candida, gut-related brain fog and H.Pylori.
So, sit down, take notes and let’s begin.
Let's start by taking out all gut irritants and also providing certain nutrients and lifestyle factors that without these, no one’s gut can be healthy.

After all, how are we even going to heal something if we keep irritating it and not proving what it needs by default in order to operate at its best?
So we will begin with the list of foods and drinks that even though a healthy person can have every once in a while without

significant side effects and even some of them can be used as strategic healing tools under specific circumstances, a person whose gut health is compromised can not and he or she needs to take a break from them.
The most dangerous dietary irritants for a person with compromised gut health are:
-NSAIDs
-Coffee
-Any form of caffeinated teas
-Alcohol
-PUFAs (this includes pork and salmon)
-Phytoestrogens
-Gluten
-Tap water
-Legumes
-Nuts
-Seeds
-Food additives

-Most dairy
-Corn (all types)
-Nightshades
-Tap water
-Grains
-Raw vegetables (needs context)
1. Raw vegetable juices ONLY in between meals can help some people especially with SIBO but it’s still better to avoid them if you’re just starting to heal your gut.

2. Small amounts of raw garlic can help people who can’t use alternatives such as blackseed oil.

-Fruits that are high in oxalates and contain too many seeds (kiwis for example)

-No canned foods

Again, this does not mean that you can’t have any of these ever again or that some of them do not have a use.

The only thing it means is that for the vast majority of people with severe gut issues, a 2-4 month break from these can be beneficial.
So what can you eat and drink then?

From the get go we understand that a healthy gut will require quality animal products such as pastured raised egg yolks, bone in meat, shellfish such as oysters and quality organ meats every once in a while.
But since B vitamins are heat sensitive, you will
need to consume some of them (egg yolks and oysters for example) raw and you should never overcook your red meat.
Then, you will need vitamin K (both K1 and K2) and vitamin A.
These are important nutrients in order to stop the oxygenation of the gut environment and thus

pathogen overgrowth among other things.
Vitamin K2 is also a factor which influences stomach acid production,so the gut absolutely cannot be restored without enough vitamin K.

Vitamin K2 is also a factor which influences stomach acid production,so the gut absolutely cannot be restored without enough vitamin K.
BUT, do not include any vitamin K1 rich food except green apples and honeydew melons a couple of
times per week for the first few months and after the first 3-5 months start incorporating some asparagus cooked in animal fats.
Then, you will need a source of beta cryptoxanthin in order to saturate the mucosal layer of the intestinal system.
Then, you will need a source of beta cryptoxanthin in order to saturate the mucosal layer of the intestinal system.
So given that you are not afraid of normal dietary doses of retinol and consuming some type of quality organ meat even twice a month, foods such papayas, mangos, peaches and pumpkin will greatly improve the health of your gut.
Now here’s how i’d approach a clients' diet given what we just discussed.

For the first 1-2 months, first thing in the morning, i would make him try having 1-2 pasture raised egg yolks (yolks, not whites) in order to soothe any possible gut irritation, wait half an
hour and then we’d add some fruit and some good easily digestible animal protein such as 200 grams of sausage (sausages if prepared properly and are not normie ones filled with artificial sweeteners, heavy metal filled spices and so on are some of the most easily digestible foods
that you can find).
That’s a good breakfast in my opinion, which provides enough minerals and B vitamins.
Then in between meals i’d add some of the gut supportive tools that will be presented in a second.

That’s a good breakfast in my opinion, which provides enough minerals and B vitamins.
Then in between meals i’d add some of the gut supportive tools that will be presented in a second.
For lunch and dinner, they could usually choose from a variety of
animal products such as bone in beef, bone in game meat, white fish (if they could get some of decent quality), oysters, organs 1-2 times per week and some carb sources such as fruit, unheated honey (don’t start consuming regular honey and then blame me because your gut got
wrecked. I’ve never promoted pasteurized honey) or honey comb, add coconut oil, cold pressed red palm oil for vitamin E, cold pressed blackseed oil which is crucial for its unique antimicrobial properties (just do not consume 1 bottle of it per day) and some organic seaweed
once/2 weeks since iodine is crucial for antimicrobial peptides,.
Month 3
After a couple of months we’d incorporate things such as 1 serving of non hybridised grapefruit juice with no pulp/week (especially if their gut issues were estrogen related), 1 serving of squash or

After a couple of months we’d incorporate things such as 1 serving of non hybridised grapefruit juice with no pulp/week (especially if their gut issues were estrogen related), 1 serving of squash or
pumpkin/week and one serving of papayas or mangoes/week.
Month 4-5
If they did fine on month 3, on month 4 we’d add more K1 rich food sources such as asparagus cooked in tallow 1/week.
If they did not (very rare), then we’d wait 1 more month and add them on month 5.

We’d keep these foods only for 1-2 more months and on month 6, we start incorporating some raw dairy and bone broth/marrow 1-2 times per week.
We obviously do not pair too many foods at once though since the more foods you pair, the highest the digestion time will be.

So this plays a big part in the process as well and last but not least we never pair raw vegetables with meat.
Now the most dangerous lifestyle factors for a person with compromised gut health that you need to be aware are:
-Sedentary lifestyle
-Eating until you’re grossly full

-Lack of sunlight
-Fragrances
-Cleaning products such as chlorine
-Air pollution (you can use devices or snake plants in your house)
-Eating all the time (this does not mean fast all day)
-Stress
-Training at a fasted state

And some tools that you can use in order to improve your digestion are:
-Wim hof breathing
-Magnesium
-Mastic
-Ginger tea
-Glycine
-L glutamine on empty stomach
-Chamomile tea
-Coconut water straight from the coconut
-Lactoferrin (after the first 2-3 months)

Nothing fancy but again a strategy that if you implement, you will find out very soon how good it works.
