Bloating after every meal. Reflux, constipation, or running to the bathroom. Brain fog, anxiety, skin flares, and getting every cold that goes around. These are common, but they are not normal, and they often start in the same place: your gut.
About 70% of your immune system lives in your gut, and about 90% of your serotonin is made there. When your gut lining gets inflamed and "leaky," it doesn't only affect digestion. It affects your immune system, mood, hormones, skin, and even your brain. This guide explains why so many of us are walking around with sick, inflamed guts, and walks you through the step-by-step rebuild I use with my clients. It's written by an RN, herbalist, and root-cause coach.
Inside the 5-page guide:
Your gut runs more than digestion: the immune system, serotonin, blood flow, and the liver connection
The "Swiss cheese" gut: what leaky gut really is, how tight junctions and zonulin work, and what opens the gaps
Your second brain: how your gut talks to your brain, and the early research linking the gut to mood, brain fog, and Alzheimer's
Why so many guts are sick: emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, medications, and stress, and where they hide in your pantry
Signs your gut needs support: 12 symptoms you may not have connected to your gut
The 5R gut rebuild: Remove, Replace, Repopulate, Repair, and Rebalance, with a 12-week timeline
Real detox starts in the gut: why a daily bowel movement matters more than any cleanse
My two gut-rebuild favorites: GI Revive and my Livin 80.20 Gastric Blend cold infusion
Supplements with research behind them: L-glutamine, zinc carnosine, probiotics, collagen, DGL, and soothing herbs, with studied amounts and cautions
The gut rebuild plate and your 80/20 gut week: simple food and habit checklists
