This background gives her a unique perspective, allowing her to understand the intricacies of the body's systems on a deeper level.

Healing Journeys
Seeing Jessica has been the best decision for my health. She’s super friendly and knows exactly what to do.
"Jessica's holistic approach has completely transformed my health. Her personalized care and deep knowledge of functional medicine are unmatched."
"My whole family has been seen and benefited from being seen by Jessica at Primal Wellness Clinic. After years of guessing what I needed to do to get my health back on track Jessica performed in-depth testing and combined that information with my history and overall description of my issues. She has been able to identify hormonal and gut issues that have been brushed aside for DECADES by conventional doctors. My hormones were not in balance, my gut biome was a mess and my thyroid was suffering. She has guided me along to heal these issues. My husband has seen her for gut and hormone related issues with positive results. As far as my kids, they love to see her and know that they are getting whole care! Jessica truly looks at the WHOLE person. I highly recommend her! "
"Thanks to Jessica, my sleep quality has skyrocketed. I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day."
Over the past six months, working with Jessica Gulch completely changed my health. I had been on tirzepatide for nearly two years, still struggling with weight, had brain fog, fatigue, hormonal issues, chronic pain, and infertility. Jessica told me to stop trying to get pregnant and give her six months to focus on healing first. I got off Mounjaro without gaining weight back — and while the scale didn’t move much, I dropped from a size 12/14 to a 10. My period is normal again and no longer painful. My energy is back, my mind is clear, and I genuinely feel healthier than I ever have. And when we finally decided to try, I got pregnant on the first attempt. The Oura Ring included in the program backed it all up — my numbers show the same improvements I feel. Working with Jessica wasn’t cheap, but it was absolutely worth it. It was an investment in my health that I’d make again in a heartbeat — and one I’d recommend to any friend who’s struggling and ready to actually get better.
After years of struggle and uncertainty, I found Jessica, who has played a pivotal role in completely changing my path to health. Thanks to her expertise and in-depth testing, I've been able to reverse my fatty liver disease and am finally starting to lose weight. Jessica dives deeper than any doctor I've encountered before, exploring areas that truly matter for my health. Her approach has been life-changing for me.
I have gastroparesis. It took several years to get my diagnosis. My symptoms include severe bloat, nausea, vomiting, night sweats, acid reflux, and general inflammation, just to name a few. Conventional doctors would only treat my symptoms, which would reoccur, or never go away. I was in a constant state of severe bloat and gut inflammation. Jessica and I sat down to review my test results, I received more information in 30 minutes, than I had in three years. We have a long term plan in place to address and manage the controllable issues. After one week of treatment I was less inflamed and had zero bloat. We have been able to maintain this for past 12 weeks. Not feeling bloated and inflamed is huge. We are about to sit down and develop a plan for phase two. Yes, you have a voice in your plan. All you need to do is work the plan, that you get to help develop. It’s hard but very do able. I have zero complaints and I feel much better.
