FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 What’s the ‘Healthy Gut, Healthy Weight Solution’ about?

I have developed the online course after working with clients in my clinic for over 20yrs.

I share my experience and knowledge of how the health of the gut plays a role with achieving a healthy weight.

I have identified over 12 factors that I believe need to be brought into balance, to allow the body to return to health. The modules cover all 12 factors I have found in the clinic hinder or block the bodies’ ability to achieve a healthy weight. By identifying and beginning to address these, you will help your body to mobilise stubborn fat stores.

Aspects such as nutrition, gut health, inflammation, hormones, blood sugar levels, stress, sleep, mindset, emotions, lifestyle, exercise and self-care are all covered. Over 6 weeks, I help you identify and start to address which are appropriate for you to work with in your journey to a healthier gut and weight.

All throughout, I give suggestions for nutrient rich wholefoods and using food as medicine.

The course challenges some traditional diet myths and focuses on a healthy wholefood approach to nourishing your body with food to achieve a healthy body and mind, thereby a healthy balanced weight.

Why is this course different from other Weight Management Programs?

This course is led by a qualified Naturopath, Nutritionist and Nurse, Sandra Tenge with over 25 yrs experience. Many online programs are run by influencers with little training, experience or qualifications. Sandra also comes with her own personal experience with gut health and peri-menopause and is very relatable and real in her approach. 

This course covers not only behavioral factors that influence healthy weight, but an extensive understanding of how whole body health and particularly gut health influences your ability to achieve a healthy weight long term.

 Is the course a diet?

No, the course is predominantly an education in how the health of the gut plays a role with achieving a healthy weight. Aspects such as nutrition, inflammation, gut health, hormones, blood sugar levels, stress, sleep, mindset, emotions, lifestyle, exercise and self-care are all covered as well as giving suggestions for nutrient rich wholefoods.

The course challenges some traditional diet myths and focuses on a healthy wholefood approach to nourishing your body with food to achieve a healthy body and mind, thereby a healthy balanced weight.

What you eat plays a major role in a healthy gut and healthy body and I speak through the course about nourishing the body with nutrient-rich wholefoods.

The information in the course includes how food choices can significantly impact all areas. Healthy swaps and suggestions that use food as medicine are given in each module of the course.

If you prefer structure, the course comes with access to 3 of my top programs with recipes, meal plans and shopping lists.

You can choose to follow one of these 3 plans as you make your way through the course, or you are welcome to follow your own meal plan or prescribed diet if you have one from a health practitioner.

 I cook for a family / my partner. Can they also follow the meal plan?

Yes, the meals are suitable for a family. Your whole house will benefit from the healthy wholefood recipes suggested in the course.

 Can someone else prepare my meals?

Yes, the recipes are easy to follow and can be easily prepared for you. Some can also be made ahead of time and frozen.

Is the course run online?

Yes, the course is delivered over 6 weeks with 1 bonus week’s module at the end. It can be accessed anywhere in the world and runs continually. The content is delivered via recorded videos, presentations and downloadable resources. A private facebook group also shares content, Q and A sessions and community support.

Group coaching calls are an additional option and are done via zoom. Individual one-on-one coaching is also an option when availability allows.

 How long do I have access to the course?

The course runs over 6 weeks with an additional bonus module in week 7. Access to the course continues afterwards for those that don’t complete all modules in the set time. In total you can access the course for 12 weeks. All resources can be downloaded and are yours to keep indefinitely to continue to refer to.

 How do I log in to the course?

Once you’ve enrolled, you’ll be sent an email with your login details. This will allow you to access the portal where you’ll find all the resources and materials to get started on week one of the course. 

The following weeks will be unlocked one at a time to give you time to keep up to date. You will be able to go back and access previous weeks content and download resources.

Can I access the course on my phone/mobile/ tablet?

The course can be viewed on any device - your phone, laptop, tablet or desktop.

Can I share my membership?

The program is designed for you individually with your own personal access. The modules are designed that as you make your way through the weeks, your journey to understanding your own factors holding you back from achieving a healthy gut and healthy weight are identified and addressed. 

Therefore we require a commitment that you won’t share the content with those not enrolled.

What time commitment does the course require?

The content can be viewed at your own leisure. The videos are short, around 5-10 minutes. They are concise and full of useful information, but not too heavy. 

We have structured the course so that you see real change and an improvement in your health in a guided way that is easy to consume. With the additional resources and reading, we estimate between 15-30 minutes a day. The content is delivered each week, so you can access a lesson a day or sit down with a cup of tea to work through a whole module once a week.
