"I strongly believe that gut health is the cornerstone of overall wellness. By nurturing our gut, we can boost our mood, energy, & resilience, paving the way to a healthier, happier life." This isn't just a professional opinion; it's a truth I've had to live and learn myself. Hello, I am Dr. Naomi Dongelmans. I'm an integrative general practitioner, a bestselling author, and a health & lifestyle coach. But before I was any of those things, I was a patient, and my journey into medicine started in my own childhood home. Growing up, my house was like a live-in allergy clinic. My sister, my parents, and I were all battling asthma and allergies, with a backdrop of more serious family health issues like cancer and Alzheimer's. My own body's story was written in prescriptions; frequent illnesses and a heavy reliance on antibiotics left me feeling trapped in a cycle of sickness. It wasn't until I put on my own white coat that I saw the bigger picture: the system I had worked so hard to be a part of was fundamentally failing the people who needed it most—especially women with chronic, hard-to-define illnesses. I became disillusioned with the quick fixes. I saw treatments that addressed symptoms rather than the root cause, leading to side effects without real healing. Every day, patients would come to me with debilitating digestive pain, hormonal chaos, and a level of fatigue that coffee couldn't touch. Yet, their lab results would come back "normal." They were left feeling unheard, managing symptoms with medication but never getting to the *why* behind their illness. My own story and the stories of my patients spurred my quest for a more genuine path to wellness. It was only when I turned my medical lens to the transformative power of gut health that everything finally started to make sense. My practice today is different. I bridge the gap between conventional medicine and holistic wellness. My coaching style is built on "real talk"—no fluff, no sugar-coating, and a firm belief in the power of imperfect action (yes, I'm a recovering perfectionist). We use a comprehensive approach to investigate your health, focusing on nutrition, lifestyle, and root-cause analysis to create a plan that empowers you to do more than just manage—it helps you thrive. This is for you if you're tired of being told "you're fine" when you know something is off. It's for you if you struggle with bloating, fatigue, brain fog, hormonal chaos, or an autoimmune condition and you are ready to become an active partner in your own health journey. ***How We Can Work Together*** My work is delivered through two main pathways, designed to provide the right level of support for your specific needs: 1. **Personal 1-on-1 Consultations:** For those who require a deep, personalized investigation into their health. We work together privately to create a completely tailored protocol to address your unique root causes. 2. **The 'Happy Gut, Healthy You' Program:** My signature group program that provides a complete, step-by-step blueprint for restoring gut health. It combines in-depth knowledge with community support and direct access to me in group coaching sessions. This entire journey—from the allergy-ridden child to the disillusioned doctor to the empowered integrative practitioner—has culminated in a single, clear mission: **to empower as many people as possible to age healthily, minimising medication and doctor visits through the transformative power of gut health.** Beyond the white coat, I'm a dancer who loves pink and glitter, and I believe that joy and a little bit of rebellion are essential parts of healing. I’ve learned that it is absolutely possible to combine your ambitions with a life that feels vibrant and balanced, and I've made it my life's work to show others how. Thank you for being here. Let's make prevention our mantra, together.
