2 out of 3 Americans live with leaky gut.
This leads to 72% increased cancer risk, autoimmune disease & guaranteed depression.
But don't panic—most cases are fixable.
Here's how to heal your gut & prevent disease (before it's too late):🧵 https://t.co/wkM0r1VoGV
First, understand what’s destroying your gut every day:
• Processed foods & seed oils
• Sugar & artificial sweeteners
• Antibiotics (kill good bacteria)
• Chronic stress
• Alcohol
• Even your Mouthwash
Do these long enough & your whole system collapses from the inside out:
Your gut has 6 critical functions:
1. Produces digestive enzymes
2. Maintains gut lining integrity
3. Trains your immune system (70% lives here)
4. Neutralizes cancer-causing compounds
5. Produces vitamins (K, B's)
6. Metabolizes hormones (+ medications)
When this breaks down, everything else fails...
Now let's see how you can start healing your gut:
1. The elimination diet
Remove trigger foods for 21-28 days (the half-life of IgG response), then systematically reintroduce each food while tracking symptoms.
(IgG are immune reactions to certain foods that quietly inflame your gut)
Why 21 days?
That's how long it takes inflammation to come down so your gut can actually start healing.
But here's the key:
Most people need different elimination approaches based on their specific gut issues:
IBS → FODMAP diet
IBD → Specific carbohydrate diet
Fungal overgrowth → Anti-fungal diet
Autoimmune → Paleo elimination
Severe cases → Elemental diet (protein shakes only)
One size doesn't fit all. https://t.co/clDMFA4lNA
Phase 1: Remove the triggers and reduce inflammation.
Eliminate: Sugar, alcohol, seed oils, pesticides, conventionally raised food.
Add: Whole foods, quality protein, healthy fats, fermented foods, polyphenols, fiber.
This supports your liver's Phase 2 detoxification pathways: https://t.co/8eqNTm0X73
Phase 2: Remove pathogens with antimicrobials.
Natural options include:
• Oregano oil
• Berberine
• Caprylic acid
• Black walnut
*Don’t DIY—get a stool test to know exactly what you’re fighting* https://t.co/Do8C6lyUlc
Phase 3: Improve digestion and nutrient absorption.
• Digestive enzymes (protease, lipase, amylase)
• Betaine HCl (stomach acid support)
• Apple cider vinegar before meals
• Ox bile for fat digestion
If you feel nauseous after fats or have fatty stools, you need bile support.
Phase 4: Restore beneficial bacteria.
Use probiotics in courses, not constantly.
Think of your gut as a garden:
Probiotics = seeds
Prebiotics = fertilizer
Good bacteria overtakes the weeds (bad bacteria)
Rotate different strains throughout the year. https://t.co/AVBAmVejeW
Phase 5: Repair the gut lining.
Key nutrients:
• L-glutamine (gut cell fuel)
• Collagen (tissue healing)
• Bone broth (amino acids)
• Zinc (gut integrity)
• Omega-3s (reduce inflammation)
• Aloe vera and slippery elm (soothe mucosa) https://t.co/KCb6rTKFpw
Pay attention to lifestyle factors that destroy your gut:
Chronic stress (kills gut-brain axis)
Poor sleep (cortisol spikes at 3-4 AM)
Over-exercising (compromises gut)
NSAIDs and acid blockers
If you actually want to heal, fixing the ones above isn't optional (it's essential): https://t.co/MZGsSIJ9Mt
Now let’s look at the warning signs your gut needs help...
Most of you experience these daily but still ignore them: https://t.co/moD8PSFylj
+ The morning gut protocol
1. Oil pull with coconut oil (10 minutes)
2. Scrape tongue
3. Brush teeth with natural toothpaste
4. Drink water with sea salt
⚠️ Don’t drink water before oil pulling.
You’ll swallow the bacteria that built up in your mouth overnight.
The protocol above is a great start for healing your gut...
But to fully fix and maintain gut health, you need proper testing.
You need way more than the 20 basic markers your doctor checks...
We test 124. And we don’t settle for “normal.”
We look for optimal function.
That’s how we catch dysfunction years before symptoms show: https://t.co/uvBw483Nuo
With deeper testing, we’ve:
• Identified leaky gut before it triggered autoimmunity
• Spotted major heart risk in “healthy” athletes
• Uncovered toxic stress in top performers
• Reversed autoimmune markers before disease hit
The proof is below:

You’ll get:
• 80-page breakdown
• Expert interpretation
• Personalized protocols
• 124 biomarker test
