If you’ve tried elimination diets, supplements, cleanses, and even worked with practitioners — yet you’re still bloated, reactive, constipated, or exhausted — this episode explains why.
In this deep-dive episode of the Nutrient Dense Podcast, I walk through the most common reasons gut healing stalls, even when you feel like you’re “doing everything right.” From poor detox capacity and low gut-immune function to missing root causes, incomplete testing, incorrect protocol order, and nervous system dysregulation, I break down what actually needs to be in place for true, lasting healing.
This episode covers why symptom-chasing doesn’t work, why seven-day cleanses fail, how chronic depletion and over-restriction keep the body stuck, and why healing requires nourishment, safety, consistency, and the right strategy — not more willpower.
If you feel discouraged, confused, or stuck in a cycle of trying everything to heal your gut with no results, this episode will help you finally connect the dots and understand what your body has been asking for all along.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE:
- Gut healing fails when detox pathways, digestion, and elimination aren’t properly supported first
- Killing bacteria or fungi without adequate liver, bile, bowel, and immune support can worsen symptoms
- Endotoxins released during gut protocols can increase inflammation
- Chronic gut issues lead to nutrient depletion due to poor absorption and long-term restriction
- Symptoms like bloating, reflux, histamine reactions, and food sensitivities are signals, not root causes
- Eliminating foods may reduce symptoms temporarily but does not resolve underlying dysfunction
- Proper testing is essential to identify bacterial overgrowth, fungal issues, infections, toxins, and immune status
- Generic protocols, cleanses, and short-term interventions often miss the mark
- Gut healing requires the correct order of operations, customization, and adequate time
- Nervous system dysregulation can stall healing by keeping the body out of repair mode
- Healing is about building safety, resilience, and trust — not eliminating stress completely
