We recently had the chance to connect with Gabrielle Grandell, BSc, FMCHC, CLT and have shared our conversation below.
Gabrielle, we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
I’m being called to speak more boldly without diluting the truth to make it comfortable. Now, I feel called to fully integrate the spiritual and emotional truths with functional medicine, nutrition and gut health. I’m no longer afraid of being “too much” or “too different.” I’m here to name what isn’t working in modern healthcare, to challenge symptom-suppression culture, and to remind people that healing is sacred work. I’m being called to lead others into a new paradigm of health freedom.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Gabrielle Grandell, also known as The Gut Goddess. I am a Functional Nutritionist and Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach. I help people who have tried “everything” finally uncover the root causes behind chronic digestive issues, fatigue, mood disorders, skin concerns, and autoimmune symptoms without relying on medications as the first or only solution.
What makes my work unique is that I bridge science and spirituality. I use advanced functional testing, personalized nutrition, and root-cause analysis alongside nervous system regulation, mindset work, and a deep respect for the body’s God-given intelligence. I don’t believe healing is purely biochemical—it’s emotional, energetic, and spiritual too. Gut health is not just about digestion; it’s about reclaiming trust in your body, your intuition, and your purpose. I’m currently expanding my work through teaching, speaking, and creating spaces where people can experience true healing, not just manage symptoms.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
I believed that being sensitive, intuitive, and deeply feeling was a weakness. I learned early on to quiet parts of myself to fit into systems that didn’t know how to hold depth. Now I know those traits weren’t flaws, instead they were signals of my calling.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
When I realized my pain wasn’t random, it was initiatory. Watching loved ones struggle, navigating a healthcare system that treated symptoms instead of souls, and most recently walking alongside my mother through a colon cancer diagnosis stripped away any illusion that staying silent was serving anyone. That pain clarified my mission. It sharpened my conviction. I stopped hiding when I realized my story could help prevent others from suffering the same way, and that healing becomes exponential when it’s shared.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What do you believe is true but cannot prove?
I believe there is a divine intelligence orchestrating our lives in ways we don’t usually understand. I believe certain challenges are assigned to us as preparation, not as punishment. I believe the people who find their way to my work are not random, and that timing in healing is sacred. I believe that when someone is finally ready to heal, the right teacher, message, or doorway appears.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. When do you feel most at peace?
When I’m grounded in nature, cooking nourishing food, dancing freely, praying, writing poetry, listening to music or meditating. I feel most at peace when I’m aligned with truth and when my work, my values, and my spirit are in harmony.
