Gut Health

TRUST YOUR GUT PROGRAM

Our gut health program is a comprehensive 75 day program that will help to heal your gut and restore the microbiome. Leaky gut syndrome is a condition that involves damaged lining of the small intestine, causing incomplete digested nutrients, toxins, bacteria, and waste to “leak” through the intestines and flood the bloodstream. The foreign substances entering the blood can cause an autoimmune response in the body and causing digestive issues, thyroid problems, chronic fatigue, and other gastrointestinal problems.

Phase 1 – Heal & Seal

The first phase of our gut healing protocol is called: Heal and Seal. Just as if a home was on fire, the first thing we need to do is extinguish the flames, and wet down some areas of the house so that it will be harder for the flames to spread. Some of the things that may be responsible for starting the fire in our gut would be: Parasites, candida, food sensitivities, etc., and we must get rid of or “extinguish” those because we can seal any gaps that may have developed in our gut lining.

We go about doing this by implementing an elimination diet, which will help food sensitivities and intolerances get under control. We have to remove everything in the body that will block nutrient absorption and we must then seal your gut before detoxing and clearing out the debris.

Phase 2 – Detox & DeStress

Once everything is removed and sealed, you would move into the second phase of our program, and going back to our burning house example, that means we would begin to remove the debris from the area. We use a formulation of antioxidants, minerals, and nutrients designed to support a healthy response to environmental toxins, especially heavy-metal toxicity.

The goal of a detox is to enhance the body’s detoxification pathways while eliminating any adverse effects on the body from pesticides and additives in food. By releasing excess amounts of cortisol and estrogen, the liver and kidneys are constantly working. The best way to detox is to strengthen the function of the organs. We want to make sure we detox any invasions that can further damage the gut.

Phase 3 – Restore & Replenish

Next, we’d call in the carpenters, and get to work with the rebuilding, which rolls us into phase three. The carpenters we’re calling in are the beneficial bacteria, which includes the extensively studied HBN019 strand of bifidobacterium lactis. From there, we will balance the acidity of the stomach with hydrochloric acid and glutamic acid, which are necessary for the adequate absorption of proteins, calcium, B vitamins, and iron.
