WHO IS ‘GUT MECHANIC’?

Gut Mechanic is operated by Australian-based ANTA-Accredited Clinical Nutritionist Rebecca Drummond (BHScNutDMed).

Rebecca suffered from gut and digestive complaints from a young age. Over the years numerous health providers labelled this as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) despite the ongoing discomfort and anaemia she was experiencing. However traditional IBS treatments failed to improve her symptoms.

Rebecca took matters into her own hands in 2014 and enrolled in a Bachelor of Health Science. Part-way through her studies she realised her symptoms were indicative of coeliac disease. A diagnosis followed shortly after (along with Hashimoto’s disease and a nickel allergy) - finally the cause of her lifelong gut issues had been uncovered and recovery could commence!

After more than a decade working in the automotive/motorsport industry, Rebecca graduated from university as a Clinical Nutritionist and established her clinical practice with the aim of supporting others to manage their gut & digestive issues and improve their health and wellbeing - thus Gut Mechanic was born.

Rebecca is passionate about gut health and the human microbiome (aka a ‘gut geek’) and has undertaken extensive further study in this field to enhance her clinical specialisation, including obtaining The Microbiome Restoration Centre’s ‘Certified Healthy Gut Practitioner’ status under the tuition of Dr Jason Hawrelak.

Rebecca applies a gut-centric approach to her practice, echoing the notion that “All disease begins in the gut” (Hippocrates).

A member of the Australian Natural Therapists Association, Rebecca is excited to share her professional expertise and first-hand knowledge with others who are experiencing gastrointestinal and digestive disorders.
