Finally Got My Life Back

I found Ben on X while searching for answers about my IBS symptoms after years of getting nowhere with doctors. From day one, he made everything clear and took the guesswork out of the process. The lab testing he set up finally identified the exact issues I had been struggling with for so long, something no specialist had ever been able to do.

The plan he created was practical, data driven, and easy to follow. I started seeing small wins early on, and over time my symptoms completely disappeared. I feel genuinely healthy again and it honestly feels like I have my life back.

If you’re on the fence, just do it. Working with Ben was the best investment I’ve made in myself and I’d recommend him to anyone who’s struggling with their gut health.

Really good experience from start to…

Really good experience from start to finish. Ben and George are both lovely kind people really trying to help others. The breathwork sessions is particularly impactful and eye opening. Ben has high level research and understanding relating to supplementation and nutrition. It was a pleasure working with him on the coaching journey. Hopefully a relationship and friendship which will continue to grow over time.

This took a leap of faith ...

This took a leap of faith to sign up to having read Ben's content online and not having been in touch with Aura or worked in this way before. I'm so glad I did. It is unusual for being so holistic and systemic. Ben has created a clear and well evidenced programme that refuses to deal with the individual parts of us as humans beings but instead helps us understand how our minds, guts, bodies inter-react and inter-relate. He has designed something that is accessible and workable and tailored the programme to where I was and what I needed - both for stubborn IBS related symptoms that I'd tried many things to fix, and to help me create the right structure for a period of deep creativity. What's more, I learned loads along the way, good fascinating stuff that will stay with me. I'm very grateful to him and the team.

Practical and Data-Driven Health Optimization

I worked with Aura.com, guided by Ben and George, to optimize my health through a structured and science-backed approach. Their process included bloodwork analysis, from which they designed a personalized multivitamin stack tailored to my specific needs—far more precise than generic recommendations.

In addition to supplementation, they helped me structure my year for better health and performance while incorporating breathwork techniques to support nervous system regulation. This has been useful for managing stress and improving recovery.

Ben's expertise and structured approach made the process clear and actionable, while George provided solid support along the way. The experience was professional, insightful, and well-organized, making it a worthwhile investment for anyone looking for a data-driven approach to health optimization.

Would recommend for those looking for practical, personalized health guidance.

Successful Recovery

I came across Ben and aura team on X after doing my own research on health and wellness. I had developed difficult digestive issues including constipation, bloating, and low energy. Over the course of a year, I tried many different solutions and visited many doctors but had little success.

Through Ben’s coaching sessions and protocols, my symptoms started to improve quickly. After the full 12 week program, my issues had almost fully subsided and I had better energy and mood throughout the day. It was great to get such holistic, specialized guidance that I was not able to find when working with other doctors and wellness professionals.

Ben’s treatment plan was practical and effective. We started with a full nervous system reset, then continued with various daily and weekly practices to consistently improve. We added in tailored supplements to get benefits and resolve the existing issues.

I am thankful for the time I had working with this team to fix my health issues. I feel better than ever and have a toolkit of solutions to continue living my best self. Thanks Ben!!

Ben and team have changed my life

Ben and team have been life-changing for me.

I was diagnosed with IBS after an H. pylori infection. Despite undergoing two rounds of antibiotic treatment, my symptoms didn’t improve—if anything, the antibiotics disrupted my gut bacteria even further. For the past two years, I’ve struggled with IBS, indigestion, bloating, chronic constipation, and diarrhea.

I discovered Ben through a YouTube video and began researching him across other social media platforms. His approach—grounded in both data-driven analysis and in-depth research—resonated with me. That’s when I decided to take the next step.

Before working with Ben, I was constantly guessing and visiting multiple doctors, but none had any real answers. Some told me, "There’s nothing we can do—try working with a nutritionist," but nothing seemed to help.

Since working with Ben, we’ve eliminated the guesswork. Through a detailed blood test and GI map test, we pinpointed exactly what was wrong. He then created a comprehensive plan to address the root cause, and after following it for 8–10 weeks, my symptoms significantly improved. I can feel that my stomach infection is gone, and I can visibly see the difference in both my physiology and appearance. This process has truly transformed my life.

I wish I had found Ben sooner. There’s no better feeling than true freedom—the kind that comes from having complete control over both your physical and mental well-being. Working with Ben has been life-changing, and I can’t imagine where I’d be without his guidance. If you’re on the fence, take the next step—you won’t regret it.

A transformative experience!

My name is Sebastian. I found Ben on X after reading his beautifully crafted threads. I was impressed by his work there and decided to have a call with him, hoping his approach could help me with my health issues.

What health issues, you ask?

Well, these are conditions modern medicine typically treats with lifelong pills: specifically, IBS symptoms, lack of energy, skin irritation, and poor sleep.

Living with all of these wasn’t great, even though I had learned about various lifestyle methods to address and tackle the underlying causes behind these symptoms. The problem was the overwhelming amount of information.

With information overload, you don’t really know what will work over the long run.

Ben and his systems helped a lot in this area. Working with him gave me a clear map of what I needed to do, what improvements to expect, and how to make everything realistically sustainable.

Implementing lifestyle choices, diet changes, and psychological shifts can be difficult. That’s why having the right guidance can make a significant difference.

After completing the Aura program, I saw notable improvements in all health areas. I slept better, had more energy, could eat a wider variety of foods, and experienced little to no bloating. The most striking change was the elimination of skin-related issues.

There’s still work to do, but now I have a clear path with reliable results, made possible by the guidance I received through Ben’s Aura program.

Investing in your health is by far the best choice you can make because it benefits every single area of your life.

Thank you for taking the time to share your story Sebastian. It's been a pleasure to see you break the mould and approach your health in the "new-modern" holistic way. Gone are the days of life-long prescriptions. I have no doubt your progress will continue long into the future. Thank again, Ben.

Transformative health coaching

Aura. is Awesome! I discovered Ben Smith on X and was intrigued by his approach so I decided to book a free discovery call with his assistant coach.
It immediately resonated with me, and I decided to take the leap.

Before I started working with Ben, I had dealt with chronic illness in the past and was looking for a way to optimise my health moving forward. I wanted to increase my vitality, prevent any future relapse, and continue growing and thriving. A particular issue I struggled with was managing stress and digestive issues. As a dad with young kids, I found myself often catching colds and bugs which often kept me feeling on the back foot and not operating at my best. Strengthening my immune system became a top priority.

The change I’ve experienced since working with Ben has been incredible. From our very first call, I was impressed by his vast knowledge. I'd seen many different health professionals over the years, but none had the same depth and clarity that Ben brought.
Each session delivered so much value, and I gained unexpected insights into my health that were personalised, actionable, and straightforward.

The direction Ben provided was always clear, and after each call I had concrete goals and steps to follow, which made it easy to track my progress.

Very soon I began to notice changes in how I felt – more energy, more vitality, and even people close to me commenting that I looked different, more energised.

If you’re considering working with Ben and his team, I wholeheartedly recommend it. This experience has created lasting positive change in my life.

Honoured to be a part of your journey Pete. I shared an immediate personal and emotional connection with you having seen just how far you'd already come before we met. It fills me with joy to see the path you're carving for yourself into the future, and I hope that your story encourages others to take the level of action that you have to commit to their health. Thank you, Ben.

A true transformation

Ben and everyone at aura, have been truly life-changing for me. I approached Ben with extreme dysregulation and anxiety so severe that I couldn’t even leave my house. Within a few sessions, my entire world began to transform. I also had the privilege of participating in an in-person guided breathwork session, and it was one of the most transformative experiences of my life.

I have never met someone so well-read, who conducts such deep and meticulous research, and who genuinely lives and breathes this work.

My time with Ben has been the single biggest return on investment I have ever made, and I wholeheartedly recommend him and aura to anyone seeking profound and lasting change.

Rare mix of analytical, intuitive, and effective

I am the co-founder of a functional medicine startup and a long-time meditator, but despite being pretty deep in this work, I have been desperate to find an approach to health & wellness that was deeply aligned with my personal and spiritual goals. I wanted to restore vitality to my life. I tried working with other coaches, but something kept missing the mark. Immediately upon contact with Ben's X posts, it was obvious he straddled that rare line of analytical, intuitive, and effective. I made a mental note that if he ever offered coaching, that I would seriously consider it.

I didn't have any diagnosed issues, but as a founder and toddler dad, I felt a creeping lack of energy, motivation, and satisfaction. I also did hardcore paleo and intermittent fasting for many years, which served me very well, but that approach seemed to "out of nowhere" simply stop working for me. I felt hungry and tired all the time, I started losing my hair, and I gained a lot of weight.

The most obvious change was noticeable by my wife: "You have so much energy still at the end of the day." This on its own would have been worth the investment. Tools like the Gut Reset and Nervous System Reset, changes to my nutrition composition / timing, and strong emphasis on sleep have made a night and day difference here.

But on top of all this, Ben helped me reach a truly life-changing breakthrough where I realized I had been using my spiritual meditative approaches to run away from fully coming into myself and my desires. To top all of this off, Ben's Next Five Moves mental model + his deep experience in both functional medicine and marketing have made him invaluable. It really feels like we were meant to meet and work together in this lifetime.

The best part about working with Ben is that we go deep on everything, and then he comes back to me with a digestible yet super effective distillation of what to do about it. This is the sign of a galaxy-brain coach.

His team also just clearly loves the work and are the type of people I’d want to hang out with. Highly recommend!

Ammar, what a pleasure it is to work with you. Truly touched by your review and eternally grateful to have been a part of your journey. Working with you feels like a constant breakthrough and an overall transformative experience, both for client (based on what you've said here) and for me as your coach. I look forward to seeing you continue to thrive. Thank you, Ben.

Definitely my best investment when it comes to health

During my life I became more and more aware of the existence of a big “mismatch” between our nature as a human being and the culture & systems which are created in general in our society (education, nutrition, work, health care, media etc.) and started being curious about different, innovative and quality information.

People who are having more or less the same view, I would definitely advice to get in touch with Ben and his team. After having a 12-week guidance with Aura and happy continuing with a yearly program, I would like to share the following top 3 benefits in my life:

1. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with IBD (inflammatory bowel disease). Ben gives me personalized guidance to successfully lower inflammation (with the best advices on nutrition, supplements, sleep quality, stress regulation and more)

2. Optimizing (gut) health, not only with top nutrition advices and measuring and evaluating 50-parameter blood results, but really a holistic view on how to optimize your health and more exciting: walking down the path of anti-aging.

3. Getting in touch with people that are part of a community that feels the same about the “mismatches” I already mentioned. Sharing information, ideas and passions helps me getting more control and development in my life. Having the right contacts helps me finding a way out when I need to.

Another good thing is that I really think the way Ben and his team is working, will be more and more important looking at future developments in society. Investing in yourself is really the best investment you can make and if you would like to do that, I strongly advice you to make the same step I did by contacting the Aura team.

I couldn't agree more Roy, there is a growing mismatch—but thankfully visionaries like yourself see a clear and brighter future for themselves and their health. As someone with never-ending curiosity, it's been a pleasure to push the boundaries and explore topics and areas of implementation with you. Looking forward to the year ahead! Thank you, Ben.

Would recommend to anyone in a high-performance environment struggling with health issues

Before working with Ben & the Aura team my health was rapidly deteriorating at the expense of running/growing my business. I was always 'on'.

As a result:
• I was struggling to eat - so much so that I'd throw up trying
• I had trouble sleeping - it took me ~60 minutes to fall asleep
• I was always anxious and stressed.

After working with Ben I gained +6kgs of weight I'd lost and was able to eat 3 meals a day again. I was also falling asleep in under 20 min, my HRV went up +2x, and in general I felt a lot more in control of my life - so my performance at work increased too.

It's a 3-month program, but I left with tools for life. So would recommend to anyone in a high-performance environment struggling with health issues.

I look forward to pushing things forward into the future and seeing your continued growth. Thank you, Ben.
