THE 4R APPROACH TO
HEALING YOUR GUT
N
o matter what your health issue is, functional
medicine’s 4R Approach is sure to help you and
your gut heal. I have witnessed dramatic rever-
sal of chronic and inflammatory illnesses in a very short
period of time by utilizing this simple approach.

1. Remove the bad. The goal is to get rid of things that

negatively affect the environment of the GI tract such
as inflammatory foods, infections, and gastric irritants
such alcohol, caffeine or drugs. Inflammatory foods
including gluten, dairy, corn, soy, eggs and sugar can
lead to food sensitivities. Infections can be from para-
sites, yeast or bacteria. Removing the infections may
require treatment with herbs, anti-parasite medica-
tion, anti-fungal medication, anti-fungal supplements
or even antibiotics.

2. Replace the good. Add back in the essential ingre-

dients for proper digestion and absorption that may
have been depleted by diet, drugs (such as ant-
acid medications), diseases or aging. This includes
digestive enzymes, hydrochloric acid and bile acids
that are required for proper digestion.

3. Reinoculate with beneficial bacteria to re-establish a

healthy balance of good bacteria. This may be accom-
plished by taking a probiotic supplement that contains
beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria and lacto-
bacillus species. I recommend anywhere from 25 -100
billion units a day.

4. Repair your gut by providing the nutrients necessary

to help the gut heal itself. One of my favorites sup-
plements is L-glutamine, an amino acid that helps
to rejuvenate the gut wall lining. Other key nutrients
include zinc, omega 3 fish oils, vitamin A, C, E as well
as herbs such as slippery elm and aloe vera which are
found in my Leaky Gut Revive®.

SUPPLEMENTS
FOR LEAKY GUT
Eating an anti-inflammatory diet will go a long way in healing your gut, however, I find that most of my patients heal
much faster with just a few targeted, gut-healing supplements.

L-Glutamine
L-Glutamine is an amino acid that is fundamental to the well-being of the digestive and
immune systems. Glutamine is great for repairing damage to the gut, helping the gut lining
to regrow and repair, undoing the damage caused by leaky gut, and reducing sugar cravings. I
recommend 3-5 grams a day.

Leaky Gut Revive®

This is my go-to supplement for anyone overcoming Leaky Gut, an autoimmune disease,
chronic illness, or any gut infection. Your gut cells have the ability to turn over and regenerate
every 48 hours if you have what they need to do so. By nourishing your gut cells, and avoid-
ing inflammatory triggers, you can quite literally "renew" your intestinal lining. As old cells
die and make way for new cells, we have the ability to provide these new cells with everything
they need so that they can function at optimum efficiency. Leaky Gut Revive® includes larch
arabinogalactan which acts as a prebiotic for beneficial bacteria in your gut! Probiotic bacteria
ferment the arabinogalactan and produce fatty acids, such as butyrate, in the process. These
fatty acids are incredibly beneficial to your gut and intestinal barrier! I also included a high
concentration of L-glutamine, an amino acid that helps repair your gut cells, as well as slip-
pery elm bark and marshmallow root to take the gut repairing factors and mucous membrane
support to the next level.

Collagen Protein
The Collagen Protein included in the upgrade is full of amino acids and peptides that help
maintain a healthy intestinal barrier and support healthy skin, bones, and joints. Sourced from
grass-fed, pasture-raised beef, and 100% non-GMO and kosher, it’s a great addition to your
gut-healing program.

SUPPLEMENTS
FOR LEAKY GUT
Add back in the essential ingredients for proper digestion and absorption that may have been depleted by diet, drugs,
diseases, or aging. This includes digestive enzymes, hydrochloric acid and beneficial bacteria that are required for
proper digestion.

Probiotic
Our gut is full of “good“ and friendly bacteria that help us properly break down and digest our
food. They help keep our gut in check and prevent “bad“ bacteria from overgrowth. Unfortu-
nately, these friendly bacteria can be depleted and distrupted by taking antibiotics, steroids,
acid-blocking medications, eating a poor diet, and many other factors. Taking a highly con-
centrated dose (25-100 billion units a day) of probiotics on a daily basis can help you regain a
healthy balance of bacteria in your gut.

Complete Enzymes
Complete enzymes are plant or microbial-based supplements that support the breakdown,
absorption, and utilization of macronutrients. Taken with meals, they work with the body’s
own reduced supply of enzymes to achieve maximum digestion and support intestinal repair
mechanisms.

HCL
Betaine hydrochloride (HCL) is your primary stomach acid. It helps you break down and digest
proteins, minerals, and other nutrients such as vitamin B12. There is simple at home test you
can do to see if you have low stomach acid and are in need of HCL replacement. Begin to eat
a meal and 1⁄3 of the way into your meal take 650 mg of HCL and then finish your meal. If you
experience heartburn, you have sufficient levels of HCL. If you do not experience any burning
sensation in your upper abdomen, then you likely would benefit from HCL at each meal.

Gut-Healing Chicken Bone Broth

MAKES: 16 CUPS

Ingredients Instructions
2 lbs organic or pasture-raised chicken drumsticks Step One: Add all ingredients to a slow cooker.
1 gallon filtered water Cook on low for 12-24 hours.
1 Tbsp sea salt Alternately, cook on high for 6-12 hours to speed
4 stalks celery, ends removed up the process.
2 carrots, ends removed To develop a delicious intense roasted chicken
3 scallions, ends removed flavor cook 24–48 hour.
2 Tbsp lemon juice or raw apple cider vinegar If water evaporates, add enough water to top off
the crock pot so it remains full.
Step Two: Strain out the meat and bones using a
slotted spoon. Place the drumstick meat into a
separate container and pull off of the bone for use
in other recipes. Discard bones.
Step Three: Store broth in the fridge for up to a
week. Use in recipes as needed or drink by itself. It
will “gel” once refrigerated for a few hours—this is
a good sign and indicates a high gelatin content.
