Leaky Gut Healing Protocol
BodyHealth Gut Health Protocol Optimizing Gut Health for Overall Well-Being
Gut health is the foundation of overall wellness. A properly functioning digestive system ensures efficient nutrient absorption, supports immune function, and neutralizes harmful microbes. However, when the gut is imbalanced, it can lead to symptoms like bloating, gas, and indigestion—or more severe conditions such as IBS. Additionally, a compromised gut can negatively affect energy levels, sleep quality, hormone balance, and mental health.
The BodyHealth Gut Health Protocol is designed to restore balance by:
✅ Eliminating harmful microbes
✅ Repairing the gut lining
✅ Optimizing the microbiome
Key Components of the Gut Health Protocol
1. Eliminating Harmful Microbes
Addressing gut dysbiosis by targeting pathogens that disrupt digestive health.
2. Restoring Gut Lining Integrity
Strengthening the intestinal barrier to prevent leaky gut syndrome and improve nutrient absorption.
3. Supporting Microbiome Balance
Encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria essential for digestion, neurotransmitter production, and immune function.
Gut Health Diet Guidelines
A gut-friendly diet is crucial to support microbial balance and healing. The protocol emphasizes a high-protein, low-carb, high-healthy-fat approach while eliminating inflammatory foods that fuel harmful microbes.
Foods to Include
🟢 Proteins: Grass-fed meats, fatty fish, and PERFECT AMINO™ to support tissue repair and immune function.
🟢 Healthy Fats: Olive oil, avocados, coconut oil, and Omega-3s to aid cell repair and microbial balance.
🟢 Vegetables: Cruciferous vegetables and leafy greens for fiber and digestive support.
🟢 Fruits: Low-glycemic options (e.g., apples) in moderation.
🟢 Nuts & Seeds: Raw almonds, flaxseeds, and sunflower seeds for added nutrition and fiber.
Foods to Avoid
🚫 Dairy (except butter)
🚫 Grains & Processed Foods
🚫 Sugar & Artificial Sweeteners
🚫 Nightshades (e.g., tomatoes, potatoes) to reduce inflammation
Hydration & Supplementation
Proper hydration is essential for digestion and detoxification, especially during the microbial die-off phase. Adequate water intake and electrolytes help flush toxins and maintain digestive function.
Essential Supplements for Gut Health
✅ Gut Restore – Combines ImmunoLin®, Humic Acid, and PERFECT AMINO™ to repair the gut lining, support microbial balance, and enhance nutrient absorption.
✅ Gut Defense – Breaks down biofilms that protect harmful microbes, aiding in their removal.
✅ Digestive Enzymes – Promotes efficient protein and fat digestion.
✅ Probiotics – Replenishes beneficial bacteria to support gut balance.
✅ PERFECT AMINO™ – Supplies essential amino acids to repair the intestinal lining and optimize microbiome function.
Step-by-Step Implementation
Phase 1 (Week 1)
🔹 Take Gut Restore (1-2 scoops) before bed.
🔹 Start Gut Defense once daily before lunch.
🔹 Gradually introduce Digestive Enzymes and Probiotics.
Phase 2 (Week 2)
🔹 Increase Gut Defense to twice daily (before lunch & dinner).
🔹 Continue with Gut Restore, Digestive Enzymes, and Probiotics.
Phase 3 (Week 3 & Beyond)
🔹 Increase Gut Defense to three times daily (before meals).
🔹 Maintain Gut Restore, PERFECT AMINO™, and other essential supplements.
Long-Term Gut Health Maintenance
For optimal results, follow the Gut Health Protocol for at least 30 days. Depending on the severity of gut imbalance, continued supplementation and dietary adjustments may be necessary for up to four months.
By committing to this protocol, healthcare providers can guide patients toward sustained digestive health, improved energy levels, and overall well-being.

The GI-MAP® (GI Microbial Assay Plus) is a comprehensive stool analysis test that uses quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect and measure the DNA of various pathogens and microbes, including bacteria, parasites, fungi, and H. pylori. This precise technology provides practitioners with accurate, quantifiable insights into gut health, enabling personalized treatment plans.
qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) provides highly accurate and reliable quantification of organisms, offering advantages over standard PCR and culture-based tests. This technology allows GI-MAP to measure the exact DNA levels of organisms present, which is critical for understanding the significance of pathogenic organisms and dysbiosis patterns in the gut.
GI-MAP is beneficial for patients experiencing symptoms like bloating, constipation, skin conditions, and digestive discomfort, as well as those with more serious conditions like autoimmune diseases, thyroid disorders, or IBS. Almost any individual interested in optimizing their gut health can benefit from this comprehensive assessment.
Yes, GI-MAP must be ordered through a licensed healthcare practitioner who can accurately interpret the results and develop a tailored treatment plan based on your unique needs. If you don’t currently have a practitioner, we can assist you in finding one.
Collecting a sample is easy and done at home. You will receive a kit with instructions and a specimen vial. You only need a single stool sample, which can be stored at room temperature in the provided vial before shipping.
Once your sample arrives at the lab, results are typically available within 1-2 weeks. Your practitioner will discuss the findings with you and guide you through the results and recommended next steps.
Yes, GI-MAP can provide valuable insights even for those without noticeable symptoms. As gut health is central to immune, metabolic, and neuroendocrine functions, GI-MAP can detect underlying issues that may influence long-term health, helping to optimize wellness proactively.
GI-MAP results can provide insights into conditions such as IBS, autoimmune disorders, skin conditions, thyroid issues, and parasitic infections. By identifying underlying gut imbalances, GI-MAP can aid in treating and managing chronic conditions.
With GI-MAP’s precise, quantitative data, practitioners can tailor personalized treatment protocols to address specific gut imbalances. Retesting also allows practitioners to measure treatment efficacy, ensuring optimal health outcomes over time.
