Functional Gut Blueprint: 4 Phases to Calm Autoimmune Flares
Autoimmune flares usually start in the gut. This is the four-phase protocol we use to stabilize digestion and immunity.
Phase 1: Remove Triggers
We eliminate inflammatory foods, mold exposure, and chronic stress drivers. Data comes from GI-MAP, MRT food sensitivity, and lived experience.
Phase 2: Replace & Repair
- Digestive enzymes and bile support to absorb nutrients.
- Targeted supplementation (zinc carnosine, glutamine) to heal gut lining.
- Lifestyle upgrades: circadian rhythm, deep sleep, controlled breathing.
Later phases focus on repopulating the microbiome and recalibrating the immune system with botanicals and peptides when appropriate.
