The Wellness Repair Roadmap
Repairing wellness is never just one thing. What follows is a series of logically arranged steps. It’s a roadmap of best practices and diagnostics to help you untangle efficiently.
The diet and lifestyle foundation
The goal is to remove substances that are causing injury while fostering gentle detoxification. It’s necessary to ease into expelling things like chemicals, pathogenic critters and heavy metals. Your liver and hormonal balances need to be prepared to handle it. In the Four R Program, this is part of the Remove step.
Digestive Support
Some people experience bloating, reflux, vertical ridges on your fingernails, poor hair quality, dry skin, undigested food particulate in stool, stool looks grayer or stool floats. These are all symptoms of not digesting food optimally. Supplements can be taken to bolster digestion while your metabolism comes back online and takes over.
Hormone Testing
This is advised, depending on symptoms. The longer someone has been sick, the more likely they will want lab data to help fine tune the plan of action. If you have been sick for only a few weeks or months, it’s better to go after the low hanging fruit and run fewer labs.
Gut function / Gut infections
This is the beginning of more active detoxification and usually requires the previous steps to be in place first.
Detox / Methylation
Once good digestion is happening, you’re absorbing minerals and eliminating waste properly, the stage is set to get any nastier stuff out of the body. For this step, your liver needs to be ready for battle. That’s why it’s last.
