Modulate and nourish the microbiome

Response when symptoms shift
*Self-reported by Systema clients (n=10 before, n=11 after, avg. 13.4 months, P < 0.05). Not a clinical trial. Individual results may vary and depend on effort, consistency, medical supervision, and individual health factors.
Working with Systema Health completely transformed my chronic illnesses and saved me from a life of pain and sickness. Despite trying many different diets, medications, and lifestyle protocols I was still experiencing pain and inflammation from Crohn's disease and other inflammatory conditions. Systems-based Health Coaching changed my perspective on chronic illness and opened my eyes to new possibilities. Utilizing neuroplasticity and systems science I have achieved full remission of Crohn's disease and found more energy and strength than I thought possible. Through this program I have gone from surviving in my daily life to thriving, bursting with energy, and experiencing true joy. I am free from the cycle of sickness and finally able to pursue my dream life.

Common questions
If yours isn't here, you can ask on the call — no commitment.
Is Systema medical advice? Will my GI approve?
No, Systema is not medical advice. The program runs alongside your physician's care — we don't prescribe, diagnose, or change medications. Personally coaching with Andrew never replaces regular visits with your physician. Many clients tell their GI they're working with Systema; the goal is for the data and frameworks (especially the Remission Master Plan) to make those appointments more productive. Individual results may vary.
How is this different from what my GI already does?
Your GI manages the medical side — medication, scopes, labs, infusions. Systema manages the day-to-day system: the 3-step protocol (Stop · Modulate & Nourish · Repair), the Adaptive Dietary Framework, and the lifestyle/mindset work. The two roles complement each other; they don't overlap.
What if I'm on biologics or other prescription medications?
Most Systema clients are on biologics, immunomodulators, or other prescription regimens. We coach around your medication schedule, not against it. Never make changes to your health protocol without your physician's explicit consultation.
How long until I see results?
Client-reported calprotectin data shows an average reduction from 1,589 µg/g to 198 µg/g over an average of 13.4 months. Most clients start seeing meaningful symptom shifts in the first 60–90 days. The program runs for one full year because IBD is a system, not a quick fix. Individual results may vary and depend on effort, consistency, medical supervision, and individual health factors.
What's the time commitment?
Weekly 1-on-1 coaching calls plus group sessions, access to the 5-part curriculum at your pace, and ongoing community + Slack support. The Remission Master Plan keeps the work focused so you're not drowning in protocols.
What if it doesn't work for me?
We screen for fit before you ever invest. The free 1-on-1 admissions call is where we figure out together whether the 3-step protocol is the right fit for your specific situation. If we don't think Systema can help, we'll tell you on the call. Individual results may vary and depend on effort, consistency, medical supervision, and individual health factors.
