The Journey
Friend, It’s impossible to share my Journey in a few words! Instead, I’ll tell you a bit about Myself and how I can help You on Your Health Journey.
Hi there! I’m Alma Ronquillo, I live in sunny Southern California. You’ll often find me dancing in the kitchen with my favorite people-my family. Being in nature is my happy place. And, I love Jesus. My passion for a well-nourished life always includes God taking center stage.
As a Christian Holistic Gut Health Coach, a Natural Holistic Approach to Health and Wellness is my Jam!
I believe the reason I've embraced this lifestyle for the past 20 years is three-fold and is the basis for how I help you.
One, the introvert in me refuses to pursue life at the surface level. Instead, I revel in deep conversation and getting to the root of all issues.
This is how I help you. By a process of listening to your story and Integrative testing, together we peel layers to find where you can start on your health journey. We begin with simple steps to take, that align with your personal goals. (Read more to learn about my Gut Healing process with a Functional Medicine Practitioner)
Two, I grew up with a momma that believed natural remedies were the way to healing the body.
Many of the ingredients found in our food, daily products, and yes supplements are harming our bodies. I help you identify these ingredients and make it easy to find healthier solutions.
And three, in my personal health journey, I took it upon myself to seek the root of my health issues and find how I could naturally help my body heal itself. A story that requires more than a mention. Maybe a blog? or a book?
I have been in your shoes! I have personally found that the root cause of health issues is not always one trigger, but sometimes a layer of possibilities that include body, mind, and spirit. Friend, I can help by guiding you towards confidence in your health journey. (keep reading to learn my Gut Healing process)
After my 20 year career as a Homeschool Mom, the Lord led me to pursue a career as a Holistic Health Coach. Which has evolved into a Christian Holistic Gut Health Coach with a certificate in Integrative Nutrition.
I am a graduate of the Institute of Integrative Nutrition with a course in Gut Health. It's incredible to learn the science of how the body functions- and connect it back to God and His creation- this also, needs deeper looking into- um, an ebook, wink, wink? Coming soon!
Honestly Friend, it is my mission to help you connect the dots to your health journey. And help you live the abundant life promised by God.
When we begin at the root of our health, we are often led to the heart and soul that drives the decisions to nourish ourselves. And almost always this journey leads us to take a deeper look at the gut.
“All Disease Begins in The Gut.”
My Gut Healing Process
It is important to note that every individual is at a different stage in their Health. And a diagnosis of any kind must be made by a Medical Professional. A Medical Professional can run tests to help pinpoint the triggers. One food may be a trigger to one individual and not to the other. For this reason, I do not believe one diet is for all. (Ask me about Integrative Testing through a Functional Medicine Practitioner)
The Key to Gut Healing:
Results through Integrative Testing to help pinpoint possible root causes and possible triggers
Replacing possible triggers with healthier solutions
Root Out Bad, Opportunistic Bacteria/Yeast/Parasites
Rest to encourage the bodies natural healing
Repopulating the Good Gut Bacteria/Probiotics/Prebiotics/Postbiotics
Repairing the Gut Lining
Reintroducing certain foods back, in healthy moderation
Bonus- Re-Testing sometimes this is needed, detoxing of mold, heavy metals, detoxing the Liver
This process must be taken with the recommendations of a Functional Medicine Practitioner- And it takes time to let the body do what it does- heal- yet, I see my clients experience the awesomeness of results with just small changes. I love when I get to witness my clients aha! moments, when God reveals wisdom for their health journey. This helps develop a game plan. And almost always, although, there are layers to unpack. The root mishap begins and ends in the Gut. (Ask me about Integrative Testing through a Functional Medicine Practitioner)
And of course, Rejoicing Together in answered Prayer. Thanking God for His creation and design for health that produces vibrancy to Live a Well-Nourished Life. - Alma
What People Are Saying
“
When you are on the road to achieve better health and nutrition, it really is a journey. You need to have someone to go on that journey with you who is committed to walk with you every step of the way, that will help you keep going when you fall or take a few steps back, and someone that you trust to get you to your destination. Alma Ronquillo is that person.
I started my health journey with Alma in May of 2021 and I am so grateful for the help, guidance, and care she has provided. I felt heard and helped. I never felt rushed in our appointments. She answered my questions with patience and thoroughness. And if she didn’t know the answer to a question, she would do the research on my behalf or point me in the right direction to find it myself. She held me accountable and taught me how to take care of my body so that it could heal naturally. She reminded me that I am not broken. She encouraged me to wait and be patient for the healing to come. She has truly been my advocate in every way.
Her emphasis on the mind, heart, stress management, and prayer were also excellent components adding into a total picture of whole health and wellness. The body, mind, and heart are one, and Alma sees that. She has walked with me through some deep valleys and helped me get to the other side.”

Dear Alma,
Thank you for the time and dedication you gave me by teaching me how to live a more holistic lifestyle.
Your help allowed me to treat the physical issues I had. Conventional medicine only addresses the obvious based on limited testing. However, with your guidance, I found the proper test needed to manage my problem. I am grateful for your guidance through the four recommended phases to clean my system. I wanted to share my success with factual evidence. I have included a photo taken in 2020 showing my immune reaction to a mosquito bite. You see in the picture how my immune system was out of control. I included a second photo of a mosquito bite this summer, 2022, and I am happy to report that my body's response shows healing.
Thank you again for your professional and spiritual help
