Discover What’s Possible When You Get the Answers You’ve Been Searching For

I’ve been working through anxiety and IBS for years. Once I did the program I was amazed to see how much better I felt once I knew exactly what foods to focus on in my diet.

For me, getting rid of barley was a major shift in my life! I was able to get through a workday without missing a beat for the first time in a very long time, not to mention feeling calmer and having more control of my social anxiety. Thank you so much!

OVERCAME LIFE-DISRUPTING IBS AND ANXIETY

Thank you to Dr. Kate. It has been an AMAZING, life changing experience working with her.

Although I thought I was eating healthy, I still felt awful. After starting Digestion By Design, I was able to identify that just because a food is ‘good for you’ it was in fact not good for me.

After just 1 month of the program I had no more bloating, next to no GI symptoms and I actually lost 10 lbs. I was able to exercise again and feel like myself again. I would highly recommend that everyone should do this, consult with Dr. Kate and learn how she can help you! I only wish I did this sooner. 

BEAT THE BELLY BLOAT AND FINALLY MOVED THE SCALE

This was the guidance I needed to help get my life back. I was desparate and slipping into depression. I gained so much weight, felt terrible and spent way too much time in the bathroom.

IBS, Gastroparesis, Diverticulitis, GERD, hernia and fatigue were taking over my life.

I saw all the specialists but was only ever given prescriptions that were expensive and didn’t work.

Once I decided I needed to do something different, it was like the universe aligned. I admit that it was a little overwhelming getting my results back, but working on my mindset and having this unlimited support along the way was invaluable!

I was able to lose weight, stop experiencing daily IBS-D, now it only happens when I get really stressed. I’ve found my love of the kitchen and cooking again. For anyone suffering gut issies, I encourage them to try this process and regain your LIFE!

FOUGHT THE FATIGUE, IBS, REFLUX AND WON

My relationship with my husband was suffering because I didn’t feel comfortable in my own skin. I had no desire to be intimate and felt like I was destined for a life of baggy clothes to hide my non-pregnant pregnant looking belly.

Seeing my GI doc and primary care only gave me meds and generic lists of foods to stay away from and I never even had time to ask questions.

I used to be exhausted and it was a chore to get through dinner and getting my kids to bed. I often was falling asleep in bed with them and couldn’t keep up with everything else I needed to do.

Once I got my results and changed my foods, OH MY GOSH! I was like a new person. Within 8 days I was feeling amazing! Energized, bloating was way down, that I no longer looked pregnant and started wearing less loose tops.

If you’re been frustrated with how you’re feeling, seriously get started with Dr. Kate! It’s totally worth it to have your health back and stop wasting money on trying vitamins, supplements that didn’t seem to help.

REIGNITED RELATIONSHIPS AND CONFIDENCE

I think I’m a pretty healthy person, but I couldn’t figure out what was causing my skin rash, UNPREDICTABLE diarrhea, and nasal congestion.

I was sick of the steroid creams that didn’t seem to be working that well and the unxpected, urgent trips to the bathroom.

When I found out that food could be a cause, I was intrigued. I wish I did this sooner.

Making a few changes to the foods that I am eating and my skin is SO much better, I’m not congested and I’m no longer running to the bathroom! Thank you. I’m relieved to know what foods were aggravating me. No more steriod creams or stress! 

DEFEATED DIARRHEA, ECZEMA, CONGESTION

After having my children, I felt like I was living in a body I didn’t recognize. Couldn’t lose the baby weight, despite nursing both babes for over a year. I felt like I was always everything in the bathroom and that no foods agreed with me any more. I actually carried around a potty seat in my car, ‘just in case’. I felt so low, unsexy and all my relationships were suffering.

This was THE single best thing I have ever done for myself. I had no idea about the connection between the gut and hormones, thanks to Dr. Kate I was able to connect the dots and it blew my mind! Any mom out there struggling, please don’t and call Dr. Kate today!

3 weeks in to the coaching program and I’m not sprinting to the bathroom any more and I’ve actually lost 15# from bloating and stopping the emotional eating because I actually have a plan that works!!

GOT HER PRE-BABY BODY BACK

After years of struggling with pain due to scar tissue and inflammation, Dr. Kate's approach made a huge difference in my life. She worked with me to identify the foods that caused inflammation and the various toxins in my daily routine, helping me find alternative approaches that I love. What I love most about her philosophy is her acknowledgment of "balance." While the process can be stressful at times (change is change, and change can be hard!), Kate fully understands that we need balance in our lives to create meaningful change. Between our scheduled virtual appointments, I could message her whenever I had a question, and she'd check in often to ensure I was doing well. As a person, she's fantastic, relatable, and incredibly knowledgeable. For the first time in a very, very long time, I feel like I'm in control of my body. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kate!

Without boring you with all the details of the problems I was having, I will say that working with Dr. Ricciardi has been life changing. That is not an over exaggeration. She helped me identify more closely issues I was having with food. She helped me find foods that I was reactive to and were affecting me without realizing it. And maybe most importantly she gave me tools and skills to continue to live in my best possible way while navigating the complexities of food sensitivities. Can't recommend working with her enough.
