In early 2009, two chronically sick engineers and best friends made a life-changing decision…

Fueled by anger, anxiety, and pain, Steven and Jordan decided they wouldn’t quit until they fixed their digestive health.  They also felt a burning passion that others like us should have a place to learn about what works.

Little did they know, they’d each end up spending $100,000 as they searched for answers. They started with the specific carbohydrate diet, and supplements… eventually studying Functional Medicine and becoming Kalish Trained Practitioners.

They’d read research papers into the wee hours of the morning, test every healing substance out there, did spiritual work, deeply emotional work… and more.

And that’s not including all the underground biohacking devices, procedures, shamanic meetings, 100’s of supplements, snake oil, and 100’s of hours of therapy.

This is their story and unique gift.  

Their journey has spanned: gastroenterologists, neurologists, acupuncturists, nutritionists chiropractors, psychiatrists, psychologists, shamans, priests, monks, sexological bodywork, astrologists, Olympic athletes, herbalists, Chinese medicine, and even ordinary people who seem to have it figured out.  Almost everything you can think of…

At age 13, Steven Wright ordered his first supplements and started his first diet, but by the ripe old age of 23,  he was crying daily in bloating pain and gas.  The panic attacks, depression, extra weight, acne, and constipation were threatening his “successful” life as a consultant at one of the biggest consulting firms in the world.  He knew something had to change with his career at risk and his desire to be in partnership precariously in the balance.  His number one priority became health.   Now, Steven is looking and feeling his best while living the life he has always wanted.   

 

After 6 years of declining health, western medicine told Jordan Reasoner his body was ravished by Celiac Disease. He was severely malnourished, could hardly get out of bed, and suffered from chronic diarrhea over 10 times a day.  At the lowest point, he knew he wouldn’t live much longer like that (widowing his wife and kids). Now, he is a completely new man, training with retired special forces, climbing mountains in the backcountry of Montana, and being an amazing father to his kids.

Steven and Jordan met in Flint, Michigan in 2003 at Kettering University as freshmen studying engineering… but it would be another six years before the birth of SCDlifestyle.com, which has now become The Healthy Gut Company.

In December of 2019, Jordan made a hard decision but one that he knew he had to make.  He felt a creative calling and decided that he felt his work at Healthy Gut was complete.
In January of 2020, Steven bought out his long-time partner and became the sole owner of Healthy Gut. Steven and Jordan's friendship continues to this day.  

But Steven missed having a business partner.  In June of 2020, Steven proposed to Shay and asked her to be his wife...and business partner.  She said yes to both.    

And fortunately for us, Jordan rejoined the team in 2022 to help direct and scale Healthy Gut Marketing and Revenue.
