Carley Smith, AKA Fairy Gutmother® is adamant about promoting the gut health lifestyle. More than a diet, it is rather a combination of food and environment that play a role in the health of the microbiome.

A Nutritional Therapist, Certified GAPS Practitioner, and Registered Yoga Teacher, Carley became interested in health and nutrition after being diagnosed with Lyme disease. She began using food as medicine, emphasizing gut digestive health. Becoming so empowered in the progress of healing solely based on diet, lifestyle changes, and gut health, she started her business, Fairy Gutmother®. In so doing, she could spread awareness around nutrition and help others.
