Gut Health

Our Process To Returning You To Having A Healthy Gut

We have a process to healing your gut that we have seen help so many people who have struggled with gut health issues for years.

1. Build Up & Strengthen The Gut

At the start of restoring your stomach’s health, we want your gut to be strengthened. The gut restoration process requires your gut to be prepared and strengthened before the next steps. By restoring healthy eating habits, and increasing prebiotics and probiotics, you can replenish necessary components for digestion. Reintroducing good bacteria to your gut will start the process of reaching PEAK health.

Yard Analogy Example: When wanting to remove weeds from your yard, first, you want to make your yard as healthy as possible. Essentially, step 1 is to fertilize and aerate the soil.

2. Apply Antimicrobials

Antimicrobials provide a harsh clean-out to your gut. Antimicrobials weaken the bad material in your gut. While it also weakens the good bacteria in your gut, it also clears out bad bacteria in your gut. Since we already built up the good bacteria in your gut during step 1, your gut can handle the harsher environment.

Yard Analogy Example: Antimicrobials are like the weed killer that is applied to your gut. Just like weed killer, when it is applied to your lawn, it creates a harsh environment to remove the weeds.

3. Repair, Heal & Restore Your Gut

After the antimicrobials clear out your gut, it is time to restore it to its formal glory. Repairing your gut and restoring it is the final step to make sure your gut remains healthy for a long time. And that is what it takes, time is needed for your gut to return to its former health.

Yard Analogy Example: After you clear out the weeds in your yard, you don’t leave it alone, or else the weeds will return. Don’t let all the hard work of removing the bad parasites and bacteria from your gut go to waste.
