Challenges and Limitations of Diagnosis
The diagnosis of leaky gut syndrome can be challenging because many of the symptoms associated with leaky gut, such as fatigue, headaches, and joint pain, are nonspecific and can be caused by a variety of other conditions. This can make it difficult to distinguish between leaky gut and other conditions that may present similar symptoms. […]
Multi-Mechanism Approach
This protocol is a comprehensive protocol to repairing a leaky gut and restoring optimal digestive function. Given the complexity of the condition, a multi-mechanism approach is the most effective way to address the many underlying factors that contribute to leaky gut. This approach to leaky gut involves targeting multiple pathways that contribute to gut dysfunction, […]
Mechanism 1: Avoid and Annihilate
The first mechanism is call “Avoid and Annihilate”. The goal is to eliminate any factors that may be contributing to gut inflammation and damage. Identifying and eliminating the factors that contribute to leaky gut syndrome is essential for restoring gut health and overall well-being. Step 1: Identify and Remove Food Sensitivities The first step is […]
Mechanism 2: Digestive Revival
The Digestive Revival mechanism involves restoring digestive function and providing the body with the necessary nutrients to support gut health. This phase is designed to address nutrient deficiencies and support digestive function. Step 1: Identify Nutrient Deficiencies Before beginning the Digestive Revival phase, it is important to identify any nutrient deficiencies that may be contributing […]
Mechanism 3: Flora Fix
The Flora fix focuses on restoring a healthy microbiome. Flora refers to the collection of microorganisms that live in and on the human body, including the gut, skin, and other mucosal surfaces. In the context of the gut microbiome, a healthy balance of flora is essential for optimal gut function. The goal is to introduce […]
Mechanism 4: Cellular Rebuilding
Cellular Rebuilding is the final mechanism of the leaky gut protocol. The goal is to repair and restore the intestinal lining to promote optimal gut health. The intestinal lining has a remarkable ability to repair and regenerate itself. The process of cellular rebuilding involves repairing the damaged cells in the intestinal lining and promoting the […]
