What clients all over the world have said about working with me:
Julie Ainsworth, California
Angela is incredibly good at what she does. Adding hypnosis to my healing plan has made a big difference. I think I’ve made more progress in the last several months while working with Angela than I have in over five years with functional medicine alone. I still have some work to do (I’m only about 1/3 of the way done), but I’m so grateful for the tremendous support and healing I’ve experienced so far under her care.
Harveen Chhoker, Canada
Mary Arnholt, Colorado
Angela is the only health professional that has ever gotten me results!! I’ve learned so much from her and am very thankful to have had the opportunity to work with her. Because of Angela I beat SIBO and had the mental strength, guidance and support to do the elemental diet for 2 weeks. I feel so good after eradicating SIBO.

Angela is an expert in treating H. Pylori and restoring overall gut health. I have not met a practitioner more knowledgeable or caring than Angela. She gave me the guidance and tools to reclaim my health after battling what I understand now as H. Pylori, for three and a half years (I was told by multiple GI specialists that it was all “SIBO” and to take probiotics). The GI Map gives so much information about the state of your gut health, and Angela does a fantastic job interpreting it and making excellent recommendations. By following her protocol, which was simple and consisted of diligently-selected supplements, I got rid of H. Pylori in two months.
My skin is the clearest it has ever been, I have so much energy (no more brain fog or fatigue!), my thyroid is functioning optimally, and my digestion is amazing. I’m able to tolerate so many more foods without having sensitivities or needing to go on restriction diets. I did not experience any “die-off” reactions during the protocol, it was a gentle cleanse that worked with my body and not against it. I trusted Angela’s coaching and never felt abandoned or lost at any time. I am grateful to have connected with Angela. She deeply understands gut health and will get you on track to healing and feeling the best you have in years!

Early this year, I was suffering a severe case of abdominal pain related to IBS. I suspected my symptoms could be related to SIBO. The pain would wake me up every morning at 3 am, enough to create a constant discomfort and anxiety.
The discomfort had me going to the bathroom multiple times a day. I found Angela via google search and decided to give her treatment a try.
After a couple appointments to scope the work plan, I got tested for SIBO and GI-Map testing to figure out what possible bacteria was causing the problem.
After the results and treatment, I was able to notice a 180 degree difference in my health. The pain went away and I no longer needed to be on the low fodmap diet which I had been for almost a year and my visits to the bathroom became normal.
Angela is a nutritionist with a heart of a healer, she loves what she does and does it because she loves to help people. I highly recommend her services, it is worth the cost as in my experience nothing else I had tried before worked, including GI track specialists and conventional doctors.
Keith Gills, Richmond, VA
I have suffered with reflux (GERD) and stomach pain for as long as I can remember. Doctors could not help me and my tests for h. pylori were consistently negative. I took the GI Map and Angela’s hunch about H. pylori was dead on. After the doing the protocol she gave me, for the first time in years, my symptoms are gone.
Casey H. Boulder, Co
I recently took an H. pylori breath test and got a negative result! My natural treatment for H. pylori worked well – with no side effects. About halfway through the protocol, I noticed things improving – symptoms that I previously had not connected to H. pylori. Amazingly, my overwhelming fatigue lifted.
Myra Meverden, former nurse, Aurora, Colorada
I am impressed for sure. I was so tired of fighting doctors that knew nothing except antibiotics and more antibiotics, that I had almost given up until I happened upon Angela’s website.
After about 14 days of the protocol, I noticed I had very little to no bloating and that felt so much better. One of the supplements helped with the constipation and I was feeling pretty good. I was staying on the diet but did cheat a tiny bit on Thanksgiving but I had no bloating or other symptoms from it.
It was encouraging to me. Normally I would have been thrown off for days but it caused nothing.
Leah B. , Michigan
I would not hesitate to recommend Angela for a second opinion on the GI Map. She helped me implement a key step in order to be more successful in eradicating my h.pylori that another practitioner did not recommend. She is knowledgeable, caring, and you never feel alone on your gut healing journey.
Irina, Massachusetts
When I found Angela, I was miserable with gut issues that conventional doctors could not help with. Angela gave me comprehensive testing and game me a healing plan. I feel so much better and have had tremendous improvements since I started working with her.
I have much less constipation, gas, bloating and discomfort and my gut feels almost back to normal. I am also experiencing less anxiety and depression from those issues. I’m starting to feel more like myself for the first time in years now and that’s something I’ll never take for granted again.
Throughout the process, Angela has always been very attentive and responsive whenever I have questions or concerns, which has been tremendously helpful in taming my fear and anxiety. And I love that she has a holistic approach to health. She has been so much more helpful and knowledgeable than any conventional doctor I’ve seen. It’s been a breath of fresh air working with Angela, and I’m truly forever grateful to her.

So much progress with Angela’s coaching. I have maintained clean eating, I only have alcohol on rare occasion and I was doing tea instead of coffee but have recently started drinking coffee occasionally.
All the work I have done has truly given me amazing results, before food would just go right through me, now I actually process my food and have normal stools. That is amazing! I am now more aware of what is ok and what is not.
Aiden A, Sonoma, California
I am doing really well! The things Angela recommended have really helped my anxiety level. I am back to normal, it’s really great! My digestion is a lot better too. It’s funny because finances have been a little troublesome lately but I am not as stressed as I was before.
Teresa Crowe, Cornelius, North Carolina
I came to Angela with massive sleep problems due to my stomach pain. In the past week I have has the best sleep I’ve had in years. And this is the best my stomach has felt in the last 5 and a half years. So happy I worked with Angela. She was able to spot a problem that other naturopaths and doctors missed.
Lizadia Torres, Puerto Rico
I’ve been feeling really good, digesting food much better and not feeling bloated like I used to, which is huge for me. The upper side pain I used to experience has subsided a lot. If I overeat ,I just feel the normal overeating sensation, which calms after a few hours. It is surprising how much progress I have made and I am extremely happy about it.
Karla Alcantar, Santa Rosa, CA
Thanks to Angela I am recovering fast. Angela’s recommendations helped me very quickly, I used to have discomfort from bloating on the lower left side and lower right side of my abdomen so I wouldn’t sleep on my sides, but since starting her protocol that discomfort in my lower abdomen disappeared completely so I can now sleep comfortably on my sides again!

I have been having GI issues such as severe bloating, severe gas, and an increase in belching for several years. It had become my ‘normal” for severe bloating and gas to start minutes after eating. Sometimes I had a food coma and would struggle to function.
Not knowing what was causing my symptoms made finding a solution very challenging and I got nowhere on my own. Since working with Angela I did several gut tests including VIOME, the GI Map and a food allergy test. These tests have shown that I have a parasite, a leaky gut, and several severe food allergies that with time I’m hoping to kick. Now I know what foods to avoid and I have a game plan for healing my gut.
Losing extra weight was not a goal of mine, but it happened. Over the years I dreamed of having a “normal gut” and not having the worst gas of anyone I know. These things are becoming my reality and I’m excited to understand why my body was reacting like it was.
Every time I talk with Angela she gives me encouragement and offers great recipe ideas with foods that are safe for me to eat. This is the best my gut has felt in years thanks to Angela.
Karmin Wall, Dallas Texas
I have been dealing with IBS-D for 10 years.
I tried to treat myself by googling my symptoms. I was convinced I had parasites or candida. I did cleanses, coffee enemas, probiotics, liver cleanse (w/ olive oil), a one-week fast and restrictive diets. I even bought a sauna and rife machine!
I’m pretty sure some of this was good but without knowing what was really wrong with me I was playing an expensive time-consuming guessing game. I gave up and sought out professional help, but most of these natural practitioners are one-trick ponies and most don’t do testing and the testing they do is not accurate.
I finally found Angela. She went through similar problems and solved them. I took her testing and found out I had h-pylori and SIBO. I finally had answers and a plan to get back my health back. My symptoms have improved, no more gas or bloating. All the healthy diets in the world would not have gotten rid of it.
I ‘m finishing up my protocol and highly recommend Angela if you have digestive issues no one can help you solve. Forever grateful.
Keri-Rose Lanotte, Lubbock Texas
Thanks to Angela, I have had more success with the Viome dietary recommendations than I have had with FODMAPs or the SIBO diet.
Anne Kessler, Point Arena California
I am soooo much better. All my symptoms are either gone or fading fast. I have my strength and resilience back. Happy to report increased energy, easy regular bowel habits, and no more bloating. I can exercise again. Arthritis is gone. I haven’t had a migraine in 2 months. I sleep like a log. I am thrilled! The liver protocol that Angela gave me is really helping.
Karen B. , Chicago IL
I’ve completed 6.5 weeks of my 8 week protocol and am generally feeling better now. I rarely feel any discomfort at all. I’ve lost about 12 pounds and my belly has noticeably shrunk. I didn’t care about losing weight as long as I felt better but it’s been a nice benefit. Thank you so much for your help and thank you for helping me feel this good. It’s been a very long time and I’m thrilled.
Kimberly Frank, Ingleside IL
When I found Angela I was in crisis mode. My gut was shutting down and rejecting food. I hadn’t eaten in 2 weeks. I needed help calming my gut and getting nutrients. Angela suggested an elemental diet to supply predigested carbs, protein and fats. After using it for three weeks my gut began to heal as I waited for my lab tests to come back.
I was able to reintroduce food again and the test results revealed the root cause of my symptoms. Now I have a plan to fix my gut, keep inflammation down and bloating at bay.
Finally after years of doctors visits I have some answers. And am beginning the process of building up my gut immunity and addressing the overgrowth in my small intestine. I’m so happy I took this leap of faith and contacted Angela. The worst is behind me. Now I’m moving forward towards better gut health. Thanks so much Angela!
Kim Brady, Sayulita Mexico
Working with Angela on a plan specific to me made it so much easier and more manageable to bring my body back into balance and clear up my candida. Her approach is science based. I highly recommend her.
Todd Parks, Virginia
I’ve struggled with digestive problems for 6 years, and have been to 4 Gastroenterologists. The first “prescription” was to get a colonoscopy (which I did), and Miralax and Metamucil was a common theme that followed. The last one prescribed Linzess which made me feel awful, and said that probiotics have little value. That’s when I knew I needed to find a better way.
I found Angela among the absolutely overwhelming amount of information out there on gut issues — IBS, dysbiosis, leaky gut, candida, SIBO, etc. I knew a lot of “stuff” but I had no idea how to put the pieces together. Angela has proven to me that she knows what she’s doing — first by ordering specific tests to identify the root cause of the problem (tests the GIs never did), and then by putting me on a diet and supplement protocol to attack the problem.
Not only does she patiently listen to your “story,” but she is incredibly responsive to any questions you may have. She is a real pleasure to work with. I hope to write back in a few months with an update that I’m symptom free after all these years!
Dave Giesbrecht, Canada
Angela is quick to respond when I message her and easy to talk to on the phone. The new diet she has me on has been helping a lot. I have found that my stomach has been doing a lot better. I am looking forward to starting the herbs.

I have been eating right and following the principles of Ayurveda, which helped me feel better but still something was wrong. I knew there was a piece missing. I was trying to figure out what tests I should take when I found Angela on Instagram and liked her approach. I had never heard of the GI Map before but this test has been so helpful. Now I know what is going and I know I can fix it. I am so happy because I had been looking for answers for so long.
Ruxandra N. , Texas
I started struggling with interstitial cystitis and migraines a year ago after two rounds of antibiotics for UTI infections. I had pain almost daily for nine months until I started working on my digestive issues with Angela. The first thing we addressed was h pylori and as soon as it was gone my interstitial cystitis and migraines disappeared!

When sudden illness occurs, it’s a gift when someone supports us back to health. Through much prayer and searching, I found Angela, who shares a wealth of information on how to regain health through proper diet, supplementation, rest, daily routines and much more. Angela worked with me one-on-one to understand what health concerns I was struggling with, what testing was needed to identify problem areas, and provided me easy-to-follow protocols. Her recommendations were easy to implement. Thank you Angela for your research and expertise, and helping me to feel my best!

Angela gave me my life back..
I’ve always been a very healthy person, but two years ago, that all ended. I had no clue what was happening to my body. Suddenly I felt sick often, and my stomach was so bloated and distended that it was physically uncomfortable. My energy levels plummeted and I would have to stop workouts before they were complete. I was miserable.
My family doctor ran some basic tests but I didn’t have celiac disease or anything obvious. I decided to go to my gynecologist because my cycle had become irregular after years of being perfect. Was it perimenopause? She didn’t think so, and said my symptoms were different than what she would expect.
Next I went went to a GI specialist. That was the most frustrating appointment of all. She didn’t run a single test. She immediately told me that it was severe IBS and stress. With a printout of the Low FODMAP diet in hand, I left the office doomed to a life of limited food options and constant discomfort. Not only did I physically feel sick, but mentally I was broken.
Several months and many diets later (I tried everything) I had an incident that had me searching the internet. I won’t give you details; trust me when I say you don’t want to know. This is the point though that everything changed. I randomly came across Angela’s website and read her story. It was SO much like my own! I could relate to everything she went through and it gave me hope. I contacted her right away and have been working with her ever since.
In the end, Angela identified exactly what was wrong. It was all within my gut and the more I tried to calm the symptoms with special diets etc, the worse I was making it. My doctor had given me a meaningless diagnosis while making suggestions that worked against me. Angela has helped me by prescribing allnatural supplements to slowly fix my gut, and also through our consultation calls. She has a way of calming me down, and making sure that I focus on the current task at hand. I am so very thankful that I ran across her website and read her story. Today it is incredibly rare to experience the bloat and discomfort. I can work out again and not feel drained. I’m getting my life back!
I believe Angela will be a part of my journey to remain healthy for a very long time.

I started working with Angela about 4 months ago. After our consult I had the GI screen with H Pylori. We found an imbalance with high levels of the E Coli and C freundi bacteriaand a (parasitic) level of Blastocysitis that were high and possible contributors to my IBS condition. This was after years of trying all kinds of elimination diets and numerous FMT treatments.
She helped me choose a regimen of supplements and plant based substances that gradually brought my system into a better place, and improved or eliminated many of the symptoms. I was feeling much better and looking forward to continued improvement, when I underwent surgery for a hernia.
Working with Angela has helped me find another option through the Viome testing procedure, which is a way of finding out how my body is processing food. This opens a new door for me that I wasn’t aware of, a way to know what foods to eat, and which ones may be causing problems.
Throughout this period, Angela has proved to be super knowledgeable and knows more about this condition than any doctor that I have worked with. She has a thorough understanding of gut health and illness, and brings a special expertise in dealing with this condition that could only come from someone who’s been there. The great thing in working with her is having some way of using concrete scientific results from the tests to tackle specific issues, instead of guessing what might be going on. I only wish I had her on my team years ago when this started.

“I just wanted to let you know that the plan you’ve put together for me is already showing positive results. I feel great, and wanted to send over a thanks.”
Jen Pradziad, Pennsylvania
I was officially diagnosed with SIBO by my GI doctor. My symptoms (bloating, exhaustion, headaches) were chronic. My GI doctor prescribed Xifaxan and no direction on diet or lifestyle. That protocol failed. I followed up with three additional protocols that did not work.
Angela’s input and knowledge was a breath of fresh air, particularly in comparison to the multiple GI doctors who appeared to be guessing on how to treat SIBO. I chose the plan to meet with Angela every two weeks for a three month period, and it was well worth the money and time investment. Angela clearly outlined a three-prong approach to my plan (supplements, diet, and lifestyle/stress reduction), and she stepped me through how to get the dosages right for my body, how to adjust my diet to starve the bacteria & to get back to my optimal weight, and how to start introducing stress-reduction techniques that I so desperately needed. The protocols I followed in 2017 were misguided for my body and lacked the “complete picture” that Angela was able to bring together for me. I also greatly appreciated the encouragement Angela gave (for example, she helped me realize that I should celebrate small successes and realize that this is a journey vs. feeling like there is a “magic pill” that will cure everything overnight). My overall mood and health are better than they have been in years.
Craig C., California
If you’re like me (all of sudden digestive problems like diarrhea have struck) you’ve searched the internet for advice and asked your family doctor. After testing my doctor said nothing was wrong with me and to try probiotics. I had a stack of IBS/SIBO books and diet plans and each one is different. I still had regular diarrhea, which was getting worse and I was totally confused. Because my Dr’s prescription meds scared me… I decided to try a digestive coach?
Angela had me fill out a questionnaire, we had a call and she was talked about different options and suggested a test. I took the test and we reviewed the results together. Angela suggested a course of action which included a few supplements. In two weeks the diarrhea stopped, after a month I was feeling great again.
I highly recommend Angela. She knows how to help you DIY!!!
Selina Bronstein, Chicago, Illinois
Previous to coming across DIY Health, I had been suffering with SIBO for 3 years with no answers from medical professionals and starting to lose hope.
I can now say that I am SIBO free and finally getting my life back!
Jessie Liskey, Chula Vista, California
“Angela showed up in my life at the perfect time. After an Internet search I found her website and my intuition told me to contact her. She is so easy to talk to and helpful. I can still contact her with questions and she responds almost immediately! Thank you Angela.”
Tine Elsborg, Denmark
“Thanks again for all your help, the diet and supplements are really doing me good.”
Kathleen D. from Saskatoon, Canada
Angela has worked with me for a few months on my IBS symptoms. The initial recommendations she made reduced my symptoms within a few weeks. I’m now following a herbal protocol she suggested based on the results of the tests she recommended.
Jane Alaimo San Anselmo, CA
“I worked with Angela for several months and I’m so glad I found her! She is sharp, committed, knowledgeable and a joy to work with. Not only did she make a big difference for me with my diet and digestive issues, but she also suggested simple lifestyle changes that i would never have considered. She has a deep grasp of IBS and cutting edge nutrition, and will work hard to find the right solution for you as an individual; she understands that each of us needs something different.”
Theresa Day San Francisco, CA
“With Angela’s kind and knowledgeable assistance, I have started my elimination diet of sorts and I am happy to share that I have not had an episode since.”
Alexia Marcous San Francisco, CA
I’m so grateful for Angela’s advice. I’ve had stomach aches my entire life and am thrilled to report that I am 99% stomach ache free since working with her. Angela inspired me to make difficult but empowering changes and I’m amazed at how much better I feel.”
Urszula Bunting Boulder, Colorado
“Angela has great healing energy. I contacted Angela for advice for my 9-year-old son who struggles with food allergies. Angela was very pleasant and really knew what she was talking about. And most important – she gave me hope and encouragement.”
Leila Castle Salt Lake City, Utah
“My own experience with DIY Health and Angela has helped me to go beyond my own limits to see that healing is possible with the right information and guidance that fits my individual problem. I started my journey, results are coming slowly, but it has given me a world of hope.”
Jamie Burton Los Angeles, California
“Angela came to me at a crucial time in my life. It was as if she had lived in my shoes and understood exactly what I was going through. Once I began to work with her she was even more amazing. She supported me emotionally, spiritually and in regards to my health. She is patient, kind, knowledgeable and open to suggestions.”
