Restore Your Gut Health—and Reignite Your Sex Life

The Surprising Connection Between Digestion and Sex

If you’ve noticed a decline in your libido, energy, or intimacy, your gut health may be playing a bigger role than you realize. At Well Humans, we help clients understand the powerful connection between digestion and sex. As your dedicated functional medicine health coach and functional practitioner, we take a root-cause approach to uncover the imbalances that may be affecting not only your digestive health, but also your hormones, mood, energy, and sexual wellness. When your gut thrives, every aspect of your health—including your relationships—can benefit.

Poor gut health may contribute to:

  • Low libido and decreased sexual desire
  • Bloating and digestive discomfort that affect body confidence
  • Fatigue that leaves little energy for intimacy
  • Hormonal imbalances that impact sexual function
  • Mood changes that interfere with emotional connection

Chronic Symptoms Can Affect More Than Your Digestion

Many people accept digestive discomfort as “normal,” never realizing that chronic symptoms such as bloating, constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux, or food sensitivities can have a ripple effect throughout the body. An unhealthy gut can influence inflammation, nutrient absorption, hormone balance, and the gut-brain connection—all of which play important roles in sexual health and overall vitality.

Addressing the root cause may help improve:

  • Digestive comfort and confidence
  • Energy and stamina
  • Hormonal balance
  • Emotional well-being and mood
  • Overall quality of life and intimate relationships

Personalized Functional Medicine Coaching for Whole-Body Wellness

At Well Humans, we know there is no one-size-fits-all solution. As your functional medicine health coach and functional practitioner, we provide concierge-level care that is tailored to your unique health story. Together, we’ll explore the factors contributing to your chronic symptoms and create a personalized wellness plan that supports both digestive health and whole-body function.

Your customized plan may include:

  • Nutrition strategies to support a healthy digestive system
  • Lifestyle coaching to improve sleep and manage stress
  • Functional wellness recommendations based on your individual needs
  • Ongoing education, accountability, and compassionate support

Feel Better, Live Better, Love Better

When you improve your gut health, you’re investing in far more than digestion. Restoring balance can help you regain energy, improve confidence, support healthy hormone function, and strengthen your overall sense of well-being. At Well Humans, we believe that better health creates the foundation for a more vibrant life—including a healthier, more fulfilling intimate life.

Fix Your Gut and Feel Your Best

carla alpert functional medicine practitioner

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.
ROB

Carla is very knowledgeable and kind. She helped me navigate a health issue with grace and the utmost care. Carla goes above and beyond with her clients and I highly recommend her. She genuinely cares!
ALLISON

I have been working with Carla for quite some time and she has helped me turn my life and health around. She is non-judgmental, and always wants the best for her clients. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a fantastic bedside manner. She has truly changed my life for the better and I will always be grateful for everything she has done.
