Hi, I’m Emma Ford.

Clinical Nutritionist (CNP), gut & hormone expert - your guide to reclaiming your health & wellbeing.

HEALTH IS INTRINSIC.

YOU ARE INNATELY WIRED TO HEAL.

Symptoms are signals of dis-ease— of disconnection between the mind and body.

They’re messengers from within, asking for your attention.

For over 10 years, I struggled with chronic symptoms and diagnoses including IBS, SIBO, Celiac disease, anxiety, and Complex PTSD.

My days revolved around gut pain, bloating, brain fog, fatigue, adult acne, anxiety, depression, brutal PMS, and a toxic relationship with food. I bounced between specialists, restrictive diets, and protocols —yet healing remained out of reach.

I tried it all: medications, herbs, supplements, elimination diets, meal plans, herbal medicine, acupuncture, therapy, & even energy healing…only to be left with short term results, no clarity & a supplement graveyard.

Something was always missing: a method that integrated my biology and my inner world.

That missing link became the foundation for what is now the Gut Sense Method —a clinically informed, whole-person approach to deep, sustainable healing & reclamation of true health.

It’s the method that finally helped me reclaim resilient digestion, clear skin, balanced cycles, food freedom and peace within my body and mind.

Most importantly, it gave me the clarity and calling to help others do the same!

Hi Love, I’m Emma.

Clinical Nutritionist (CNP), gut & hormone expert, and the founder of Gut Sense Health.

I work with clients globally who are tired of managing symptoms at the surface and are ready to resolve their symptoms at the root — mentally, physically, and emotionally.

My work blends advanced functional lab testing, whole-person protocols, exploration of emotional health and a deep understanding of the nervous system.

This method has helped 500+ clients transform their relationship with their bodies, resolve long-standing gut and hormone symptoms, and finally feel safe and energized again.

Before building Gut Sense, I worked in integrative clinics alongside MDs, NDs, chiropractors, and mental health professionals.

I kept seeing the same thing: well-meaning advice or treatment plans that didn’t stick because it didn’t support the whole human.

That’s when I knew we needed a new way forward—one that merges science, intuition, and education with radical care and embodiment.

Gut Sense Health was born from that vision.

If you’re ready to move from survival mode to true coherence and vitality, I’d be honoured to support you!

WHAT SETS GUT SENSE APART?

  • BIO-INDIVIDUALIZED CARE

    No two bodies are the same — so no two protocols should be either…

    I use advanced lab testing, symptom assessment, health history, and emotional health audits to build personalized plans that reflect your unique biology, lifestyle, and goals.

    Your healing plan is built for you—not for the algorithm.

  • TRUE INTEGRATIVE CARE

    You are not a collection of disconnected symptoms — you’re a whole human.

    I address the physical, emotional, biochemical, and energetic layers of your health so you can achieve true coherence.

    We heal faster when all systems are speaking the same language.

  • EDUCATION & EMPOWERMENT

    My job isn’t to tell you what to do —it’s to help you understand why it works.

    I teach you how your body functions, how to interpret your results, and how to become your own best health advocate.

    You leave our work together with knowledge, clarity, and confidence.

  • REALISTIC HEALTH PLANS

    A plan you can’t follow isn’t a plan —it’s pressure.

    I meet you where you’re at and build practical, flexible recommendations that fit into real life.

    Sustainable change is the most effective!

  • NOT SUPPLEMENTING SYMPTOMS

    I don’t throw supplements at symptoms…

    You’ll only get targeted, intentional supplement recommendations based on what your body actually needs —not what’s trending on TikTok.

    We go beyond the bandaid and straight to the root.

  • LEVERAGING ADVANCED LAB TESTING

    If we’re not testing, we’re guessing.

    I use functional lab testing to identify the deeper causes of your symptoms—gut dysfunction, hormone imbalance, detox issues, or a malfunctioning stress response system.

    Lab data clears the fog and helps us take targeted, effective action.

  • BUILT IN ACCOUNTABILITY

    Building new habits & exploring your inner self isn’t always easy or comfortable…

    All of my programs include chat access messaging support so you can get answers, encouragement, and clarity in real-time.

    I’m here to support your process, not just your protocol.

  • COMMITMENT YOU CAN COUNT ON

    I’m deeply committed to your healing—not just as a practitioner, but as fellow human who’s been there…

    This isn’t just work for me. It’s my calling, my joy, and my deepest source of meaning.

    You’re in the driver’s seat—and I’m in the passenger’s seat with a map, guiding you through the turns with care, commitment and strategy.

a little more about me

    • I love creating nourishing, gluten-free desserts that don’t taste “healthy.”

    • Nature is my reset button & greatest connecter to my essence —I’m happiest in a forest, on a mountain or swimming in wild water.

    • I’m a deep diver into all things spirituality, energetics, Human Design, somatics, emotional health and the nervous system.

    • I’m live for slow mornings, deep conversations, travel, the ocean, story telling, animals & any season of Real Housewives <3

    • Your body is wired to heal—when given what it needs and freed from what it doesn’t.

    • Healing isn’t about controlling symptoms. It’s about reconnecting your body, mind, and beliefs.

    • You don’t need 20+ supplements or another elimination diet—you need clarity.

    • Functional data and nervous system work together to guide your transformation.

    • When you reconnect to your body’s wisdom, everything changes.

    • Emotional health influences your physiology; suppressed or unexpressed emotions manifest as micro stressors to your system - even if you aren’t consciously aware of them.
