A growing body of research suggests that the gut is the key to good health. The digestive system is almost entirely composed of bacteria, and these bugs are critical for digestion, immune function, and mental health. A healthy inner ecosystem provides a physical barrier against infection. It also eliminates the possibility of developing food sensitivities and intolerances, reduces inflammation and oxidative stress, and allows your body to absorb nutrients from food.

How Bad Diet And Toxins Destroy Gut Bacteria: ‘Leaky Gut’ Linked To Many Diseases

The long-term use of medications such as antibiotics and oral contraceptives, as well as poor dietary choices, can all negatively impact the bacterial balance in your gut. There is also growing evidence that disrupting the balance between good and bad bacteria increases susceptibility to chronic illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, depression, and autoimmune diseases.

Gut Healing Program is an intensive 3-phase protocol that uses a specifically designed diet and a selection of specific nutritional supplements to introduce good bacteria into the digestive tract.

The Phase 1 Diet Balances Your pH Levels And Provides Prebiotics To Heal The Gut Lining.

In the first phase, you will eliminate foods from your diet that could be causing dysbiosis or harming gut health. These foods include processed foods, sugars, and artificial sweeteners, caffeine, gluten, alcohol, and many others.

Start by removing all of the following from your diet:

• Sugar and artificial sweeteners – Processed foods – Gluten – Caffeine – Alcohol – Salad dressings that contain sugar or unhealthy oils

In their place, you will incorporate “real food”: organic vegetables, grass-fed meats, wild-caught fish, healthy fats, nuts, and whole grains.

Phase 2 Introduces Pro-biotics To Restore The Gut Flora

Instead of taking supplements that deliver prebiotics to your digestive system (like fructooligosaccharides), you will eat foods that contain them instead. For example, almonds, bananas, garlic, onions, Jerusalem artichokes, chicory root are all rich in prebiotics.

To restore the good bacteria to your gut during Phase 2, you will take a specific probiotic supplement containing Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Bifidobacterium Longum, which have been shown to improve symptoms of inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

In addition to the probiotic supplement, you will take a probiotic powder containing Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus Acidophilus twice daily to restore good bacteria in your gut.

Phase 3 Focuses On Repairing The Gut Lining

During Phase 3, you will be taking a glycine supplement that has been shown to improve the lining of the ileum (part of your small intestine) and decrease bowel inflammation by coating and healing intestinal walls. This is an essential step in restoring Gut Healing Program, as many people’s digestive problems are caused by an inflamed, leaky gut.

You will also be taking colostrum which promotes repair of the cells that form part of your intestinal lining (enterocytes) and reduces inflammation. It has been shown to improve symptoms in individuals with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, but it has also been shown to significantly improve the symptoms of indigestion and reflux.

Finally, you will take a phosphatidylcholine supplement. Phosphatidylcholine is found in high concentrations in both the enterocytes that form part of your intestinal lining as well as those that form part of your brain cells. This means that it is a vital nutrient for repairing both gut and brain health, which often go hand in hand.
