“I have learned so much in the GI mentorship program not only from Julie who is a wealth of information but also from the other members of my cohort.  It has been such a wonderful experience to learn from some of the best educators on gut health.  I have been able to use all the information immediately in my practice to provide even better and more effective results for my patients.”

“Joining the Rupa Health GI Mentorship has been a great investment. Since transitioning to a 100% virtual practice, it’s been a bit lonely and this mentorship has been a great way to get plugged in. I’m able to participate in weekly group sessions with case reviews, presentations, and feedback among my peers. Julie makes it so fun and engaging, and I always leave a session picking up a few pearls that I’m able to implement right away. I’d highly recommend it to any of my peers.”
