Living with Gilbert’s Syndrome Online Course

“Amazing course. Professional, well explained and illuminating! Finally, I know where to start to understand my body-mind particularities. Thank you for your job!!”~ Lara Battaglia

“Years ago, I was told by my family Dr that I had Gilbert’s syndrome and that it was benign and absolutely nothing to worry about, but it wasn’t until recently that I began wondering if it could actually be contributing to my chronic health issues.

As I began researching, it became clear that information on this subject was scarce, and trying to put the pieces together myself was becoming frustrating and overwhelming.

Thankfully I stumbled across Maria’s course on Gilbert’s and am so thankful that I did!

She concisely breaks down what Gilbert’s is, how it affects the different systems and processes in the body and the diet, lifestyle, and supplements that will help get your body back to running as it should. I can’t believe that Drs dismiss this condition as benign!

Since I’ve been implementing Maria’s suggestions, I feel drastically different (better), and I finally understand where my body needs extra support and WHY it’s been struggling for so long! If you have Gilbert’s, you absolutely need this information, and this course is the only (as far as I know) consolidated source on this subject. Very thankful that Maria took the time to put this together!” ~ S. Regan

“I just finished the online course about managing Gilberts Syndrome by Maria Allerton with True Foods Nutrition. I was diagnosed this past month and confirmed with DNA test) after a baffling year of trying to figure out what the heck was happening to me. The online classes were easy to follow while extremely detailed and informative. They did not cost much at all especially considering how much money I’ve already wasted on clueless doctors, worthless supplements and misguided testing.

“Dear Maria,

Your clinical expertise and scholarly research in the study of Gilbert’s Syndrome has been life-changing.  After a recent horrible experience with a medication, I remembered that 15 years ago, I was told that I had Gilbert’s Syndrome, but not to worry, that it was a benign condition.   I started researching to see what the current medical view was. There did not appear to be any change in the thinking of conventional doctors. Then I listened to your interview on an FX Medicine podcast, and knew that I had stumbled upon the first medical professional in my life who had answers for my intermittent health issues. You were truly a beacon.  It all made so much sense and matched my experiences since puberty.  I went on to confirm my diagnosis through 23 and Me, and found I have 3 homozygous SNPs on UGT1A1 and am homozygous for the MTHFR SNP as well.  I read your blogs and was so pleased to learn that you now offer a 10 hour course on Gilbert’s Syndrome, which I devoured, and will regularly consult. I highly recommend it and feel that the cost was minimal when compared to the extremely high degree of benefit.

I have been eating quite well and exercising for decades, but that alone did not solve problems with constipation, depression, sleep issues, and inability to tolerate most medications. My attempts to take birth control pills decades ago was a disaster, bio-identical hormone therapy after a hysterectomy led to blood tests that revealed an inordinately high level of estrogen my body didn’t clear. Thyroid medication worked for about a week before I felt worse.  I thought I had a heart attack during a stretch of work stress and skipped meals, and the only finding was high bilirubin, and it was chalked up to indigestion.  I have had stretches of extreme fatigue and hypersensitivity to molds. I do not tolerate gluten or dairy well. The diet and supplements you suggest have been wonderful, particularly Calcium d’Glutarate to support glucuronidation and Bifida strain probiotics to heal the imbalance of gut strains. I also rest easy knowing you are available for consults as needed for myself, my children, and my grandchildren.

I also want to say, in regards to the family indicators you identify, that  I see my mother’s challenges with depression and alcoholism in her menopausal years and my father’s death from a toxin-related cancer in his 40s differently now.  These things are possibly related to their genetics and detoxification difficulties, and thus their hurdles to health were never addressed.  I also have a daughter who had high bilirubin findings as a teen in extreme pain, ruled unimportant by the doctors in the ER.  She later had to have her gallbladder removed at age 28.  All of these issues were layered over a family who appeared to be in perfect health and doctors who provided few explanations for problems.

You have given me a new lens to view my own and my family’s health and how best to support my body and stay healthy.  I am truly grateful for your intellectual skills, courage, and stamina in taking on this dangerous misconception among conventionally trained doctors.  Gilbert’s is definitely not a benign condition for me.

Thank you, Maria.”
