Goals:

  1. Boost Systemic Resilience

Healthy Diet

Goal: Foster a balanced and resilient microbiome through gradual expansion towards a diverse and healthy diet.

  1. Vibrant Vegetables & Fruit: Include leafy greens, deep-colored veggies, and sulfur-rich options.
  2. Quality Protein Sources: Emphasize organ meats, fatty fish.
  3. Fermented Foods & Healthy Fats: For gut balance.
  4. Mindful Eating Practices: Intermittent fasting, eating until 80% full.
  5. Avoidance: Minimize problematic foods.
  6. Therapeutic Support: Dietary counseling

Quality Sleep

Goal: Ensure adequate and high-quality sleep to support the body’s healing processes, including gut restoration.

  1. Sleep Hygiene Practices: Reduce caffeine after 11 AM, eliminate alcohol, block blue light in the evening, and ensure morning sunlight exposure.
  2. Optimal Sleep Window: Fall asleep between 8-10 PM, aim for 8-9 hours of sleep.

Routine Exercise

Goal: Engage in enjoyable and well-rounded physical activities to promote gut health and manage inflammation.

  1. Comprehensive Approach: stretching + cardio + strengthening + balance

Stress Regulation

Goal: Manage and reduce stress through mindful practices.

  1. Holistic Approach: Nature, mindfulness, meditation, gratitude, positive connections, forgiveness.
  2. Avoidance Strategies: Limit harmful habits and toxic relationships.
  3. Therapeutic Support: Gut-directed hypnotherapy

Hormetic Stress & Vagus Nerve Stimulation

Goal: Calibrate the gut-brain connection through vagus nerve stimulation.

  1. Daily Practices: Specific breathing exercises + nose/diaphragmatic breathing (singing, humming, gargling)

Ongoing Monitoring

Goal: Regular monitoring to ensure stability and early detection of potential issues.

Core:

  • Metabolomics Snapshot
    • How It Works: Utilizes advanced analytical techniques to quantify thousands of small-molecule metabolites in the body. This creates a “snapshot” of current metabolic activities, revealing how nutrients are being absorbed and used, and how microbial populations are affecting overall health.
    • Usage: Conducted to monitor progress and fine-tune interventions.
  • Wearable integration (HRV, Sleep, Activity)
    • How It Works: Syncs with wearable devices that track Heart Rate Variability (HRV), sleep quality, and daily activity. Data gathered provides a real-time, dynamic measure of systemic health and resilience.
    • Usage: Continuous monitoring to gather longitudinal data, particularly valuable in the “Rebalance” phase to evaluate the effectiveness of earlier interventions.
  • Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)
    • How It Works: Consists of brief surveys about symptoms, lifestyle, and overall well-being. These scores help us understand how you’re feeling beyond what the clinical tests can show.
    • Usage: Administered at key stages to correlate with other test results and to gauge improvements in systemic resilience and overall quality of life.
