Personalized nutrition and leaky gut repair, because how you heal and how you feel start from the inside out.
In today's fast paced world, things like stress, too much sugar, a diet low in dietary fiber, excessive drinking, use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and food sensitivities all contribute to leaky gut. Leaky gut syndrome causes incompletely digested nutrients, toxins, bacteria, and waste to leak through the intestines and into the bloodstream.
The foreign substances entering the blood can cause an autoimmune response in the body, including inflammatory and allergic reactions, such as respiratory and digestive issues, headaches, joint pain, skin conditions, and more.
The focus is on extinguishing what robs nutrient absorption first, and beginning to seal your gut lining before detoxing, so that your gut barrier is strong enough to withstand a detox and you do not recirculate those toxins into your bloodstream. This is where we make sure we clear the invaders that were causing the fire, along with other underlying infections and toxins, especially environmental toxins, and bind them so they can be removed from the body, while supporting the two stress hormones, cortisol and insulin, that are damaging your health.
Next we rebuild the microbiome by restoring probiotics, balancing the acidity of the stomach, which is necessary for adequate absorption of proteins, calcium, B vitamins, and iron, and finally by supporting the IgG antibodies, which help modulate a normal immune response.
We believe it is necessary to get rid of what is causing the intestines to be compromised and to seal off the area, so toxins, viruses, bacteria, and other foreign invaders can be cleared and removed safely without being recirculated into the bloodstream through an unsealed gut. The same principle applies when we are rebuilding your intestines and adding good flora and nutrients back into the body. If intestinal permeability is still increased, it is hard to keep your flora, acid, and nutrients balanced.
We believe that to have success in healing your microbiome you must have the proper help, through bioavailable and easily digestible supplementation. We break this supplemental regimen into three phases.
Order matters. Sealing before detoxing is what stops toxins being recirculated into the bloodstream, so the phases run in sequence rather than all at once.
The microbiome needs the right protein first, provided through bone broth protein or a no-grain plant-based protein for vegetarians. Alongside it we use herbal formulas and amino acids as a fuel source and a precursor for the growth of cells in the GI mucosal lining, and to help against gut pathogens such as candida and parasitic infections. This puts an end to the feeding frenzy that damages the intestinal lining and drives increased permeability.
Detoxing and de-stressing. Toxins make their way into the body over time through diet, the environment, and intestinal invaders like candida, which can produce dozens of toxins on their own. Here we reduce stress and eliminate toxins, supported by a complete protein that stabilizes blood sugar and allows the body to enter a state of deeper cleansing, together with antioxidants, minerals, and nutrients.
Restoring and replenishing. Healthy bacteria are the carpenters, and they need a healthy intestinal lining to work with, which is why sealing comes first. We repopulate the digestive system with the proper probiotics, balance acidity by addressing hydrochloric acid levels, provide proteolytic enzymes, increase digestive enzymes naturally through herbal bitters, and support the immune response.
