Filling in the Gaps ™:
Gut & Metabolic Health
A practical, clinical approach to gut health, built for prescribing clinicians treating women in perimenopause and beyond
I NEED THIS!
Are you a provider frustrated by how limited the options feel for your perimenopausal patients?
You’ve read the studies. You’ve tried the protocols. You’re running the labs, adjusting HRT & fine-tuning nutrients.
But when another 30-60 year-old woman sits across from you exhausted, gaining weight, crying over anxiety and bloating she can’t explain—you find yourself saying the same things:
“Your labs are normal.”
“This is just part of aging.”
“I think you’re just stressed”
SAVE MY SEAT“We can try birth control or an antidepressant.”
And every time, it feels a little worse. Because deep down, you know:
➤ You’re not addressing underlying drivers.
➤ Your patient deserves more than a band-aid.
➤ Even if you do run a stool test, you’re handed a report and a copy-paste protocol… with no real strategy for what to do next.
➤ You’re not burnt out because you don’t care.
➤ You’re burnt out because the system gave you labs, but not the tools to interpret them or the training to treat what they reveal.
That’s where this next-level
course comes in.
Filling in the Gaps: Gut & Metabolic Health in Peri/Menopause is designed to equip you with the tools to uncover what conventional care often misses:
SIBO, SIFO, microbial imbalance, SCFA depletion, poor bile flow, gut-brain dysfunction, and more.
This isn’t a general gut & hormone course.
It’s the clinical follow-up you didn’t know you needed, focusing on the gut-based drivers that stall hormone progress and sabotage metabolic health in perimenopausal & menopausal women.
This Course is For Clinicians Who Want to:
➤ Understand how to approach gut health through a practical, functional lens—without falling into extreme or supplement-heavy protocols
➤ Feel more confident managing midlife symptoms like bloating, constipation, fatigue, mood swings, and histamine reactions that don’t resolve with HRT alone
➤ Know when and how to use functional stool testing—especially the Gut Zoomer—and how to interpret microbial diversity, SCFAs, pathogens, and immune markers with clarity
➤ Improve outcomes without burning out your patients or your visit time—by using treatment timelines and layering gut repair with hormone and metabolic care
➤ Finally connect the dots between chronic GI dysfunction, hormone imbalances, thyroid shifts, insulin resistance, and the downstream effects of stress physiology in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women
What Will I Learn?
Module 1: GI Dysfunction in Midlife: Clinical Drivers & Functional Testing
Module 2: Gut Zoomer Deep Dive: How to Read It, What to Do Next
Module 3: Treatment Strategy: Layering Gut Repair Without Overwhelm
Module 4: Case Integration & Treatment Strategy in Action
Ideal for:
✔ Clinicians like you—nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), MDs/DOs, RNs, and other healthcare providers in primary care, women’s health, hormone clinics, in-patient acute care, and other outpatient specialty settings.
✔ Clinicians who feel limited by conventional tools and want deeper strategies for supporting women in midlife
✔ Providers looking to better understand a functional medicine approach to hormones, HRT, and the root causes behind fatigue, mood shifts, weight gain, and cycle irregularities
✔ Anyone ready to bridge the gap between evidence-based medicine and personalized care
✔ Functional medicine-curious providers who want a clinical, non-woo approach grounded in real patient outcomes
Who You’re Learning From:
Stacy Marie Ronquillo MSN, APRN, FNP-BC, AGACNP-BC, IFMCP, ABAAHP
Hi, I’m Stacy Marie Ronquillo—double board-certified Family & Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, certified by The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), former ER lifer turned functional medicine provider, and founder of Remedy Functional Medicine Clinic based in Portland, Oregon.
After nearly two decades in conventional medicine, I saw firsthand how often midlife women were dismissed, misdiagnosed, or put on medications that didn’t truly address their symptoms. I knew there had to be a better way.
Through my functional medicine practice, I help women navigate perimenopause and menopause by looking at the full picture—hormones, gut health, metabolism, and stress—all connected.
But more than that, I created this course to clear up the confusion surrounding functional medicine. It’s not just about supplements. It’s not only for the wealthy. And it doesn’t mean throwing out everything you learned in your conventional medicine training.
This course is for providers like you—curious, grounded in science, and tired of saying “everything looks fine” when you know it isn’t.
I’ll show you how functional medicine can be practical, accessible, and clinically impactful—without the overwhelm.
