Improving your gut health involves a straightforward approach known as the 5 Rs. Each of these steps plays a critical role in maintaining a balanced gut microbiome.

1. Remove the Triggers

The first step is to eliminate elements harmful to your gut, such as bad bacteria, irritants, and foods that trigger sensitivities. Common culprits include gluten, dairy, soy, corn, and sugar, although the triggers can vary from person to person. Organic foods are recommended to minimize pesticide exposure, which can worsen gut issues. To ensure you're not consuming any harmful microbes, wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly, possibly soaking them in a mixture of baking soda and vinegar.

Foods: Avoid foods you're allergic to for a month. Also skip gluten, dairy, soy, corn, and sugar.
Diets: Consider the Autoimmune Paleo or Anti-Inflammatory diet.
Supplements:
Candida GN and Berbeblast: Anti-microbials to kill bad bacteria. Take these with food.
Active SP: Helps to break down harmful biofilms. Take on an empty stomach.
**O3 Cap: Ozonated oil 1 cap a day for more severe dysbiosis (Optional)

2. Replace Whatā€™s Missing

What you need to replace depends on your specific needs. If you lack certain digestive enzymes or bile, they should be replenished. For those low in stomach acid, hydrochloric acid can be beneficial.

Enzymes & Acids: If you're lacking digestive enzymes or acids
Fiber: Add psyllium husk as a fiber supplement or more veggies if needed
Supplements:
Stomazyme: Take 1 pill 30 minutes before meals to aid digestion.
**Can substitute Stomazyme with Diazyme or Adrezyme if not tolerating acid or bile (Optional)

3. Reinoculate with Good Bacteria

The next step involves reintroducing beneficial bacteria into your gut. You can accomplish this through probiotics and fermented foods like yogurt, kimchi, and sauerkraut. Prebiotics can also support probiotic function. Be cautious when reintroducing these elements. If done excessively, it could throw off the balance of your microbiome, leading to issues like constipation.

Remember, the right amount, timing, frequency, and rotation are key. This is especially crucial for those who are weaker or have compromised health conditions.

Probiotics: Slowly introduce probiotics and fermented foods like kefir, kimchi, and yogurt.
Prebiotics to feed the Good Bacteria: Use 1 tablespoon of flax or chia seeds with meals.
Supplements:
Pro-Y: Take 1-2 in the morning on an empty stomach to add good bacteria.
**Can substitute Pro-Y with Pro-B or Adrebiotics (Optional)

4. Repair Your Gut

After eliminating toxins and harmful elements, focus on repairing the gut lining. Supplements like glutamine, as well as natural substances like collagen found in bone broth, can be beneficial. Other options include aloe vera and colostrum, the latter being rich in antibodies that aid the immune system. Drink 2 cups of bone broth a day for additional support.

Repairing the gut lining is crucial because a leaky gut can allow toxins to permeate, potentially leading to antibodies attacking other parts of your body. After 1-2 months of doing steps 1-3, spend 3 months repairing your gut.

Supplements:
Glutamax: A form of glutamine to help repair the gut. Take between meals.
Adrenal Gut Restore: Contains aloe and licorice for gut healing. Take between meals.
BPC Pro: Peptide that is great at healing leaky gut. Take one twice a day.
Colostropro: Add on 2 caps twice a day if SIgA is low on stool test.

5. Rebalance Your Life

Lifestyle: Make time for play and relaxation. Try meditation and breathing exercises.

Food: Slowly reintroduce foods you've avoided, one every 4 days, while watching for reactions. Continue avoiding sugar and processed foods.
