ARE YOU A HEALTH EXPLORER?
Through years of experience, we have come to understand important things about you.
- You feel there should be a real solution to your health situation, not just a “treatment.”
- You want truly integrative care. You want to understand what’s happening with your body, why it’s happening, and how to break free from the cycle.
- You take ownership of your health and are ready to do what it takes to reclaim your well-being.
- When you heard the medical plan, your inner rebel came out. It was a wake-up call. You’re done settling. You know it’s time to take control of your health.
- You’re not giving up—you’re fighting for your health and your future.
- You don’t know where else to turn. The disappointment of your doctor not having a complete solution left you feeling uncertain.
- You don’t want to face this journey alone. You’ve done your research, tried different approaches, but the overwhelming complexity has you feeling stuck.
About the Founder
Michelle leads
health explorers
on their
holistic journey
to wellness!
Welcome! Michelle Gerencser is the founder of NutritionGuide. She has worked with thousands of individuals with chronic health issues ranging from digestion to diabetes, blood pressure to mental health, autoimmunity to cancer, hormone imbalances and prostate issues, allergies, sleep, and energy, over 23 years in 22 countries. Michelle has guided clients through every step of their health journeys, ensuring they never have to face it alone. Through this support, they have discovered self-appreciation, dynamic vitality, and lasting well-being.
Over time, that same commitment led Michelle to build a small team around her process. For clients working through chronic or foundational health issues, she still builds every personal Landscape Map herself. From there, clients choose how they continue: working: with Michelle directly, or with Brooke, who collaborates closely with her and shares the same approach every step of the way. For clients in active cancer treatment, Patrice conducts her own initial analysis and walks with them through every round of treatment.

I especially appreciate that she works collaboratively both with me and my patients. In a word, she's brilliant, insightful and deeply compassionate.

“After being diagnosed with an aggressive appendix cancer seven years ago, I knew I needed expert guidance. Michelle has been an invaluable part of my journey and is one of the reasons I am thriving today. Her approach helped me support my treatment, strengthen my overall health, and navigate cancer with confidence.
What sets Michelle apart is her compassion and practicality. She meets you where you are, helps simplify overwhelming decisions, and focuses on sustainable changes rather than restrictive rules. Her balanced approach allowed me to enjoy life while still prioritizing my health.
Michelle's expertise, encouragement, and genuine care have made a lasting impact on both my physical and mental well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking knowledgeable, compassionate nutrition support during a cancer journey.”
— Cancer Explorer
"I can not thank Michelle Gerencser enough for literally drawing me a picture of what is going on in my gut, something which noone has been able to do. I've seen gastrointestinal Dr's, nutritionists, naturopaths, the latter could never give me a full picture, maybe a piece of the puzzle and for sure a symptom not the root cause. Michelle was able to identify the root cause of what was causing upset with my gut and gave me a simple protocol based on the season of life I am in, truly tailoring what I need verses a generic recommendation that may or may not work for everyone. She was able to reverse many of the symptoms I was going through, along with taking time out of her day to answer 101 questions. This whole experience has been breath of fresh air for me."
