A Research-Driven Approach to Gut Health

Guided by science, refined through years of clinical experience.

 

I’m Karly Raven — a Naturopath, Educator, and Director of The Nourished Gut Clinic. For over a decade I’ve worked with hundreds of clients across Australia and internationally to unravel the complexity of IBS, SIBO, and microbiome-related conditions.

My passion lies in translating emerging research into practical, clinical tools — helping both clients and practitioners achieve results that last. Through education, mentorship, and ongoing research, my mission is to raise the standard of gut health care in natural medicine.
