I'm Ready For Real Support

Hey, I'm Stephanie!

This experience is exactly why I created the Balanced Body Blueprint.

...to help other women get the answers, clarity, and real support I wish I had when I was stuck and trying to figure it all out alone.

For years, I struggled with my own health challenges and digestive troubles that left me with a run-of-the mill IBS diagnosis and a prescription for medication that made my symptoms worse.

Stephanie Mercurio, MS
Functional Nutrition Practitioner

It wasn’t until I worked with a functional practitioner that
I finally felt someone was asking the right questions...

I was still bloated, exhausted, and in pain…
and now, I was broke and frustrated too.

It took me five more years — and thousands of dollars — to piece it all together myself, figure out what was actually going on in my body, and finally feel better.


But instead of real guidance, I got a list of expensive supplements, and no real support.

To offer the support, strategy, and follow-through I wished I had when I was struggling.

Since 2016, I’ve helped hundreds of women get real answers to their symptoms and build personalized, food-first plans that actually work.

That’s why I became a functional practitioner myself - to do things differently.

Now, it's your  turn.

My 4-Phase Functional Framework

Here’s the proven process we’ll move through together inside the VIP program:

You’ve got frustrating symptoms no one’s been able to explain.



is for you if...

You’re overwhelmed, burnt out,
& tired of guessing.


You’ve been diagnosed –

You’ve tried it all –

Whether it’s gut issues, fatigue, brain fog, skin flares, mood swings, or something you can’t even name… you’re tired of feeling like a mystery  to every provider you see.

Elimination diets, TikTok protocols, cleanses, and pricey supplements…but your symptoms keep coming back.


But instead of a clear step-by-step plan, you were left with medications, confusion, or told to “come back in 6 months.


You’re ready to feel like the vibrant
& energized version of yourself again.

To investigate what’s not working and use food-first,
functional strategies to rebuild your health from the inside out.

You wish someone could finally help you understand what your body really needs.



You’re ready to go deeper –

The one who wakes up clear-headed, confident,
and no longer ruled by symptoms.


Now that you know this is for you - here’s how we make the magic happen!

Step by step, with the structure, support, and strategy you’ve been missing.

THE BALANCED
BODY BLUEPRINT

Real Women. Real Relief.

What it's actually like inside the VIP experience.

Before finding Stephanie,
I had tried every parasite cleanse, trendy detox, and supplement protocol I could get my hands on, spending thousands of dollars with little to no relief. Nothing worked - until now.

Jackie, 33,
Lifelong Constipation,
IBS, Mold

Stephanie’s VIP Program was completely different. She helped me finally understand my body and taught me how to truly heal my gut. Most of my symptoms are now gone, and I feel healthier and more energized than I ever have.

Rebecca, 30,
PMDD, IBS, Mold

I don’t say this lightly: Stephanie’s program is the single best thing I’ve ever done for my health. Nearly all my symptoms have resolved, and for the few that remain, I now have the tools and confidence to continue healing on my own. If you’re ready to truly heal, stop waiting. This program is everything you’ve been looking for.

Lauren, 28,
Endometriosis, IBS

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Steph for several years in both a fitness and nutrition capacity, but I think it’s fair to say that when you work with her, she is very tuned in to the whole body as it works together. She breaks the body down to each essential function and utilizes her strong knowledge to help guide you in the best plan – never does one size plan fit all. I urge anyone who is looking to implement changes – from gut issues the doctors don’t seem to have answers for to body maintenance goals – to let Steph join you on the journey, both as an encouraging friend and a coach that is always in your corner!

"She is a powerful, magnetic woman who helps
you gain control and step into your own power."

POWER. It’s what I think of when I think of Stephanie. She is a powerful, magnetic woman who helps you gain control and step into your own power. We first worked together in early 2018, perfecting my posing for my first bikini competition. By the summer of that year, I had rebounded hard after my show and needed help. I joined Stephanie’s fat loss challenge and it was honestly one of the best decisions of my life. She taught me how to properly nourish my body with foods I enjoyed. For once in my life, I didn’t fear carbs or other foods and I was able to LIVE while making so much progress. Her knowledge, patience, and willingness to teach can only propel her clients beyond their expectations. I have continued working 1:1 with Stephanie and she never lets me down. Her passion for nutrition and genuine care for others is unmatched.

Having worked with Steph both on body recomposition and OCB Bikini contest prep, I can say without a doubt she is the whole package. Stephanie brings a combination of nutrition, exercise programming, and lifestyle consideration that allows her to adjust her programming to fit any number of scenarios. From dieting while traveling, to accounting for female hormonal cycle changes she makes sure you are balanced both emotionally and physically while also achieving your nutrition and fitness goals. I continue to come back year after year because I know her methods are effective and 100% workable with my insanely busy schedule. And I consistently recommend her to my friends and acquaintances whenever they are looking for coaching!

I thought I could manage my weight loss journey on my own. I track my food, eat healthy and yet the scale would not budge. I became discouraged and ultimately quit trying. Then, when I was diagnosed with “pre-diabetes”, “pre-high cholesterol” and “pre-high blood pressure”, I knew I needed help.
Steph has been AMAZING! She is incredibly knowledgeable in the science of nutrition. So much so that, after only a few months, my biomarkers have significantly improved! Steph took the time to know me, my lifestyle, my food likes/dislikes and then tailored my program to something reasonable for my work-life demands. She took the time to explain the how’s and the why’s of what wasn’t working before and what my current journey will look like. She has been an incredible cheerleader and coach, particularly when I get discouraged. Although Steph provides a meal plan to follow, she is also constantly teaching me know to integrate new foods into my plan all while staying on track which I feel is a very realistic approach. I have loved my experience with Steph and I am so appreciative of her helping me get my health back on track!

I have been a client of Stephanie’s since October 2021. When I first came to her, I was lost. I had no idea what I was doing in terms of nutrition and exercise. I also was struggling with depression, anxiety, and finding different ways to cope with everyday stressors in life. Over these last 10 months of working with her, have I not only lost weight and gained muscle, but I gained the knowledge to steer my life in the right direction. Stephanie has taught me how to be consistent, stay disciplined, and that whatever life throws at me is nothing that I would not be able to handle. She has taught me how to manage my stress, do things for ME, and how to truly know what serves a purpose in my life or not. I not only look at her as my coach, but also a friend that I can confide in when I am at my darkest days. She is one of a kind and I am grateful that I invested my time and self with her. She has changed my life forever.

This isn’t a course you binge and forget about - it’s a 6-month, high-touch partnership designed to create real change. And that kind of support only works when we’re truly aligned.

  • To make sure we’re a good match in energy, expectations, and communication

Take the First Step

LET'S BE HONEST: The system is failing women with symptoms like ours... 


My GI doctor slapped a benign IBS label on it and gave me a prescription that made everything worse.


When I was diagnosed with SIBO, I had no support. I felt like I was dying - like I had some strange, foreign disease.

- to give women the answers, strategy, and deep support I wished I had, but now know is essential to helping them step back into their power in a world that needs them thriving - not just surviving.

The practitioner who later diagnosed me with SIBO understood the condition — but couldn’t walk me through the healing process.

I was left to search the internet, trial random protocols, and spend thousands trying to fix my body alone.


This program exists because that experience completely changed my life — and showed me how many others are quietly suffering with the same symptoms, without support.

The Balanced Body Blueprint isn’t another quick fix.
It’s the last program you’ll ever need.

So I created this program. 

THE BALANCED BODY BLUEPRINT

That's why I created

LET'S BE HONEST:
The system is failing women with symptoms like ours... 


What if things could actually start getting better sooner than you thought?

Most of my clients start noticing symptom improvements within the first 2-4 weeks. It doesn’t have to take long to feel better — you just have to start.


WHAT IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO ANOTHER YEAR FEELING LIKE THIS?

Still Have Questions?

01

What are your qualifications?

I'm so glad you asked. I hold a Master’s degree in Human Nutrition from the University of Bridgeport and have been coaching women in nutrition since 2016.

I am currently pursuing board certification to practice medical nutrition therapy as a Certified Nutrition Specialist® (CNS) - an advanced clinical nutrition credential held by professionals with a Master’s or Doctoral degree in nutrition or a related field.

I have passed my board exam, and am in the final stages of completing my clinical supervised mentorship with the Nutrition and Herbal Collective. I will also be pursuing Florida licensure upon completion of these hours. 

CNS practitioners must complete:

  • Rigorous graduate-level coursework in clinical nutrition
  • 1,000+ hours of supervised clinical experience
  • A nationally accredited board exam
  • Ongoing continuing education to stay up to date with evolving science

CNS professionals are trained to use evidence-based, personalized nutrition strategies to help clients manage complex health conditions and optimize function, often bridging the gap between conventional care and root-cause solutions.

I’m trained in human biochemistry functional lab interpretation, functional nutrition medicine strategies, but more importantly, I’ve lived this! You get science, strategy, and full-spectrum support from someone who has personally  been where you are right now.

02

What if I’ve already worked with a functional practitioner or done labs?

You’re not alone - many of my VIP clients came to me after working with other providers and still felt lost, unsupported, or stuck.

In most cases, it’s not because those practitioners didn’t care. It’s that they simply didn’t have the time, capacity, or resources to fully investigate each case or walk with their clients through every stage of healing.

Too often, clients are handed a one-size-fits-all protocol, a hefty supplement stack, and little to no follow-up. There’s no restoration phase. No long-term plan. And no education on how to keep going once the protocol ends.

That’s the difference.

In this program, we don’t just treat symptoms — we rebuild your body’s resilience.
You’ll get the investigation, strategy, and step-by-step support other providers often don’t have the capacity to offer.

And most importantly? You’ll learn how your body works, so you can keep making progress long after the program ends.

03

What kind of results can I expect — and how fast?

Most of my clients start noticing improvements in symptoms like bloating, fatigue, and mood within the first month, many within just 2–4 weeks - once they begin consistently implementing their personalized recommendations.

This doesn’t mean the root issue is fully resolved in that time.
But it does mean you’ll likely feel relief early on,  and that’s a sign things are starting to shift in the right direction.

It’s important to know: everyone’s path looks a little different.
Some clients come in with a diagnosis. Others don’t, and we have uncover what’s really going on as we move through the program together.

Support may shift as we investigate and respond to how your body reacts. That’s the beauty of this work — we adjust in real time to keep things working for you.

04

Do you help with more than gut issues?

Yes! We address the whole picture, not just isolated symptoms.

Digestive health is often a huge part of that picture, even if you don’t think you have gut issues. Just because you’re not experiencing bloating, stomach pain, or poop problems doesn’t mean your gut is healthy.

I’ve worked with clients who had no “classic” digestive symptoms but were dealing with things like:

  • Skin issues
  • Hair loss
  • Insomnia and sleeping problems
  • Period problems and hormone chaos
  • Histamine intolerance
  • POTS, thyroid dysfunction, autoimmunity
  • Allergies, sinus issues, or chronic stress

In many cases, the gut was the missing link.

Most of the women I work with aren’t dealing with just one thing - they’re juggling mystery symptoms that no one has fully connected.

In this program, we look at what’s going on under the surface and use gut health as the foundation to support everything else.


05

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes — you can use Affirm, Klarna, or Afterpay to break your investment into monthly payments that fit your budget.

I don’t offer internal payment plans at this time, but these third-party options give you flexibility without the wait.

I also only accept 2 new VIP clients per month so you receive the personalized, high-touch support you deserve.

06

What does the time committment look like? I am super busy.

This program is designed to fit real life, not take it over.

My job is to help you build a personalized plan that honors your career, family, and other responsibilities without adding more stress. I don’t believe in the all-or-nothing plans you see from influencers or practitioners who expect you to overhaul your entire life overnight.

That said,  this program does require your participation.

Here’s what the time commitment looks like:
  • Weekly check-ins are due Mondays by 3PM EST. These are asynchronous (not live), and I respond by Monday night or Tuesday. I ask that you follow up within 24 hours, The more thorough your updates, the more value I can deliver in return.
  • One live 60-minute Zoom call per month to go deeper, review lab results, make adjustments, and check progress.
  • Ongoing support via Voxer between check-ins for tweaks, questions, and real-time guidance.

You’ll also need to make time to:
  • Grocery shop & meal prep
  • Stay consistent with supplements
  • Track your progress weekly

The beginning of the program - during the Integration, Healing & Refinement phases - will require a little more effort as we lay the groundwork. But as you start feeling better, your plan becomes simpler and more sustainable.

This isn’t a quick fix.
It’s a framework for lasting change - and a way to care for your body for life.

07

Do I have to take a bunch of supplements?”

Supplements may be part of your protocol, but I always take a food-first approach.

We only use supplementation when it’s necessary to deliver a therapeutic dose of a nutrient or herbal compound that’s difficult to achieve through food alone. This is especially true in cases like bacterial overgrowth, H. pylori, or mold exposure, where targeted support can be essential in the early phases.

That said, my goal is to keep your supplement load as light as possible while still getting results. You'll never be handed a $500 stack and told “good luck.”

Toward the end of the program, your supplement plan will be scaled back to focus on long-term, sustainable support.

Bonus: You’ll also get 20% off all practitioner-grade supplements through my Fullscript dispensary, which helps keep things accessible and affordable.


Ready to stop guessing?

This application is for women who are ready to invest in high-level support. Once you submit your responses, you’ll be directed to book a 20-minute Application Call, where we’ll go over your goals, symptoms, and any final questions,  and, if it's aligned, get you enrolled.
