High intensity exercise

Overly intense exercise (high intensity interval training/HIIT-style workouts) and chronic cardiovascular exercise (30-60+ minutes at a steady state of intensity like jogging or biking) as it can provoke a stress-response in the body.

nutritional supplements & herbs to consider

These recommendations are made as a starting point. Do your own research and determine which supplements may serve you best. It’s best to get as many of your nutrients from food as possible.

VITAMIN A (retinol) improves immunity when balanced with vitamin D and helps to maintain the integrity of the mucosal lining of the gut and immunity; necessary for assimilation of dietary minerals.

FERMENTED COD LIVER OIL/BUTTER OIL BLEND for fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K2 as well as some omega 3 fats. I only recommend Green Pasture brand.

COENZYME 10 (CO-Q10, Ubiquinone) enhances mitochondrial energy production and can help to alleviate fatigue and muscle/joint pain. It is a potent antioxidant, which statin drugs are known to deplete.

DIGESTIVE ENZYMES help to break down food for absorption while your gut is healing. Look for a blend of enzymes.

L-GLUTAMINE aids in the healing of the epithelial cells that line the small intestine.

HERBAL TEAS that are calming to your digestive system include peppermint, ginger, kudzu, marshmallow root, and slippery elm.

LICORICE ROOT is an herb that aids in repairing the mucosal lining of the gut, as well as the stomach. Look for licorice root tea, an extract of the herb, or a chewable tablet called DGL.

ALOE VERA JUICE (unless it promotes loose stool).

MAGNESIUM is required for more than 300 enzymatic processes in the body, and most people are deficient. It is useful in blood sugar regulation. Look for magnesium glycinate or magnesium malate forms.

PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE enhances the integrity of the GI tract and aids in fatty acid digestion, as well as repairs the mucosal lining of the gut. This supplement is especially important when avoiding eggs.

PROBIOTIC SUPPLEMENTS for better digestion. Try different brands to find one that works best for you. Start slowly with small dosages. Note that brands available via professional practitioners are often more potent than commercial brands.

QUERCITIN is a potent antioxidant that promotes better immunity.

SELENIUM & ZINC are antioxidants that protect against free radical damage and may need to be supplemented as it’s difficult to obtain adequate amounts from food.

ZINC CARNOSINE may improve gut mucosa and gut lining integrity.
