Two Approaches Offered:
GAPS* Protocol Support
Personalized implementation of the GAPS* (Gut and Physiology/Psychology Syndrome) protocol, a recognized approach that has enabled many people to effectively reduce their symptoms related to various health problems*.
Focus: Digestive health, immune system, microbiota-targeted nutrition, and toxicity reduction.
Longevity & Vitality Optimization
Strategic guidance to adopt tailored nutrition and lifestyle habits that nourish your gut microbiota health while strengthening your physical fitness. Coaching and motivation for recommended training.
Focus: Body composition change for visibly appreciable results. Gain in strength, energy, and general long-term well-being.
*This protocol can be applied preventatively or established during the healing phase, but it is not a medical treatment in itself. No food supplements will be suggested or recommended as I am not a nutritionist member of the Quebec Order of Dietitians.

Testimonials
from George Visser, Bromont, Quebec.
The GAPS formula completely transformed my diet and allowed me to rediscover the best version of myself in spring 2025. I had been suffering from acute digestive problems for several months before Carmen's intervention. My SIBO-related symptoms were far from trivial: irritation, inflammation, bloating day and night, and this for a long period.I had tried to resolve the situation by consulting specialists, taking antibiotics, eliminating several foods, and trying an impressive number of expensive supplements. Nothing worked. The digestive discomfort gradually turned into anxiety and insomnia. I had to significantly slow down my pace of life, as my energy levels had plummeted, as did my weight — I had lost nearly 20 pounds of muscle mass.It was at this point that Carmen asked me to trust her and taught me the basics of the GAPS diet. I was skeptical at first, but since I was out of solutions, I was willing to try. After two weeks, my digestive issues began to subside, my energy returned, my anxiety decreased, and my sleep improved. The progress was consistent, and after two months, I had regained my normal weight and a state of well-being that I thought was lost forever.Surprisingly: by continuing GAPS for several months, I consider that at 54, I am more mentally and physically performant than I have been in the last ten years. I see the positive effects in my family, professional, social, and sports life.In short, Carmen's valuable advice and unique approach truly changed the course of my life. I am infinitely grateful to her, and I can say that the GAPS formula will continue to guide what I put on my plate as long as I eat and breathe!
Carmen has been accompanying me for 5 weeks now, both with the GAPS protocol and with muscular reinforcement training.
Being post-menopausal for 4 years, and having gained weight, I had a lot of difficulty finding the motivation to resume training, and I experienced several unpleasant symptoms related to digestion: inflammation, bloating, diverticula, discomfort.
In just 5 weeks of regular follow-ups with Carmen so far, both with the GAPS protocol and muscular training, I have regained the motivation to train, eliminated the unpleasant digestive symptoms, and I find myself with renewed energy! I am super grateful and motivated to continue.
