Kinga Portik-Gumbs

About Kinga

Hello! My name is Kinga Portik-Gumbs, and I am a NYC based dietitian, specializing in IBS, SIBO, and GERD. My passion for helping people with their gut problems stems from a history of personal struggles, and from meeting with those who have been battling GI problems for years. I am also intrigued by how much our brain health and gut health are connected, and I truly believe healing or at least improving one will improve the other.

Approach to care

You're not just a list of symptoms — your story matters. Taking the time to understand where your gut health struggles began and what healing truly means to you are the building blocks of your healing journey. Together, we'll uncover the root causes of your discomfort, so you can stop guessing and start living. My mission is to guide you with the tools, clarity, and support you need to confidently understand your symptoms, find relieve and enjoyment in the foods you eat. Let’s move you from food anxiety to food freedom, and create lasting gut health, one step at a time.

Your first session with Kinga

Our first session will mostly be a "get to know you" session. To best serve You, I need to get to know You! We will explore your "why", your journey so far, what you diets and approaches you tried before, what worked and what didn't. The more I know about you, your history and your future goals the better I can help you. We are putting down fundamentals before we are building the house.
