Do you ever wish someone could help you figure out the right nutrition plan for you to manage your Crohn’s or Colitis symptoms?

Do you want to stop guessing about nutrition, and find what’s going to actually work and what things you can just let go of?

Maybe you’re confused by all the contradictory information you see online.

Or you’d like to figure out what the the experts are discovering about IBD, but you don’t know where you go to find reliable information.

You might feel worn out from trying to keep up with all the different diets (SCD, AIP, Paleo, Low FODMAP, etc.).

And let me guess… you’ve also googled “What to Eat for IBD” and found a million ideas on what not to eat and no answer to what in the world do I eat?!

As a result of trying to figure it out –  perhaps now you’ve restricted your diet so much that you are down to only a few “safe” foods.

You know nutrition matters with IBD and want to reclaim the freedom you’ve been missing by not having to spend so much energy and time on guessing at what works… you just need someone who knows what works and could just walk you through the process.

You’re not alone. A lot of people like you just need a little guidance in finding what’s truly evidence based nutrition- and what really works.

We are proud to have helped hundreds of IBD patients like you each year find symptom reduction, improved energy and be able to expand their diets. If you are ready to stop guessing and hand it over to experts- we got you covered!

That’s why we have created a brand new group program specifically for IBD patients that…

 

  • Are tired of general surface nutrition guidance & irrelevant handouts
  • Are tired of being told nutrition doesn’t matter (despite the overwhelming evidence)
  • Know that nutrition does matter but need to know how to make it work
  • Are tired of restricting everything and not getting results
  • Need answers from experts who live and breathe IBD nutrition
  • Are ready to be around community that “get it”
  • Are ready to not have to explain themselves to another health care professional
  • Want the latest research in IBD nutrition but don’t want to spend hours searching for it
  • Just want to reduce symptoms & feel like themselves again

IBD Symptom Remission Is Possible.

It is possible to create a nutrition plan that helps you achieve symptom remission and stay symptom-free longer. You can figure out a long-term nutrition solution that complements your medical treatment plan and helps you reduce your risk in the long term.

It’s also possible to expand your diet so you don’t feel so restricted, and choose meal plans that don’t feel overwhelming.

We can give you an evidence-based approach that gives you a clear plan for what to put on your plate to help you reduce your symptoms and stop guessing on what is effective.

Hi, We are the

Crohn’s and Colitis Dietitians™

Hi-  I’m Ashley Hurst and I lead this group program alongside my team- Taryn Mattern, Rebecca Goodrich, Danielle Leffler and Christa Smith. We have a private practice where we serve many Crohn’s and Colitis patients and those living with other painful digestive conditions.

I’ve created this group program specifically for IBD patients seeking a place to start. After my diagnosis, I felt confused and disappointed by my limited treatment options – so I dedicated the next 10 years to learning everything I could about managing IBD symptoms with nutrition.

As a team, we have had the privilege of working with hundreds of patients with digestive challenges, and we have seen the incredible transformations that are possible for people with IBD.

In our current practice, we primarily work one-on-one with patients – but now I want to bring this evidence-based approach to more people, in an affordable group coaching format.

That’s why I’ve created this group program.

Introducing Crohn’s & Colitis Remission Blueprint

Crohn’s & Colitis Remission Blueprint (CCBR) is a program that combines-

 

Weekly 1:1 support in community with other IBD warriors

Nutrition guidebook that’s yours to keep with research cited

Meal guide & plan that’s yours to keep

Videos over common nutrition questions

 

This program is designed to give you the latest research on IBD and nutrition in a user-friendly format, so you can find out what really works for IBD & what things you can let go of.

You get the information you need, without getting overwhelmed by conflicting opinions online. We even explain why there are disagreements on nutrition topics and what’s missing from the conversation so you’ll leave more confident and less confused.

The most common things we hear from those finishing are:

“I feel so much more confident in what works for IBD & less confusion and fear at meal time”

“I have less symptoms now and have included things I thought I couldn’t have”

With CCRB you’ll have everything you need to reduce your risk of flare up, reduce symptoms & feel more confident about what the most effective strategies for nutrition are. 

I'm Ready

Here’s How It Works:

  • Each week for 3 months, you’ll have access to 1:1 customized guidance in community with others with IBD. If you can’t make it- don’t worry! You can submit your questions or challenges and watch the recording at your convenience.
  • You’ll also receive the IBD nutrition guidebook that’s yours to keep. It’s 142 pages of up to date nutrition strategies for IBD- all referenced directly to research. This is full of everything we use in our private practice to help our clients improve energy and reduce symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, urgency and constipation.
  • You’ll also receive a Meal Guide & Plan which is over a month of meal ideas, grocery lists and ways you can creatively use what you already have on hand!
  • AND you’ll receive weekly videos around deep dives on commonly asked questions and topics in IBD nutrition. They will present the latest research but in easy to understand manageable chunks.

Concerned you won’t finish everything? Not to worry – we offer a catch up week each month AND we give you a whole extra bonus month to finish and download the meal guide, handbook, slides and catch up on any videos.

Get Results 

What’s most important is not what you learn but the results you get from implementing what you learn.

We have had hundreds of IBD patients like you take our program and we have seen results like the ones to the right.

We have seen hundreds of IBD patients with all different levels of severity improve energy, reduce symptoms and expand their diets using the tools we provide in our program. 

 

Stop Guessing and Have a Plan

The value of handing over your nutrition to experts is huge.

When you hand over your nutrition to people who have spent years dedicated to understanding what works for IBD – it allows for you to find the most effective strategies quicker AND reduces your stress significantly since you are no longer guessing. 

In the same way that searching forums to find how much medication to take wouldn’t lead to great results- leaving your nutrition to google/forums doesn’t either.

As practitioners, we spend hours each week reading research to keep up with the ever changing landscape of IBD nutrition so that you don’t have to.

If you feel like you are guessing- we got you covered in our program!

Money Back Guarantee

I’m so confident you’ll love this program and all of the practical implementation that I’m happy to refund you for the program if after the first 10 days you feel like it’s not for you. I’ve created this program to be a comprehensive and complete guide to Nutrition for IBD and as much support as you need. I’m proud of all the people we have helped with it but I do recognize that it’s not for everyone.

Hear from other group program participants…

Will & Karen

What I’ve liked most about this program is being able to have all of the answers I need all in one place. As a mom, I was concerned for my son and using forums and google searches to get the information I needed which I knew wasn’t the best. Now instead of guessing, I feel we have a solid nutrition plan in place and the tools we need to get through the ups and downs of IBD. I feel much more confident in my sons (Will) food choices & nutrition plan. 

Randi

I had been in a flare for over 12 years and didn’t know what remission was like, after 3 months with Ashley I’m finally in remission! I can honestly say that she has changed my life! I was very hesitant to try out what I thought would be more generic advice at but I was pleasantly surprised. She doesn’t judge your case based on someone else’s and she truly listens to you. I HIGHLY recommend her, especially if you have IBD, Crohn’s or Colitis!

Becky 

I don’t think I’ll ever go without the support of a Dietitian after working through this program. I learned about which supplements were most effective and was able to cut back on non-essential things I was taking. I’ve noticed a big reduction in my gut symptoms and even joint pain after incorporating what I learned. I enjoyed how concise and seamless the process was. I honestly wish I would have had access to this program sooner!
