The doctor behind the method
Naturopathic Doctor and certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (FMCP-M), in practice since 2009. More than 1,500 patients, integrative medical clinics in Toronto and Sydney, Australia, and published work in an integrative medicine textbook.
Before becoming a doctor, Laura studied anatomy and cell biology at McGill, and that is still how she thinks. A gut is not a symptom to silence. It is a whole microenvironment that can be studied. Early in her practice, IBS cases started finding her, and something clicked: when someone finally looked properly, the symptoms stopped being a mystery. She became curious, kept refining, and seventeen years later she is still at it.
She also knows the other side of the desk. She has had her own health struggles, still works on her wellbeing every day, and remembers exactly what it is like to be told it is probably stress and walk out holding a pamphlet.
Nothing in this work means more to her than watching a woman who has been dismissed for years finally get real answers about her own body.
Before you book, you probably want to know
Why is the program a significant investment?
Because nothing in it is guesswork. It covers the functional testing that looks for what is actually driving your symptoms (a comprehensive stool test, an organic acid test, and bloodwork through a nurse practitioner, with follow-up bloodwork at months three and six), plus six months of one-on-one sessions with Dr. Brass and hands-on nutritionist support between visits. You have probably already spent money on supplements and appointments that went nowhere. This is built so the spend finally goes somewhere.
I have already tried a naturopath, functional medicine, and elimination diets. Why would this be different?
Because most of what you have tried was guessing dressed up as personalization. Elimination diets, probiotics, and supplement stacks all treat symptoms without ever confirming what is happening in your gut. Here the testing comes first, and your protocol is built from what your results actually show, not from a template every IBS patient gets.
How do I know this will work for me?
Dr. Brass does not guarantee outcomes, because she is not willing to promise something she cannot control. Your body, your history, and your response are yours. What she offers is a real process instead of a promise: full testing, a plan built from your actual results, and six months of her and her team staying in it with you.
Is everything virtual?
Yes. The practice is based in Toronto and consultations run virtually. Test kits are arranged for you, and bloodwork is drawn through a nurse practitioner. Bring your location questions to the Discovery Call and you will get straight answers.
What happens on the free Discovery Call?
Thirty minutes with Dr. Brass. You share the short version of your story: symptoms, what has been ruled out, what you have tried. She gives you her honest read on whether your case fits The Gut Source Method, and which testing she would start with. If it is not a fit, she says so and points you somewhere more useful.
What if my tests already came back normal?
That is exactly who this is for. Standard workups rule out structural disease. The functional testing in this program measures the microbiome, digestion, and nutrient processing: a different question your previous tests never asked.
Do I stop seeing my GP or gastroenterologist?
No. This work complements your medical care and never replaces it. Ruling out structural disease was a necessary step, and your own clinicians stay your own clinicians.
How much time does the program take?
One 60-minute session with Dr. Brass each month for six months, nutritionist check-ins every two weeks, and testing at the start, with core bloodwork rechecked around months three and six. It is designed around a full working calendar, not a sabbatical.
Managed forever, or actually answered?
You already know the management road: another elimination round, another probiotic, another month organized around a condition nobody has fully investigated. The other road is investigation: map your full health story, measure what is happening, address it at the source, and adjust until it holds. Dr. Brass takes on a limited number of new clients each month, and when a month fills, the next start is the following month.
