Online Functional Nutrition Coach for Gut Health | Well Humans

Feb 4, 2026

Working with a functional nutrition coach online is a powerful way to address digestive issues and restore balance from anywhere. As a root cause health coach, my role at Well Humans is to look beyond symptoms like bloating, constipation, reflux, or fatigue and identify what’s actually driving them. Virtual care allows us to combine personalized coaching, education, and functional testing without sacrificing depth or connection. This approach makes high-quality gut health support accessible, flexible, and tailored to your real life.

A core focus of our work is nutrition for gut health.

Your gut impacts nearly every system in your body, including immunity, mood, hormones, and energy. Through online sessions, we explore how food, stress, sleep, and lifestyle are affecting your digestion and overall health. Rather than offering generic diet advice, functional nutrition coaching helps you understand which foods support healing, which may be contributing to inflammation, and how to nourish your gut in a way that feels sustainable and supportive—not restrictive.

When you work with a functional diagnostic nutrition coach, online care becomes even more effective.

Functional lab testing can be completed from home and provides deep insight into gut function, nutrient absorption, microbiome balance, and other root causes of chronic symptoms. These results guide a personalized plan designed specifically for your body. This data-driven approach removes the guesswork and allows us to focus on targeted strategies that support gut repair, balance, and long-term resilience.

Functional nutrition coaching online is not about quick fixes—it’s about education, empowerment, and lasting change.

At Well Humans, you receive ongoing guidance, accountability, and compassionate support as you implement nutrition and lifestyle shifts that improve gut health and overall well-being. By combining root-cause testing with personalized coaching, you gain clarity, confidence, and the tools needed to heal your gut and feel better in your body—no matter where you’re located.

Fix Your Gut and Feel Your Best

Hello and Welcome! My name is Carla Alpert, and I’m a Board Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach and Diagnostic Practitioner, focusing on the gut and how it affects your overall health. Think of me as a health detective and wellness coach working in partnership with you to restore your health. We work together to uncover the contributing factors to your chronic symptoms, to eat well, sleep well, move more and stress less.

I love the GI MAP test because it helps my clients and I discover gut dysfunction that may be contributing to daily digestive issues as well as other chronic symptoms like anxiety, fatigue and brain fog. I created this GI MAP Coaching Package to help you stop struggling with your health and get back to living your best life.

What Clients Are Saying

Carla really helped me to figure out my gut pain and issues after so many years. I finally feel like I have energy and clarity around my health! She was so easy to talk to and helped me discover problem areas that were causing me so much distress, when no other doctors could help.
VICTORIA

Well Humans changed my life. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis accompanied by chronic hives. It sprang up out of nowhere and caused bizarre “food allergies” that I’d never had before. Because of Carla’s coaching and dietary recommendations as well as GI Map testing, I can happily say that I am now symptom-free, and I have been in remission for over a year now. All of the doctors I saw told me I would have to deal with my symptoms because there was no cure, but here I am, back to living a mostly normal life. I highly recommend Carla and Well Humans for anyone looking for real answers and treatments that work.
KALYN

When working with Carla, you are in capable, compassionate, knowledgeable and caring hands. Carla truly cares about your well being and wants to help you be the healthiest that you can be. My health was truly suffering and with her guidance and suggested testing, we uncovered some issues that nobody else had uncovered, despite my going to some of the top rated medical institutions. My health and pain improved greatly due to Carla’s sleuthing…she knew where to look. Through many health challenges, I was quite emotional and Carla showed me what compassion looks like. If you want to truly improve your health, start with Well Humans.
BETH

Over years, I’ve tried various “alternative” medicine as well as conventional “western” medicine approaches. Skin ailments are hard to treat – so many aspects of a life can produce skin symptoms. I enthusiastically recommend Well Humans and Carla for a simple reason – I’ve experienced sustained, substantial improvement! I have hardly ever posted a review of anything, but writing this was an easy choice to make. I wish you all the best in your journey towards better health!
JON

I searched the U.S. to find someone who does what Carla does. Carla has used her knowledge, support and expertise to optimize my health and well-being with a blend of scientific medical tests, supplements and diet changes. I wasted a lot of time on my hunches, the internet and experiments with supplements and food and NOW i have an actual plan. Superb supportive knowledge and guidance. I highly recommend Carla. Grateful.
LISA

I never knew that I had a gluten allergy and intolerance until Carla discovered it in my blood work! I’m so grateful that she made this discovery and I have been gluten free ever since. I sleep better, don’t feel bloated and have much more energy. It was a life-changing insight.
