Summary of the gut health protocol

I generally do not perform extensive gut testing, while these tests can be useful in certain situations, they typically provide only a single snapshot in time and seldom alter the outcomes of my protocols. Instead, I focus on evaluating your current nutritional intake to identify any potential triggers and guide you through my  protocols.  In the initial stages which usually last between 2 to 8 weeks, I focus on the use of high-quality lipids, molecular hydrogen, pectins, and selected herbal formulas.

These components are carefully chosen to promote healthy digestive function and stabilise inflammation.  After the initial period, I begin to introduce specific prebiotics and human milk oligosaccharides. These elements play a crucial role in kickstarting the diversification of the gut microbiome and encouraging the growth of beneficial bacterial species.

In addition I strongly encourage you to focus on nutrition and lifestyle protocols designed to retrain your circadian biology and enhance vagal tone.  Towards the end of these protocols you will enter a reintroduction phase where I will guide you to diversify your diet. This step is critical for ensuring continued health and the ongoing diversification of your gut microbiome.
