Rooted: The Gut Healing Blueprint
with Dr. Kristen Fincham
For women with IBS, Crohn's, Colitis, SIBO, Diverticulitis who want lasting relief, the ability to eat without fear, and the freedom to enjoy life without the toilet calling the shots…
All new clients begin with a 45-minute Initial Gut Health Assessment
Here we go friends, embarrassing story time…
I pooped myself at a beach.
In a bathing suit.
With my friends waiting for me down by the water.
I saw the bathrooms. They were right there, maybe 100 yards up this steep hill. I thought I could make it.
I couldn't.
And when I walked back down to tell my friends what happened... I tried to laugh it off.
But inside? I was terrified.
Because that wasn't a one-time thing.
That was my LIFE now.
I'd gone from being a Division 1 athlete to someone who couldn't trust her own body for five minutes.
I was sleeping 14+ hours a day and still exhausted.
I had debilitating stomach cramps that would drop me to the floor.
And the urgency? It was constant.
If I didn't make it to a bathroom within five minutes, I wasn't making it at all.
I saw doctor after doctor after doctor.
CT scans. Colonoscopies. Bloodwork. You name it, I did it.
Every single test came back "normal."
Every visit ended the same way.
"We're not sure what's wrong. Here's a prescription."
Prilosec. Linzess. Imodium. Pepto. Miralax.
Band-aids. All of them.
Nothing actually fixed the problem.
So I lived in fear.
Fear of eating the wrong thing.
Fear of being too far from a bathroom.
Fear that this was just... it. My life now.
I remember lying in bed one night thinking, "Is this really how the rest of my life is going to be?"
I’m Guessing You Know the Feeling
Maybe you haven't pooped yourself at a beach.
But you've had close calls.
You've canceled plans because your stomach "wasn't cooperating."
You've mapped out every bathroom between your house and wherever you're going.
You've stared at a menu and thought, "Is this going to destroy me later?"
You've felt that panic rise when you're stuck in traffic or on a plane or in a meeting and you feel it coming.
And worst of all?
You've probably been dismissed.
Told it's "just stress."
Told to "try cutting out gluten" or "take a probiotic.
Told that your test results are "normal" so there's nothing really wrong.
But YOU know something's wrong.
Because normal people don't live like this.
Normal people don't plan their entire day around their digestive system.
Normal people don't feel trapped in their own body.
Here's what I figured out after 10+ years of suffering.
The doctors weren't lying when they said nothing was "wrong."
But they also weren't looking at the right things.
Because gut issues like IBS, Crohn's, and Colitis aren't just about one broken part.
They're about a damaged system.
Your gut lining is compromised.
Your microbiome is out of balance.
Your body is stuck in a constant state of inflammation and alarm.
And all those prescriptions? They're just turning down the volume on the alarm.
They're not fixing the damage.
I hold a Doctorate in Pharmacology, a Master's in Health Care Decision Analysis, and a Bachelor's in Food Science.
So I didn't just Google my way through this.
I spent over a decade digging into research, testing elimination diets, trying every supplement, and studying every angle of gut health I could find.
And eventually, I built my own system.
Not a fad diet. Not a miracle pill.
A complete, evidence-based protocol that actually heals the gut from the ROOT.
And it worked.
For the first time in over 10 years, I felt safe in my own body again.
I wasn't running to the bathroom.
I wasn't in constant pain.
I could eat without fear.
I had more energy in my 30s than I did in my 20s.
I could finally trust my gut again.
And because I KNOW how many women are still living the way I used to…
I created Rooted: The Gut Healing Blueprint.
This is the exact system I used to heal myself.
And it's the same system I've used to help women like Farah, who was dealing with 7 urgent diarrhea episodes a day... and got down to 1 solid, predictable poop in just 5 weeks.
Or Susan, who was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and hadn't had a complete bowel movement in YEARS... until 2 weeks into the program.
Or Bonnie, who struggled with diverticulitis flare-ups for 20 years and constant diarrhea for over 2 months... and was back to normal, solid bowel movements in 4 weeks. She literally told me, "I just feel so GOOD, Kristen. I feel so good!"
That's what's possible when you stop masking symptoms and start healing the actual damage
Here's the truth most people won't tell you.
Healing your gut isn't about finding the ONE food that's causing all your problems.
It's not about taking the right probiotics.
It's not about "just managing stress better."
It's about addressing ALL the factors that are keeping your gut in a constant state of crisis.
And that means:
Removing the poisons that are quietly destroying your gut lining every single day (and yes, some of these are hiding in "health foods").
Healing the physical damage to your intestinal lining so it can actually do its job again.
Rebuilding your microbiome so you have the RIGHT bacteria helping you digest food instead of the wrong bacteria causing inflammation.
Calming your nervous system because gut healing isn't just physical…it's mental and emotional too.
Creating sustainable routines around sleep, hydration, movement, and stress so your body can actually STAY healed.
That's what we do in Rooted.
Not through guesswork.
Not through restriction.
Through a clear, structured, step-by-step system that builds over 12 weeks.
The Rooted Protocol: Restore, Rebuild, Revitalize
This isn't complicated. But it IS thorough.
Because your gut didn't break overnight and it won't heal overnight either.
But if you follow the process? You WILL heal.
Here's how it works.
Phase 1: Restore (Weeks 1-4)
This is where we calm the chaos.
Right now, your gut is constantly inflamed, constantly under attack, constantly trying to keep up with the damage.
So we start by removing what's causing the damage.
Not forever. Just long enough for your body to catch its breath and start repairing.
You'll cut out the hidden irritants that are fueling inflammation. Things like toxic oils, added sugars, and artificial additives that are in damn near everything.
And we'll get back to basics. Hydration, sleep, and nourishment that calms your system instead of agitating it.
This is the phase where most women start to feel relief.
Less bloating.
Fewer urgent bathroom trips.
The first glimpse of what it feels like to trust your body again.
Phase 2: Rebuild (Weeks 5-8)
Now that inflammation is down and your gut isn't in full panic mode, we can start rebuilding.
This is where we strengthen your gut lining and repopulate your microbiome with the RIGHT bacteria.
You'll learn how to use specific supplements to repair the physical damage.
You'll add in prebiotics, probiotics, and fiber the right way to feed the beneficial bacteria and crowd out the harmful ones.
And you'll build simple, sustainable meal structures that give your body consistency and stability.
This is the turning point.
Where symptoms fade.
Where energy returns.
Where you start to feel like yourself again.
Phase 3: Revitalize (Weeks 9-12)
This is where we lock it in.
Because healing your gut isn't just about the 12 weeks you're in the program.
It's about making sure you don't slide back into old patterns that got you here in the first place.
So we bring in the practices that create resilience.
Stress management tools so anxiety doesn't undo your progress.
Movement practices that support digestion without overdoing it
Protocols that give your gut time to rest and repair.
And mindset work to help you finally feel SAFE in your body again.
By the end of this phase, you're not just symptom-free.
You're thriving.
You wake up with energy.
You eat meals without fear.
You plan your life around what you WANT to do, not where the nearest bathroom is.

Susan
“For two years, I had uncontrollable bowel movements causing me to go to various doctors. I underwent three colonoscopies,endoscopic procedure, and took various medications. I went to an immunologist and two different natural path doctors with no luck.
I was looking for somebody in the nutritional field as well as someone familiar with supplements.. that was the piece I was missing.
I had heard about Kristen‘s book and read it,reached out to her,and signed up for her program. Within two weeks everything stopped.
I was shocked at how quickly things changed ..
One of the things that drew me to Kristen‘s program was that she had a pharmaceutical background which gave her another part of understanding supplements as well as what’s in our foods…
The recipes that she gave me were easy to put together and tasted amazing.
The eating plan really helped me through a busy day as well as teaching me what to look for when going out to dine.
Life is stressful
I will be forever grateful 😀” - Susan C.
Jamie:
“Working with Med-Free Pharm.D was an incredible experience from start to finish. Dr. Fincham’s knowledge and expertise in gut health are truly unmatched, and it was clear from our very first meeting that she genuinely cares about helping her clients heal from the inside out. The intake process was thorough and thoughtful, setting the foundation for a personalized plan that actually made sense for me.
Throughout the entire journey, Dr. Fincham was responsive, supportive, and refreshingly honest when I needed clarity or a reality check. She always took an education-first approach, helping me understand why certain changes were important rather than just telling me what to do. The program she designed went far beyond simple symptom management, it focused on identifying root causes and creating realistic, sustainable solutions.
From interpreting lab results to guiding me through nutrition and exercise changes, Dr. Fincham brought everything together in a way that made healing feel achievable. I can confidently say that working with her has been one of the best investments I’ve made for my health and well-being.” - Jamie E.
Bonnie:
“Kristen is amazing. I’m 74 and I’ve suffered for 20 years with IBS. In June I got a horrible case of diverticulitis and went to two doctors and all they did was give me antibiotic's. Never asked about my diet or anything else. My stepdaughters stepsister went to Kristen as she had been suffering for years with iBS and gut issues and told me how great she felt since working with Kristen.
I gave Kristen a call and she told me about her program, so I decided to give it a try. Boy, I am so happy I called her. She is so knowledgeable on the gut and how it functions and she taught me what we put in our body will either heal it or keep it ravaged. I learned so much from her. I now read the labels on everything and know what to stay away from. Along with learning what healthy
foods really are, I lost 22 lbs. I now feel better than I’ve felt in many many years. I have no pain in my joints from eating fried, sugary and salty unhealthy foods. She also teaches you that a lot of what’s going on in your brain along with maybe past trauma can really affect your gut. If you have issues that aren’t getting better, call Kristen. You won’t regret it.” - Bonnie M.
Ali:
“I can't say enough good things about working with Kristen! I came in struggling with indigestion and inflammation that had been bothering me for months, and I finally feel like I have my body back.
She took the time to really understand what was going on—not just the symptoms, but the root causes. With a few key changes to my diet, routine, and supplements (that actually made sense for me), I started seeing results pretty quickly.
What I loved most is that Kristen made everything feel manageable and encouraging—never overwhelming. I’ve learned so much about how my body works and how to support it in a way that feels sustainable.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone who truly listens, guides with care, and helps you feel better from the inside out!” - Ali. C

I’ve been where you are.
I suffered for over 10 years…
with debilitating digestive symptoms, fatigue, and urgency that controlled my life.
I saw specialist after specialist. CT scans, colonoscopies, blood work. Every test came back “normal.” I was handed prescriptions, but nothing addressed the root cause.
With a Doctorate in Pharmacology and a background in Food Science, I started digging deeper. I studied the research, tested protocols, eliminated what didn’t work, and built a structured system that finally healed my gut.
Today, I’m symptom-free. And I’ve helped women like you reach lasting relief in as little as 12 weeks.
