Hello Everyone!
There has been a lot of buzz around our new Gut Healing Tour, along with the release of our new mind blowing books Overcoming Illness, Ready Set Gut Health and Gut Secrets.
You all know how Pete and I are passionate about sharing good cutting edge science based and practical information on health with you and inspiring you all to take control of your health for a better quality of life.
I know you are as excited as we were researching the information and putting it all into an actionable protocol so it can be presented in easy bite size chunks, both in the books and on our nation-wide Gut Healing, Gut Secrets Tour.
I have been astounded by the results we have achieved in my clients and our Gut health followers, the many health benefits experienced in a relatively short time. We love hearing your stories, so feel free to share them with us, and each other and let’s get gut healthy!
To help demystify the process, I am sharing some of my favourite products with you and outlining their benefits in the gut healing process.
As a Naturopath, I understand how overwhelming it can be to pick the right products to use on your Health journey,
It’s important to strike the right balance between product effectiveness and price.
There is nothing more frustrating than purchasing supplements that don’t deliver enough punch for results, or worse, contain fillers in their ingredients that are counterproductive. So I am sharing what I use (as I help people all over Australia) and need to be able to get the products delivered to you even in the most remote areas.
I have included the links for ease and simplicity, so there can be no misunderstandings or confusion.
There are many ways to Gut Healing
The Modere products listed here are only one of the ways you can achieve gut health results in a simple and cost effective way, available on one website and delivered with ease out to you where ever you are in Australia. Best of all you have the peace of mind of knowing these products are scientifically formulated and are of the highest quality
This was an important factor for me when deciding on which products to share as we have many followers all around Australia and internationally, who need to be able to access quality products they can trust, easily and quickly, to get on track with Gut healing.
If you are new to these products, stay with me as I will provide you with the links and information you need to get this process happening and start you on the road to gut health.
First grab a copy of your Ready Set Gut Health book and turn to part 3 for the Eating plan and detailed protocol.
Full Disclosure: when you purchase any product with a link on this page, a small income is derived by me, from the links.
The Healthy Gut Solution: Rebuilding a healthy Microbiome
We have been using these products regularly for the last 8 years and love the integrity of the company along with the quality of their products. Their commitment to providing environmentally friendly products, with the Environmental Working group’s stamp of approval makes their products low toxicity rating viable and all their products are based in science and have transparency.
As the products you use around the home and in your personal care products have a great bearing on your gut microbiome, I strongly encourage you to make the swap to using low toxicity products both in your personal care products, toothpaste and household cleaning.
You can buy a few products each week and change over gradually as you run out of your supplies or purchase all the products you need at once.
Some of the ingredients in your day-to-day living contain chemicals, which are harmful to your microbiome and hormone balance, causing gut dysbiosis and inflammation in your gut. If you are going to go to the trouble of healing your gut, then make sure you protect it from further destruction.
The green foods powder we use is Green Qi – a great food for your good gut bugs, it is alkalising and detoxing for your system as well as being high in chlorophyll, minerals and protein.
Probiotics contain a large number of the two major strains of good bacteria found in the studies to help maintain a healthy gut balance and gut ph for proper function. If you are finding it hard to maintain the 4 week protocol due to the high levels of toxins being released as the bad bugs die off you may wish to go slower and do 1 sachet a day for 12 weeks.
If you have problems with detoxifying, try Liver Health, take a tablet 3 times a day whilst the die off of the bad bugs is occurring. This usually feels like bloating, headaches and flu like symptoms. It’s also worth supplementing with a good multi-vitamin, as you need a good supply of B vitamins for the detoxification process to work efficiently.
Paracleanse helps to maintain healthy intestinal bacteria, may help with overgrowth of the bad bugs and promote balance in your microbiome, whilst supporting healthy digestion and providing lymphatic support in eliminating the toxins.
Eating an anti inflammatory diet is crucial to relieving the pressure on the liver and to promote healing through out the body. By reducing the stress on the system, your liver is able to play catch up with the overloading it has had to contend with up to date.
In extreme conditions where candida growth is systemic and there has been a history of staph infections or multiple antibiotics used, I would recommend you see a Naturopath for support, before attempting to do the process yourself, or proceed slowly with the probiotics and take one sachet daily over a 3-4 month period. It is always better to work slowly with your body without generating a healing crisis.
If you experience, heartburn, reflux or constipation, drink more water, add KFibre and Aloe Vera, in addition to digestive enzymes, is my recommendation, plus it has a nourishing effect on your digestive system and gut wall.
Finally, if you have had gut problems for some time, you may be having problems breaking down your proteins effectively to access your amino acids. By supplementing with Biocell Pure Link (Collagen Liquid Supplement), your body has direct access to the building blocks it requires to make enzymes, hormones, and neurotransmitters, to keep you happy, make muscle and repair and heal.
If you are feeling lethargic and tired in the first few days of the gut program, why not try Endurance? This formula helps your body during times of stress, and helps to promote energy production.
My final tip is to be proactive with your gut health and supplement with Kfibre daily. 2 tablespoons per person a day will help feed your good bacteria and get them reducing inflammation and absorbing nutrients in your system at a much fsster rate.
This fibre is FODMAPS safe and gluten free so don’t hold back! This great fibre supplement is only available Australia wide currently. It’s a complete plant food as it contains high antioxidants and other nutrients, but because it’s an insoluble fibre it can be mixed in to food and drinks at your leisure. It is a high butyrate producing fibre which is crucial for gut and brain health and may prevent autoimmunity.
Drink Green smoothies to build fiber and alkalise your system
Regular smoothies are crucial for healing your gut, Our favourite smoothie maker is the very cost effective Ladyship Essence Extractor. It can extract essential oils from your herbs and leafy greens, make seed and nut milks in 30 seconds and mill your healthier grains into flour in seconds. This machine is extremely user friendly, cost effective and long lasting. It is used every day in our home, and we often travel with it.
Drink plenty of good water
As we discuss in our book Gut Secrets, it is extremely important to drink healthy filtered water. This way you ensure the chlorine, fluoride and heavy metals, all of which are bacterial poisons, can be extracted from your drinking water.
Everything in your body runs on water, from your saliva production to your detoxification processes. With out adequate, good water, Gut health is sabotaged.
The Ace Water Filter alkalises, mineralises and returns an ionic charge to your water, whilst removing the poisons. These units are portable and very cost effective, and are what we use in our home and for all our family. Alkaline water has also been shown to assist with reducing reflux symptoms.
As we are 77% water, and everything in our body requires water, it is important to drink good water.
