Why We Begin With the Gut & Brain

Before we ask you to go deeper, we want to understand what your body is telling us.

Woman in nature

RECLAIM begins with understanding you.

RECLAIM is not simply six days in Costa Rica.

It is a 12-week journey of preparation, immersion and integration — and part of that preparation begins with understanding you.

Every woman joining RECLAIM receives a comprehensive Gut & Brain Test before arriving in Costa Rica.

Your body is part of the conversation.

The gut and brain communicate constantly through the nervous system, immune system, hormones, microbial metabolites and the vagus nerve. Together, these connections are often described as the gut–brain axis.

Research increasingly explores the relationship between the gut microbiome and mood, stress response, cognition and emotional wellbeing.

Look at the whole person, not isolated experiences.

Persistent fatigue, brain fog, disrupted sleep, digestive difficulties, heightened stress or changes in mood can each be experienced in different ways.

Rather than looking at each experience in isolation, the Gut & Brain Test gives us another way to understand the wider picture.

“The body is part of the journey.”

Why do we test before RECLAIM?

Because transformation shouldn't begin with guesswork.

The Gut & Brain Test gives the Revela team information that can help build a clearer picture of your individual physiology before you arrive.

Rather than assuming every woman needs the same preparation, we begin with greater insight into you.

“Transformation shouldn't begin with guesswork.”

Your results become part of the wider conversation.

Your results become part of your wider preparation conversation, alongside your history, lifestyle, emotional wellbeing and personal intentions for the RECLAIM journey.

It means that when you arrive in Costa Rica, we already know you better.

The Gut & Brain Test is completed during preparation before travel and is included as part of your RECLAIM journey.

The test gives another window through which to listen, understand and prepare.

Woman preparing for her journey

RECLAIM is about self-mastery.

Self-mastery isn't only about changing how you think.

It includes becoming more aware of your relationship with your body, brain, nervous system, emotions, environment and lived experience.

The Gut & Brain Test gives you and the Revela team another window through which to listen.
