What everybody should know about healing your gut.
It takes time, consistency, & a very strict protocol to truly heal your gut!
The 5R protocol for healing the gut was developed by the Institute of Functional Medicine.
This is the approach I use for healing digestive conditions with my clients as well.
The time it takes to heal ones gut depends on the damage done, the ability to stick to the protocol, & how the body responds.
The 5Rs include:
1️⃣Remove - Remove the foods & microbes that compromise the gut, causing dysbiosis and inflammation
2️⃣Replace - Stomach acid & enzymes need to be replaced in order to digest food properly and heal. Motility must be restored, & nutrients must be replaced as needed
3️⃣Repair - Repair the lining of the intestine to heal leaky gut
4️⃣Re-inoculate - Introduce beneficial microbes into the microbiome
5️⃣ Rebalance - Learn how to manage stress in your life, in your body, & in your gut
It is important to note that this process should be done with the help & guidence of a coach, dietitian, or doctor.
