from fatigued to flourishing include:
1. Identify your fatigue fighting nutrition plan
No templates here. We’ve developed a proprietary system to help you learn exactly which foods work with your body.
2. Identify and remove hidden gut issues
Even though your family doc or specialist says your gut is fine, most people dealing with celiac disease have hidden gut issues. Often, these gut issues are maintained by foods you think are healthy.
3. Balance your stress hormones
Being sick for a long time creates an imbalance in your stress hormones. An imbalance in these hormones will prevent your body from healing – no matter what you do.
4. Uncover the hidden toxins making you sick
Strange substances like mold, heavy metals, and other environmental toxins could be making you sick and tired. Until these are removed, you’re not going to get better.
It’s not that any one of these steps have magical healing powers. It’s the synergy that occurs when each of these steps is implemented in the correct order at the appropriate time. That’s when you start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I know or have worked with hundreds of alternative medicine practitioners. And I’ve never seen any of them implement the above four steps into a cohesive treatment plan for their patients.
Some do food allergy/sensitivity testing but don’t know what to do after removing the offending foods have been eliminated and the fatigue remains.
Others specialize in gut health. But these knowledgeable practitioners forget about the stress hormones and hidden toxins.
Most practitioners know about the stress hormones. But none of them know the 3 hidden causes behind them. Instead they load you up with herbs and supplements. None of which end up improving your energy over the long-term .
I’ve not yet met any practitioners knowledgeable in the realm of environmental toxins. Weird toxins are all too often the root cause of strange illnesses like adrenal fatigue. If they’re not identified and removed, any treatment you do will not improve your condition.
Why you should consider working with Flourish Clinic
Care and mastery are what make the difference here at Flourish Clinic.
By the time any of our patients find us, they’ll – on average – have seen 5 other healthcare providers. Ranging from family docs and specialists to energy healers and shamans.
Those working in the conventional medical paradigm possess a great deal of mastery. But the care found in these clinics is almost non-existent.
In alternative medicine, you’ll often come across healers who truly care about your well-being – sometimes to a fault. But all too often this high level of care is married to a low level of mastery or understanding of your illness.
In order to overcome your illness, you need an abundance of care. And a practitioner with an expert level of understanding – or mastery – over your particular illness.
Care and Mastery are the foundation to the Flourish Framework. It’s these values that consistently gets us outstanding patient outcomes.
We’ve spent thousands of hours studying celiac disease and gluten-related disorders. No one in the Calgary area has the in-depth understanding and knowledge needed to help you overcome your fatigue.
