About Gut Heal

Gut Heal is my passion project to provide insightful information about food intolerances. And, how to discover your own personalized healing diet. I have these goals:

Advocate for The Carroll Food Intolerance Method®.
Share my favorite experts who heal with food and exercise.
Support Naturopathic Medicine Institute as a public member volunteer.
Change the FDA ruling, to allow naturopathic doctors (NDs) to advertise The Carroll Food Intolerance Method.
Support freedom of speech everywhere. Our best doctors should not be silenced.

I share a message of hope – healing is possible. First, each person is unique. There is no one perfect solution or diet. Start by working with a Carroll Method ND, identify your food intolerances, and adopt the recommended lifestyle changes. In addition, follow the blood type diet. This is the formula for gut healing, true health, and vitality.

About Me

I’m Diane Murray from Montpelier, Virginia. I graduated from Virginia Tech in 1983 with a civil engineering degree. After a 33-year management career with CSXT, I’m enjoying retirement.

For fifty years I experienced symptoms from food intolerances and too many foods that don’t work for my blood type. I was in the mud. My grandmother’s name is Lotus. I honor her and my transformation with the logo No Mud, No Lotus.

In fact, I’ve never dieted. But now that I know the foods I can’t digest well, it is easy to eliminate them from my diet. I found vitality by eating and exercising right for my body. I also follow my ND’s lifestyle advice for real health.

I get annual physical exams. My MD recommends her patients with allergy and stomach issues to see local naturopath who practices the Carroll Method. Most importantly, I see my naturopathic doctor, a Vitalist. They have the best advice for health.

I’m giving back by sharing my story, a decade’s worth of experience and research.

Dedicated to My Mom

I dedicate this web to my mom, Marie Chenault, who dedicated her life to nursing. She earned her registered nurse degree from the C&O Nursing School and worked at the C&O Hospital for over 40 years.

She had many known food allergies: chicken, fish, shellfish, and even more unknown food intolerances. After bathroom trips, I recall her saying “I don’t know what is wrong with me.” She searched for answers to her health issues but she never found real solutions. Her love for healing inspires me to share my story.

Many Thanks

I’m so thankful to my husband, Allen Murray. We’ve been married since 1985 and have one son Henry. Allen supported me through all of these changes, readily adapting meals to these dietary restrictions. We are all healthier.

I appreciate all my friends and family who share their stories, adapt their meals, and indulge me in sharing mine.

Namaste,

Diane
