Feel More Supported, Informed, and in Control of Your Health
Gut and Glow is a personalized 13-week gut health coaching program for adults over 40 who are navigating digestive concerns, low energy, chronic pain, inflammation, weight changes, or metabolic concerns.
Rather than focusing on one symptom or prescribing a one-size-fits-all plan, we’ll look at the connections between your eating habits, gut health, metabolism, stress, sleep, movement, and lifestyle.
Through recorded weekly lessons, practical tools, and private check-ins with me, you’ll build a stronger foundation and create realistic habits that support your long-term wellness.

How Gut and Glow Works
Structured Education With Personalized Support
Gut and Glow gives you the convenience of working through recorded lessons on your schedule while still receiving personal guidance and accountability.
During the 13 weeks, you will:
- Work through one recorded lesson each week
- Complete practical activities and track relevant daily habits
- Record weekly weight and body-composition measurements using a SMART scale
- Meet privately with Mara each week for a 10–15-minute check-in
- Review your progress, measurements, questions, and challenges
- Receive personalized guidance based on your goals and circumstances
- Adjust your next steps as you move through the program
The weekly calls are focused accountability check-ins. They help you remain consistent, understand the material, ask questions, and identify where you may need additional support.
What Makes Gut and Glow Different?
Most wellness programs focus on a single concern, such as calories, weight, or food restrictions. Gut and Glow takes a more complete approach by exploring the connections between gut health, food, metabolism, stress, sleep, movement, and everyday habits.
The program uses the structured IN.FORM® curriculum as its educational foundation, combined with recorded lessons and personal guidance from Mara.
Your gut does more than digest food. It also plays important roles in the following:
That is why gut health is an important part of the Gut and Glow approach—but it is not the only part.
Together, we’ll look beyond individual symptoms and help you build a practical wellness foundation that fits your goals and lifestyle.

Hello! I’m Mara Gerke
CNHP, Gut Health Nutrition Specialist & Coach, Herbalist, and Aromatherapist
My approach grew from my own journey with CRPS, chronic pain, inflammation, fatigue, and digestive concerns. Improving my eating habits, supporting my gut health, managing stress, and making consistent lifestyle changes became important parts of rebuilding my wellness foundation.
Today, I combine that personal experience with more than 20 years of natural wellness education and professional training. I created Gut and Glow to give adults over 40 the structure, education, personal guidance, and accountability that can make meaningful lifestyle changes easier to maintain.
Who This Program May Not Be For
Gut and Glow is not a quick-fix diet, extreme detox, or overnight program.
This gut health coaching program may not be the right fit if you are:
- looking for rapid weight-loss shortcuts
- unwilling to make changes to eating or lifestyle habits
- expecting a one-size-fits-all solution
- searching for a temporary “band-aid” approach
Meaningful lifestyle changes require consistency, patience, and participation. Gut and Glow provides structure and support, but no particular health or weight outcome can be guaranteed.
Here’s What Past Clients Have Experienced…
– “Mara helped me when I was having trouble losing weight and suffering from lots of sinus issues. After losing 11 pounds, I noticed an increase in energy, fewer digestive issues, and less inflammation.”
– “At the end of the 90-Day Program, I had lost 14 pounds and a total of 16 inches. I also developed healthier habits that I can use moving forward to help me maintain an overall energetic lifestyle.”
– “I have known Mara since 2010, after being diagnosed with RSD/CRPS. Because of her own chronic pain journey, Mara has been able to help hundreds, if not thousands, of people. She is a wealth of information, diligent, and focuses specifically on your issues, recommending what will work best for you. I followed Mara’s recommendations, and I can say today, I am in remission!”
– “I have been working with Mara for many years, with chronic pain; it is a constant battle. There are no easy solutions, no quick fixes. However, finding someone to trust who is also on the journey and wants to make it easier, even through some of the rougher times, is equally difficult. But here we are. Aside from good counsel and great information, Mara is a fantastic friend. She is continually on a journey to help others, not only for people like me in chronic pain, but also for all those seeking better health. It’s a journey, just like life. A bonus was that, after just four weeks, I finally had more energy. I also dropped 6 pounds without going hungry.”

FAQ about Gut and Glow

Not at all. This holistic gut health coaching program offers a plan that focuses on whole, nutrient-dense foods, including fruits, vegetables, quality proteins, healthy fats, legumes, and whole grains, while allowing flexibility based on individual needs and goals.
What type of commitment and supplies are needed to do Gut and Glow?

You’ll also maintain a daily journal and record weekly measurements using a compatible SMART scale. The required SMART scale costs approximately $59–$99 and is purchased separately.
Will I have to buy expensive supplements?
Based on your intake and individual needs, I may provide education about optional protein powders, nutritional supplements, or herbal products that could offer additional support. Any products you choose are purchased separately. Consult your healthcare professional before using supplements if you take medication or have a medical condition.
When will I begin noticing changes?
Everyone responds differently. Some people first notice greater awareness of their eating patterns, digestion, energy, or daily habits. Other changes may take longer and depend on your starting point, consistency, lifestyle, and health history. No particular result or timeline can be guaranteed.
