"Heal-Seal-Repair Protocol" - what do I recommend to repair your gut?
Send me a text if you liked this episode.
Today I introduce you to my Heal-Seal-Repair Program.
It's designed to address gut health and various related health issues.
The program focuses on reducing gut inflammation through a structured Elimination Diet Schedule, identifying individual trigger foods, and categorising foods into five groups: ideal, reasonable, acceptable, foods to eat with caution, and foods to avoid.
The program consists of a four-week detox phase and an eight-week reintroduction phase.
Participants are encouraged to carefully monitor their body's reactions to foods reintroduced gradually.
The program emphasises personalised dietary choices and provides flexibility in meal planning, aiming to promote overall health and well-being.
I also touch on complementary protocols like intermittent fasting and ketogenic beverages and highlight the importance of consulting healthcare providers for comprehensive health assessments.
Enjoy!
