Running Your Gut Health Protocol

Disclaimer: Neither this article, nor the Gut Health Guide or Protocol, make any claims as to treatment or cure of any disease or illness. This information, guide, and protocol exist only to help raise the overall health of our gut through nutritional means.

The Gut Health Protocol & 30-Day Challenge starts today!

If you haven’t read the Protocol yet or prepared, that’s fine. You can do so now and then get started.

On this protocol we address Acid Reflux, GERD, IBS, Candida, H. Pylori, C. Diff, Leaky Gut, SIBO, Gluten Reactions & Much More.

We address hormone and energy levels, mood, the ability to burn body fat and increase muscle gains.

We address sleep, stress levels and overall mood.

We address cravings for sugar that derail our diets or fat loss attempts.

We address bloating and a protruding stomach.

And we improve overall health and longevity.

This is probably the most important protocol we have released, because it truly affects every aspect of our overall health.

Our gut is the chief entrance to our body.

And its ability to break down foods into nutrients our cells need to function, to balance our hormones, to provide key neurotransmitters for our brain and nervous system, and to prevent harmful toxins and microorganisms from making it into our bloodstream is more important than any other aspect of our body to ensure our overall health, energy levels, and longevity.

But let’s go a little deeper.


HOW IMPORTANT IS OUR GUT HEALTH


Our hormones control the overall functioning of our body at the direction of our brain.

If our hormones are deficient or out of balance, our cells aren’t getting the correct messages at the correct times to carry out the functions they need to so we can maintain energy, strength, the ability to recover, and much more.

If key neurotransmitters are low, we won’t just be stressed out, anxious or sleepless, our brain’s control of the body through hormones also goes off.

If toxins or microorganisms make it through into our bloodstream they can destroy tissue and corrupt cell structures, overloading our immune system.

They can cause lesions in our blood vessels that slow or even prevent blood flow.

And they can corrupt our DNA, leading to faulty cell repair or replacement.

They also cause intense sugar cravings, gas, inches of bloating around our waist, prevent fat loss, give us heartburn, GERD, and IBS, make muscle building hard, cause skin trouble, and just give us an overall bad time.

Even more, as there are only so many stem cells in our body to replace injured or destroyed cells, and as they each can only replace cells a set number of times, the more we use them to repair the damage done by these harmful bacteria and toxins that get through our gut, the sooner they run out.

And they are the key to our overall longevity.

But this all comes back to the health of our gut. So this is important.

Over the next thirty days we’re going to address digestion, harmful bacteria, and yeasts that may be living in our digestive tract.

And we’ll address the Leaky Gut and others issues they cause.

By the end of the thirty days our digestion, energy levels, sugar cravings, hormonal balance, cortisol levels, ability to gain muscle and lose fat, ability to sleep soundly, and overall stress levels and health will be significantly improved.

All you have to do is follow the protocol.

Keep to the foods and food types on the yes list and avoid the foods on the no list as they will make the process much longer.

And make sure to take the supplements listed in the ways listed.

These supplements help to kill off the harmful microorganisms while adding to and feeding the beneficial bacteria in our gut.

At the same time they help to protect our cells from the bio-toxins these microorganisms release and help to repair the damage they’ve done.

During this you may experience some reactions. These could be tiredness, exhaustion, or even headaches. But this will be mostly during the first week if it happens at all.

And that’s fine, just get more rest and sleep.

And if overly tired, don’t workout that day or the next as your body needs it’s energy to get through this and working out on top of this will put too much stress on the immune system.

Relief can also help with this.

Also make sure you’re drinking plenty of water to help flush out the toxins released as these harmful microbes are destroyed.

If you experience any diarrhea, make sure to take electrolytes, as this can dehydrate you as much or more than sweating. This may occur when the body is trying to get rid of toxins or bio-toxins released, or the microorganisms once they’re out of their protective bio-films.

Electrolytes are also very helpful to flush the toxins and bio-toxins out of the body.

Gas and bloating may increase some at first, but this will go way fast.

By the end of the first week, or possibly the second week, most of these reactions should be gone or significantly reduced.

Over weeks three and four, energy levels, strength and mood should lift.

Brain fog should start clearing and it should become easier to relax and fall into deep sleep.

Gas and bloating should have subsided and will continue to.

Digestive troubles should have cleared up or be far on their way, depending on how bad they were before.

Cravings for sugar and junk food should also be much lower and you may have lost body fat on top of the inches lost from bloating.

By the end you will feel much better than you did at the beginning, and if you carry on further it will not only be much easier to do, but will carry on producing even more results for up to a few months.

If you need any help during this, make sure to join our group where you can ask any questions you have.

There are also certain metrics you should keep while doing this, starting today. They will help you to judge how far along you are and how well you’re doing.

Remember, these may get worse for the first 1-2 weeks before they get better and then continue to get better.


METRICS TO KEEP TRACK OF


You do not need to keep track of all these metrics, and different metrics will be more important to different people.

Keep track of the ones important to you.

DAILY METRICS:

Sleep, Heart Rate & HRV:

Each day note down, to the best of your ability, how many hours of sleep you got the night before.

If you have an Oura Ring, Apple Watch or other device, keep track of how many hours and minutes of Deep Sleep and Rem Sleep you got.

Also keep track of your Resting Heart Rate (RHR) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV).

At first, deep sleep may lessen some, Resting Heart Rate and body temperature may rise, and HRV may lower.

Then they will reverse again.

WEEKLY METRICS:

The Waistline:

On the first day, measure your waist at the belly button and note down the exact measurement.

You will then measure it again at the beginning of weeks 2, 3 and 4, and at the very end.

The gas and bloating caused by SIBO is generally more significant than most people think and often we can lose a few inches or more.

Self Ratings:

Next, starting today, and weekly through the end of this protocol, rate yourself on these points and note them down each week:

1. Rate your energy levels on a scale of 1-5, with 1 being very lethargic and 5 being very energetic.

2. Rate how refreshed you do or don't feel after sleep from 1 to 5, with 1 being not refreshed at all and 5 being very refreshed. (Remember, if your body needs more sleep during this, give it the sleep it needs).

3. Rate your stress levels on a scale of 1-5, with 1 being very stressed out often and 5 being more relaxed and much less stressed.

4. Rate your mental alertness on a scale of 1-5, with 1 being heavy brain fog or lessened mental alertness and 5 being quite alert and quick-thinking.

5. If you had indigestion, acid reflux, GERD, IBS or constipation often before starting this, keep track of this as well on a week to week basis, with 1 being quite bad and 5 being no trouble anymore.

Alright.


LET'S GET STARTED!


That’s everything. I wish you well on your adventure and hope to see you happy, smiling, energetic, and very healthy at the other end!

Again, if you need any help or have any questions, do join the VIP Group where you can ask any question you have and get support.
