Sometimes the bravest medicine isn’t antimicrobial. It’s environmental.

If your gut won’t heal… look at your environment.
Not just your food.

Take a closer look at...
Your home.
Your workplace.
Your stress load.
Your relationships.
Your air.
Your water.
Your nervous system.

Because here’s the truth most people don’t want to hear:
Chronic gut dysfunction is often a terrain issue, not a food issue.

Mold exposure → immune activation → cytokine signaling → motility disruption → bloating + relapse.

Chronic relational stress → sympathetic dominance → vagal suppression → slowed digestion → SIBO recurrence.

Workplace burnout → cortisol dysregulation → altered microbiome resilience → inflammation.

You can take all the supplements in the world.

But if the environment stays inflammatory, the gut stays defensive.

This is why protocols fail.
This is why relapse happens.
This is why regulation > restriction.

-

Healing isn’t just what you eat...

It’s what you breathe.
What you tolerate.
What you live inside.

And sometimes the bravest medicine isn’t antimicrobial.
It’s environmental.

Remember, you can't heal in the same environment that made you sick. If going deeper feels aligned, I have a few strategy sessions still open this month. These are for complex cases that need perspective, not another blanket protocol.
