Medical intuition & experience

Katarina has spent her entire life studying and experimenting with the gut in all its facets. She spends her days reading medical journals and advancing her education with the most recent science and published articles. Pulling from her medical intuition, she factors this as her main source of knowing what someone needs in order to heal. She is not only using this, she supports her intuition and life purpose of helping people heal with various completed formal education.

Katarina, owner of The Gut Lab Inc, is a Board Certified and Licensed Acupuncturist and Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner. Katarina is also a Registered Chinese Herbalist and is utilizes Biological Medicine and Somatic Energetics. She is currently pursuing her Universal PhD as her business is international. She completed a Chinese Doctoral Program in 2023, awaiting the board exam, offered only every two years. Her busy practice has been operating for over ten years and has grown on referrals alone.

After being diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2017, she knew there was so much more to healing the gut than just staying away from gluten. The removal of gluten did not alleviate her symptoms or make her feel any better. She struggled with childhood eczema, adult acne and weight management issues.

She tried every expensive naturopaths who put her on the same program that they put every other person on, milk thistle and evening primrose oil. Her symptoms would just get worse each time and she felt they were using textbook bandaid approaches, without addressing the root.

She started her post secondary education at Trinity Western University for nutrition, but felt more drawn to the holistic side of education. She did not find the Canadian Food Guide was the answer to her health and she knew medication was not the answer.

She researched the gut and began her holistic journey by becoming a Registered Nutritionist, working in several different naturopathic clinics early on in her career.

Katarina was talking and teaching about gut health before gut health was the well known medical staple it is today. People were unaware at that time the importance of the gut for the entire body and thought of the gut as only an elimination organ.

During her career in nutrition, she also worked for the top nutraceutical companies that are still dominating the health industry, from Genuine Health to Genestra. She learned all of their formulations and sat in the laboratories, studying the research. She became really educated and well informed in holistic practice, supplements and homeopathies.

The method was a specialization these doctors took with advanced medicine and chronic disease management. It originated in Europe and was the opposing theory to antibiotics. She began experimenting with different formulas and created her own method by accounting for todays chemicals and state of the gut, not only ancient textbook theory.

Her love for knowledge led her to complete all five years of the Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine program, Acupuncture, Chinese Herbology and Tuina Massage academics requirements and clinical hours. She passed her licensing exams and became a Board Certified Licensed Acupuncturist & Licensed Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner. This encompasses Registered Chinese Herbalist, Registered Acupuncturist + Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner.

Katarina finds her place in the industry by bridging the gap from Eastern Medicine to the current state of the world, encompassing all modern issues of chemicals and environmental pollution. You will not find her protocol in textbooks, she pulls intuitively and decides which method works best for the person.

A lot of claims are made similar to these, but Katarinas work is visible through her patient before and afters.
