When I 1st started having gut health issues. I knew I wanted to do a holistic approach. So there was a local chiropractor in town who was doing a cellular healing program. So I went and met with him. He sold me on the idea. It was very expensive. I paid for it up front, and then he gave me probably 8 bottles of supplements, and I was told that my diet needed to consist of only beef or venison, homemade beef, bone broth. and I believe I could have eggs.

He wanted me to take these supplements and eat like that for 15 days. 15 days later and start the fiber, supplement. It immediately bloats me out to where I look like I'm 7 months pregnant, and I cannot go to the bathroom.

I do not feel any better. I absolutely cannot stand the smell or taste of homemade beef broth. So, apparently either, was that I had Candida overgrowth in my gut. pivoted away from that program that I paid a lot of money for. Found a nutrition coach

everything you're eating is absolutely not being absorbed because your labs look like you're severely malnourished compared to your diet. So she told me that she wanted me to do a stool sample, because she was fairly positive that I had candida overgrowth, which I had no idea at the time what that even meant. But let me tell you what it means Basically, it is a yeast that coats your entire intestinal lining, and it is so It's almost like it has a shell around it that protects it like, think of a pill and eat shrimp. It thrives off of sugar.

that will make these tiny permeable holes of your intestinal lining, which leads to leaky gut. But what happens is, your body in turn starts to attack itself. That shows up as an autoimmune disorder. It can look different in each individual person, because we're all uniquely made up.

So different practitioners use different protocols like I said, a lot of them will put you on the most overly complicated protocol ever. and it does not have to be that complicated. So what I found was a really good probiotic. and I used to think probiotics had to be a certain brand name kept in the refrigerator, and like gazillion you know, cultures. I learned you really want a soil-based organism probiotic that can be shelf stable.

and can have the ability to have digestive enzymes that can break down that shell covering the yeast. and then have antifungals to kill the yeast. so a good magnesium and there are a lot of types of magnesium. They all do different things. So you want to make sure you get the magnesium that helps you go to the bathroom. also you want a gentle form of it. So you're not running to the bathroom like you're prepping for a colonoscopy. You're actually going to the bathroom like a normal person should. And let me stop here and tell you normal bowel movements. You should have one per meal that you ate 24 h prior. So if you eat breakfast, lunch and dinner the next 24 h you should go to the bathroom 3 different times to eliminate breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

if you're eating one meal a day, that's fine. But if you eat 3 meals a day that's not going to work.

some protocols are so complicated and yet aren't really addressing the root problem. It didn't matter how long I ate beef, eggs, and bone broth. It wasn't doing anything. It was trying to heal the gut. It was giving my gut a rest, but it wasn't breaking down the shell of the Candida, killing the Candida.

once you detox the sugar out of your body and get on the right supplementation to kill the Candida. Get it out of your body. You're gonna feel so much better, and you're not going to blow every time you eat fiber.

So that's my simple solution for starting off on a gut. Health regimen that will make you feel better, help you absorb your food. Better, nourish your body better, and also give you more energy. At the same time.
