GUT REPAIR 101

BASIC STARTING 'GUT REPAIR' LINE UP: Note: It's highly recommended to work with a professional to customize supplements for YOUR specific needs. You can book an initial consultation with me [here] . However, if you're opting to DIY or have financial constraints that make it difficult to work with a practitioner, these are a good starting point. While I can't guarantee they'll work for you individually, these are some of the products I often use for my patients with gut issues. Megasporebiotic : A "smart" probiotic in spore form that survives stomach acid and reaches the intestines, where it’s needed. These strains can produce their own antibiotics to eliminate bad bacteria while supporting the growth of good bacteria. It's the ultimate gut rebalancer. Zypan : A blend of digestive enzymes and stomach acid that helps ensure you're breaking down your food properly, aiding digestion from start to finish. MegaIGG : Acts like a binder and immune system modulator to clean up toxins and byproducts released by bacteria as we begin gut repair. This helps prevent die-off symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, fatigue, and migraines. MegaMucosa : Supports gut lining repair from inflammation and leaky gut. Think of it like aloe for your irritated intestines!

A FEW NOTES BEFORE YOU START SHOPPING: If you prefer a one-stop-shop, grab the Immune Support Packets. I personally prefer to have each individual vitamin on hand so I can increase the dosages while I'm sick (especially for Vitamin D, zinc, Vitamin C, astragalus, andrographis). I include some liquid vs pill options for those who struggle taking pills or don't want to take a lot of them. So read descriptions so you don't double purchase. MAINTENANCE + PREVENTION Start taking in the fall or ASAP! Immunotone Plus or Mycoimmune (get Mycoimmune if you prefer liquid... but Immunotone is stronger) Terraflora Deep Immune Probiotic ACUTE COLD/FLU ONSET: Get these NOW so you have them on hand to start taking as soon as you feel like you're getting sick! Double the dosages listed in the directions. --If it's 1/day take 1 in am/1 in pm. --If it's 1/am, 1/pm take 2/am and 2/pm N Acetyl Cysteine Zinc Picolinate Vit D Supreme or Liposomal D Immunotone A note on Vitamin D : Remember not to take high doses of Vitamin D for a long time (4+ months) as it can lead to overdose. Get your levels checked every fall and spring to know where you're at before the winter season approaches. This can also help prevent seasonal depression. When sick it's important to avoid: -dairy/phlegmy foods like yogurt, cheese, ice cream, etc -sugar -grains like wheat, oats, etc -cold and raw foods like raw veggies, smoothies, ice cream, ice water -processed foods with fillers, artificial/natural flavors, etc It's important to view food as medicine during this time and include lots of: -soups/stews or cooked/warm foods that are easier for us to digest while the body is run down -grassfed bone broth -ginger, lemon, honey -mint for sore throats -fennel for nausea/digestive issues -tea F

Planning on a big night out? The best way to avoid a hangover requires pre-party-preparation. For best results start taking the following supplements the week prior to your big night out and continue taking the week after. Not all hangovers end the next day.
