How I have been healing my gut 🤍 (This is a functional health journey and I’m only on week 5.) I stopped guessing and started working with a functional health doctor. I’m only 5 weeks into this healing journey, and the results are already insane which honestly blows my mind. Here’s what’s been helping me: 1️⃣ Functional lab testing first No more guessing. Labs showed bacterial overgrowth, leaky gut, and gluten intolerance which finally explained my symptoms. 2️⃣ A real gut-healing protocol Antimicrobials, digestive enzymes, and gut barrier support Focus on mucosal healing + bacterial balance, Step-by-step repair, not symptom masking 3️⃣ Diet changes that mattered Gluten-free, no seed oils, no alcohol, no dairy, no refunded sugar. Removing major gut triggers helped reduce bloating, fatigue, and skin flare-ups. 4️⃣ Stress reduction was non-negotiable My cortisol was high, so I focused on: • Nervous system regulation • Boundaries • Walking, Pilates, and strength training 5️⃣ Fueling instead of under-eating I rebuilt my metabolism with proper fuel and balanced macros. Healing isn’t linear, but when you support your body the right way, it responds 🤍 ⚠️ Disclaimer: This is my personal experience and not medical advice. Everyone’s body is different.
