Gut Health Protocol

Meaning

A Gut Health Protocol is a structured, multi-step clinical plan designed to assess, restore, and maintain the optimal function of the gastrointestinal tract and its associated microbial ecosystem, the gut microbiome. This protocol is particularly vital in hormonal health due to the established bidirectional communication of the gut-hormone axis, which influences systemic inflammation, nutrient absorption, and hormone metabolism. The protocol typically progresses through phases of removing irritants, repairing the mucosal barrier, reinoculating beneficial flora, and providing supportive nutrients. Successful implementation leads to enhanced digestive comfort and improved endocrine signaling.
