The Five R’s of Gut Healing

When attempting to heal a leaky gut, it’s best to go about things in a systematic way. By using a strategic protocol, you can ensure you cover all the bases on your way to good gut health. Functional medicine breaks the process down into the “five R’s of gut healing.” First, you remove foods that cause inflammation to the gut lining. Next you systematically add back foods and supplements to replace digestive enzymes, reinoculate your gut with beneficial bacteria, and repair the damage with healing foods. Then you can rebalance your system with relaxing lifestyle changes.
