Helping you go from chronic bloating, PMS, brain fog, and fatigue to feeling like yourself again in 12 weeks.
15 years of clinical experience condensed into 12 week protocols, fully built around your data - for real, lasting results.
Most people come to us after years of being handed incomplete answers or generic treatments - but effective treatment should take weeks, not years.
See how others transformed their health in just 12 weeks:
“My bloating issues have completely resolved. I would absolutely recommend Cally. She is kind, understanding, and very knowledgeable. After our first call she recommended additional blood work and later reviewed everything together with my GI test to make sure she had a full picture of what was going on. I especially appreciated that she recommended supplements to support my overall health, not just my gut. I felt listened to, I never felt rushed, and I was very happy with the amount of check-ins and support throughout.

“Before Stem, i was bloating after almost every single meal, had brain fog, chronic stress, and low iron absorption. Now, the brain fog is completely gone, stress is much, much better, and the bloating is 80% better, if not more. I'm so grateful to Cally for treating the root cause of my issues. Cally is an amazing caring person. She truly cares about her patients and tries her absolute best to help them out. She is very supportive and she is great at what she does, absolutely the best’’.

"I felt bloated, tired all the time, constant cravings and low energy. Overwhelmed with information online, and needed someone I could trust. Changes have been slow and steady, but significant. I sleep through the night now, my cycle has become more regular, my mood is more stable which allows me to adhere to healthy habits better. I felt so supported and heard! Cally was flexible and patient, and provided me with such valuable guidance along the way”.

"I worked with Stem because i was dealing with gut issues, fatigue, brain fog. ‘I have more energy, no fatigue, better mood, and feel less sleepy. Cally is amazing and would modify the protocol according to your needs/preferences. She's very sweet and welcoming.’

The recurrent problem
Most people arrive at Stem having already done a lot — diets, supplements, doctor visits, maybe even other functional practitioners. The issue isn't the effort you put in, it's that each approach was looking at symptoms, not the underlying problem — which is why the cycle keeps repeating.
Diagnostics are so important when it comes to treatment: Bloating doesn’t always start in the gut, brain fog doesn’t always start in the brain, and PMS doesn’t always start with your hormones.
Our top priority is to help you restore your health and eliminate everything from bloating to sleep issues to mood or hormonal issues by identifying your true root cause via personalized testing, & guiding you through targeted, short term protocols.

Our Team
Lulwa Alarmali
FounderI've worked with patients around the world going through drawn out, prolonged treatments with minimal results — when their issue was actually clear and simple.
I was lucky enough to have great mentors throughout my 15 year career who taught me how to treat effectively and how to actually connect the dots. Even a functional approach can fall into treating one system at a time, when in reality, we have to assess how the entire system is functioning for effective results.
This is why I created Stem.
True, lasting healing means understanding how every system in the body is connected and how each one is contributing to what you're experiencing. That's why every one of our patients goes through a comprehensive 5-systems analysis — then we combine advanced diagnostics to get clear, personalized data with our clinical framework to find the fastest, most direct path to getting you better.
Head Dietitian, Genetic & Functional Medicine SpecialistCally Frost
Cally is a dietitian with a rare combination of training — a BSc in Genetics from Stellenbosch University and an Honours degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Cape Town. Her work sits at the intersection of both: applying genetic data and clinical nutrition to guide precise, individualized treatment.
Alongside her clinical work, she serves as a Clinical Support Specialist at a leading genetic and preventative medicine laboratory, where she trains healthcare professionals to interpret complex lab data . Her expertise in test aalysis is at the core of her effective treatment plans - She identifies what’s driving the issue and builds plans that are specific to the patient and grounded in what the data is showing.
She also receives consistent feedback from patients on how warm and supportive she is throughout their process, which helps them stay consistent and follow through with their plan.
Naturopath, Program ManagerNawar Kamona
Nawar holds an MSc in Personalised Nutrition with advanced training in functional medicine, psychoneuroimmunology, and bioregulatory medicine — fields that sit at the intersection of how the mind, nervous system, and body function as one. She spent years in clinical practice working with complex cases across gut health, hormonal imbalance, chronic fatigue, and stress-related dysfunction, developing a deep understanding of what patients actually need to heal. Her clinical background means she understands exactly what patients are going through — which is what makes her so effective in her role at Stem.
At Stem, she brings her expertise behind the scenes. She oversees the entire patient experience from the inside — coordinating care, managing every logistical detail, and making sure nothing gets missed at any stage of the process. Having someone with her level of training running the back end is something most clinics don't have. Our patients feel the difference.
FAQs
"I've tried everything before — will this work for me?"
If your symptoms haven't responded to conventional care, the answer is almost certainly yes. We look at your body as a whole - especially how your symptoms connect with each other, which most practitioners miss. We back that with advanced diagnostic testing to get clear data that pinpoints the source of the problem. Our method works across a wide range of conditions because we focus on underlying dysfunction, not isolated diagnoses.
Most of our patients said the same thing. Functional medicine is only as good as the practitioner applying it. Your body is meant to heal in a specific sequence, and we support the body's natural healing process in a step by step way, instead of throwing generic gut or hormone protocols at it. This is why we have such quick results and a high success rate with our patients. “How are you different? I already tried functional medicine”
Most of our patients see noticeable results the first month, and have resolved their symptoms by the time their package (12 weeks) is over. The reason we get quick results is because we address the source of dysfunction very early on through our Stem Method, which accelerates healing."How quickly will I see results?
