Why the Gut Connection®?
Don't Miss Out On Good HealthAfter living with pain and over-medication for over a decade, I learned you have to stop treating symptoms and discover the CAUSE and correct it – giving real resolution! I did it for myself and so have thousands of other. And you can too.
Gut Connectors® have improved their health, their activity, their relationships, and their lives by making simple changes in the balance of their gut. But, why does the gut play such a big role in our health? Read on….
Why The Gut?
The “Gut” plays 3 major roles in your health- FOOD PROCESSOR – The digestive system is responsible for the breakdown and absorption of the foods we eat into the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients we need to run our bodies.
- IMMUNE SYSTEM– Some 80% of our immune system is located within the digestive system. A strong immune system requires a balanced digestive system.
- SECOND BRAIN – The neuro-chemicals that make our nervous system work are produced in the brain AND the gut. In fact, for some of these important chemicals, the gut makes even more than the brain and plays a big role in your moods and the nerve regulation of your body.
My Gut Connection Journey
"I Dealt With Chronic Disease Too Long..."
My knee swelled to three times it’s normal size, which meant I couldn’t play baseball anymore.
At 13, this was devastating.
Doctors, not knowing what else to do, put me on anti-inflammatory medications.
Pharmaceuticals helped the swelling, but soon I had a raft of problems instead of one: Abdominal cramps, intestinal bleeding, fevers, anemia, and fatigue.
New regimens replaced old as a parade of doctors treated my symptoms, never addressing the root cause.
Despite the pain, I moved on, graduated, and entered corporate America.
Treatments aside, my symptoms exploded from background pain to full-blown nightmare with a perforated bowel.
That’s when my life changed course: 10 years after doctors first started treating my symptoms without ever diagnosing the causes.
I left my job to become a doctor and solve my own problem. I didn’t know it would lead me to help thousands of others with similar stories.
And, now, with The Gut Connection book and Courses we would like help you overcome your chronic health issue as well!
Turns out, Hippocrates, the Father of medicine, was right…. “All disease begins in the gut.”
Let’s get yours balanced!

Susan Bucci, CCP, CECP
Susan was drawn to pursue a path of healing after an earlier career as a court stenographer and legal assistant. She began to study nursing, but then made the difficult decision to leave that field because of her increasing belief in the benefits of alternative and natural forms of healthcare. Dr. Springer trained her in his individualized approach to wellness, and she now plays an integral role in his practice by applying the Food Response Desensitization protocol to eliminate patients’ food allergies. As a Certified Lifestyle and Energy Coach Practitioner (CCP) (CECP), Susan derives great joy in sharing Dr. Springer’s protocols and, equally important, using her own acquired tools to improve an individual’s health dynamic.
