Hi, I'm Vaughan,

Certified

health and

coach

Something isn't right — and
you can't quite put your finger
on it. Your gut and your breath
are likely both involved. I teach

you the science behind both,

and what to actually
do about it.

Dr Ben Sinclair MD calls Vaughan
"a leading gut health expert"

Your gut health and your breathing are 2 of the most powerful and most underestimated tools available to you.

Both are backed by Science. Both are teachable.

GUT HEALTH

Your gut microbiome is running more of your health than you think

Most people think gut health is a digestion problem. Science now says its a whole-body problem.

Your gut microbiome is running your mood, your memory, your mental health, your metabolism, your immune system and even your athletic performance. Even if you think your gut is fine —
it warrants a second look.

I came to this through the least glamorous entry point imaginable — haemorrhoids. What I discovered was that constipation is the little-understood condition underlying so many gut health issues.

Medical professionals will tell you it's normal to go to the toilet 3 times a day or once every 3 days - I disagree.

“Your Human DNA is fixed. Your Gut Microbiome isn't.
That is the opportunity”

what gutwise covers:

  • The gut conditions most people suffer in silence — constipation, haemorrhoids, bloating, IBS - finally understood & addressed

  • Why your gut microbiome is running your mood and mental health, your energy, your immunity — and how to change it

  • The Food and Fibre habits that actually move the needle - without overhauling your life

  • Why stress, anxiety and poor sleep are often gut problems in disguise

  • The breathing secret that unlocks gut motility

BREATHWORK

You do it 20,000 times a day - are you doing it right?

Most people are not. The difference is measurable.

Controlled breathing sends a direct signal up your vagus nerve to your brain: I am calm. I am focused. Your brain believes it — even when your thoughts are still spinning.

 

Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, poor sleep, hot flushes, or simply running on empty — breathwork is a physiological tool that most people have never been taught to use.

Breathing is the remote control of the nervous system

What changes when you breathe correctly:

  • Stress, overwhelm and anxiety - regulated through breath, not willpower

  • Low mood, depression and the fatigue and broken sleep that follows - addressed at the source

  • Proven to outperform mindfulness for mood and stress — Stanford, 2023 Sleep, focus and blood pressure — real outcomes in less than 4 minutes a day

  • The one tool you already carry — that nobody ever taught you how to use

We spend years at school learning algebra and trigonometry and even the recorder, but nobody ever sat us down and said: here’s how to breathe" — Author

It all started with hemorrhoids (I know - not the cool, super sexy hero introduction I'd hoped for, but there you go).

I spent years going from doctor to doctor (injections, procedures, specialists) but never found a lasting solution. That frustration led me to research gut health properly and eventually write a book Gutwise.

What I discovered along the way changed my understanding of health entirely :

  • Constipation is the little-understood condition underlying so many gut health issues.

  • Your gut microbiome is running far more than your digestion. It is running your mood, your memory, your mental health, your metabolism, your immune system and even your athletic - performance.

  • Finally, somewhere in the research, I discovered that breathwork was the missing piece. Your diaphragm massages your gut, stimulates your vagus nerve, and activates rest and digest — all at once.

  • The one tool you already carry — that nobody ever taught you how to use

I now teach both, gut health and breathwork - because fixing one without the other is only half the answer.
