SWAP OUT

Additional notes

"❌ Tums → ✅ Repairvite is always in the Pantry! Why I swap it: Tums neutralize acid temporarily but don’t address why reflux, burning, or irritation is happening. RepairVite supports: • Gut lining repair • Mucosal integrity • Inflammation signaling in the GI tract 💡 This swap focuses on healing the source, not suppressing the signal."

Additional notes

"Swap out ❌ Motrin / Ibuprofen → ✅ the list Why I swap it: NSAIDs calm pain by blocking inflammation pathways, but they also disrupt the gut lining, kidneys, and mitochondrial signaling over time. PEA supports: • Neuro-inflammatory balance • Mast cell regulation • Pain signaling without gut injury 💡 This is how we support pain pathways without compromising gut health."

"Swap out ❌ Plain Water → ✅ Check the list Why I make this swap: Water alone doesn’t hydrate cells — electrolytes do.When carbs drop, insulin drops… and your kidneys excrete sodium, potassium, and magnesium faster. That’s why so many people on keto, low-carb, fasting, or under chronic stress feel: • fatigue • dizziness • headaches • palpitations • constipation • “wired but flat” energy They’re not dehydrated — they’re under-electrolyted."

Additional notes

"❌ Metamucil / Benefiber → ✅ Acacia Fiber Why I make this swap: Most commercial fibers are treated like plumbing tools…… bulk in, bulk out. But the gut isn’t a pipe. It’s an ecosystem. Metamucil (psyllium) and Benefiber (wheat dextrin) often: • increase gas and bloating • ferment too aggressively • irritate sensitive or inflamed guts • worsen SIBO-prone patterns • add volume without feeding the right microbes More fiber ≠ better digestion."
