1. Give your gut a rest. Do a fodmap, low carb or carnivor diet. Or fast. 2.fix gut mobility. Meditation, relaxing, exercise, take vitamin b1, cdp choline, vitamin b5. Also sauna helps. 3. Improve digestive out put with apple cider vinegar or betaine hcl, or bile salts 4.if above didnt work, do an antimicrobial supplement. This is a individulized protocol depending on your bacteria overgrowth. 5. Colostrim, buyterate to heal If all didnt work you may have mold or thyroid issues.
@@Percules15 then you should seek a professional in the medical field. I suggest a functional or integrative medical doctor. I have thyroid issues, and can tell you from experience its super difficult to find the right practitioner.
I can, I’ve had SIBO for about 25 years. Ugh! I took Xifaxim once and it was like a miracle. It stayed away for 2-3 years, but came back. I have mobility issues from small fiber neuropathy, so I don’t know if it can be fixed.
@@seb5587 Small fiber peripheral neuropathy (SFN) is a type of peripheral neuropathy that occurs from damage to the small unmyelinated and myelinated peripheral nerve fibers. These fibers, categorized as C fibers and small Aδ fibers, are present in skin, peripheral nerves, and organs.[1] The role of these nerves is to innervate some skin sensations (somatic afferents) and help control autonomic function (autonomic fibers). Small fiber peripheral neuropathy is a type of peripheral neuropathy that occurs from damage to the small unmyelinated and myelinated peripheral nerve fibers. These fibers, categorized as C fibers and small Aδ fibers, are present in skin, peripheral nerves, and organs.[1] The role of these nerves is to innervate some skin sensations (somatic afferents) and help control autonomic function (autonomic fibers). It is estimated that 15-20 million people in the United States have some form of peripheral neuropathy.[2] Sudomotor dysfunction is one of the most common and earliest neurophysiological manifestations of small fiber neuropathies. Sudomotor function refers to the autonomic nervous system control of sweat gland activity in response to various environmental and individual factors. You sweat too much or not enough. This can be dangerous. In some instances, the small fibers of the autonomic nervous system can be affected, leading to urinary or bowel problems, episodes of rapid heartbeat (palpitations), dry eyes or mouth, or abnormal sweating. They can also experience a sharp drop in blood pressure upon standing (orthostatic hypotension), which can cause dizziness, blurred vision, or fainting. Small fiber neuropathy is considered a form of peripheral neuropathy because it affects the peripheral nervous system, which connects the brain and spinal cord to muscles and to cells that detect sensations such as touch, smell, and pain. Insensitivity to pain can be particularly problematic. One may be bleeding or have a skin injury without even knowing it. The above is from Wikipedia. Personally, I have gut motility problems which can be a cause of SIBO. I have been experiencing burning, shooting, and stabbing, along with numbness and tingling in my skin and extremities. Most people have large fiber neuropathy, like the neuropathy that you get from diabetes. SFN in my case is idiopathic, they don;t know what causes it. I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and that can be a cause. I also have times when my heart pounds and I have palpitations. The autonomic nerves that SFN attacks, control the systems in your body that are automatic, you don;t have to think about them for them to work; like breathing, bowel and bladder emptying, heart function, sweating, your organ function, and more. I’m sure this is more than you wanted to know, but you asked😁

Symptoms typically begin in the feet or hands but can start in other parts of the body. Some people initially experience a more generalized, whole-body pain. The pain is often described as stabbing or burning, or abnormal skin sensations such as tingling or itchiness. In some individuals, the pain is more severe during times of rest or at night. The signs and symptoms of small fiber neuropathy can occur at any point in life depending on the underlying cause. Individuals with small fiber neuropathy often cannot feel pain that is concentrated in a very small area, such as the prick of a pin. However, they have an increased sensitivity to pain in general (hyperalgesia) and experience pain from stimulation that typically does not cause pain (allodynia).

But I need to lose weight, too, so that’s why I’m trying it.
I usually don't comment on RUclips videos but this is by far the most helpful video on internet regarding gut health problems... I'm suffering from gut health issues since 2021
I can confirm that this is a well researched video. I had gut issues for years and the only thing that helped me was keto + intermittent fasting + betaine hydrochloride + digestive enzymes + apple cider vinegar. I started with keto and fasting gradually increasing the fasting window, until I got to the point of OMAD (22/2), which I did for a year. Then I carefully added the other stuff, one thing at a time. Yes, I lost a little more weight than I wanted, but my overall health drastically improved. My acne dissappeared too. Now, I've been experimenting with adding a little bit more carbs and so far so good. Please be aware that issues like this take time to figure out. The above journey took me almost 4 years. Not to mention the 10 years prior to the Keto/IF. I'm still learning. Good luck all! ✌️
@@satyakaamesh2634 Hey 👋 Because betaine hydrochloride is pretty hard to find in my location, I use Digestive Aid from Viridian. It also has amylase, ginger root, peppermint leaf, lipase, protease, amyloglucosidase. I'm not saying this is the best option, but it is the best I have locally.
In general there’s no need to stick to a diet that long btw. Most guts will calm down in anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks of strict diet and fasting before you can slowly start to introduce foods again. The steps you mentioned are good though
@@stebbey6006 Sadly this is incorrect. It can take much longer time on a FODMAP diet to have things calm down, sometimes they never will unless supplementation is used
@@kevindsouza7844 well fodmap is only part of the healing process. But you’re right the full healing process can take longer, depending on the severity. Some people heal within 2-3 weeks. For others it can take months. If you’re not healing within months you’re probably not using the right approach. I suggest starting at the base, checking for stomach acid levels wether you need betaine+pepsin or not. If those are fine look for gallbladder issues(cos gallbladder issues can also come from low stomach acid). Most SIBO and leaky gut issues are also caused from issues with stomach acid or gallbladder as there’s not enough acid to kill off bacteria. One thing that helps really really well with SIBO is ginger extract and artichoke extract to get the gallbladder running and flush out those excess bacteria.
This guy knows more than any doctor and specialists I’ve ever gone to for Crohn’s disease. I’ve had surgery and expensive toxic pharmaceutical treatments that didn’t help or made me worse. I did my own research over the last 5-10 years and what he said in the video about diet, fasting and meditation is what helped me most.
I have Chrons disease too, it's hell, what is your fasting regimen ? And how do you support it with meditation ? Do you still have dietary restrictions?

Best advice ive ever gotton. Was tired of going from doctor to doctor, only to be prescribed Pecid and later Pantrapazole. Was gas lit into thinking i had Gerd and that nothing was wrong with me. Again anf again was told to take fiber when i told them fiber messed me up. I told the Doctors that i only had relief when eating meats. They told me that meat was bad fir digestion and that i need fiber. I was stuck in a vicious cycle. Taking acid blockers when i didn't need them. All GI doctors are good for is ordering Endescopies. I swear many of them should hsve their licenses revoked. Thank God i stopped listening to their advice to "avoid looking online". Best decision of my life.
I was 2 years in China and after that I had the same your problems. I have been through the hell and doing lots of the things you said. I had to search so much. It took me 7 years to find all these Information from hundreds of different sources. It is just amazing that you could pack all in 13 min video. Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Very likely post-infectious anti-vinculin antibodies, especially if you have hydrogen gas upon lactulose nreath testing and more IBS-D-like symptoms rather than IBS-C
Elliot, I pray you are discipling 12 providers like yourself, training them up in all the knowledge and experience, pouring everything you know into them so they can in turn, do the same. There are SO many of us out here who need this expertise and are NOT getting it form allopathic physicians. THANK YOU for distilling this down into 13 minutes. Big hugs from the other side of the pond.
@@EONutritionhey man hows it going you're pretty intelligent when it comes to the human body... I've been really struggling.... A few months ago I coughed really hard it was a sharp pain and I think I damaged my esophagus/trachea....do you know how someone would go about healing damaged esophagus/ trachea?
This probably confirms my theory that my husband’s pelvic radiation therapy has caused damage to his vagus nerve causing bowel dysfunction as he previously had a well functioning gut. But when I suggest this, I am met with silence by the medics.
The medical system doesn't give a shit. As long as they get an insurance check that's all they care about. They don't actually have to cure anyone. Their toxic quackery has killed & maimed countless.
@@FirstnameLastname-pe5ib My girlfriend suffered from the side effects of gadolinium toxicity. Fortunately not as bad as some of the other horror stories people are experiencing. Hope you're doing well
I ordered those three supplements and i feel my tone coming back in my gut. Its been sluggish and shut down for a couple years after i caught covid. Thank you so much Elliott.
this video seriously changed my life. I have been suffering from SIBO for 15 years and this supplement combination has helped me. I am so grateful for the creator of this video and I hope this video gets to as many people as possible
They are common in functional medicine circles, but they focus on "killing" protocols first usually and are obsessed. My main priority is vagus nerve and autonomic nervous system function
Thank you for this. I've tried everything apart from, if I'm honest with myself, all of these measures at the same time, including fasting. Docs always advised against it because I'm tiny and it's so easy to comfort eat when you're chronically ill and miserable. It's also extremely difficult to follow any kind of regime when you're exhausted. But when you need change so badly, you have to put the work in.
I can add that exercising in the morning with warm water containing a little salt helps a lot. I use Himalayan. Water should be drinking little by little so that the muscles have time to absorb it. Here is the best way to calm the nervous system
I just started taking a tablespoon of Bob’s Red Mill potato starch mixed in food or water every evening. This converts into Butyrate and I have noticed less inflammation in my body, able to breathe and sleep better at night! It’s also improving my mood. Quite amazing considering how cheap it is, and I wish that I knew about it sooner.
The fasting it actually so real. I fasted for three days, 16 hours a day and I felt sooooo much better. I also changed my diet to a low FODMAP one. It makes a huge difference.
That's it man. Years of suffering and lots of research taught me the same. 3 pillars of a healthy gut are proper: motility, stomach acid and bile. Interesting stuff about the vitamins for vagus nerve support, gonna look into that. Keep it up!
Hi glad you are better, can I ask which bile acid you chose and when did you take it along with dose. Seems to be some Controversy on whether or not to take with meals. Wondering what worked for you.
@@lindapelle8738 im only learning these. All these are highly individual. I tried Gallmet, it has 100mg ox bile per capsule and it caused issues. But it has herbs as well(no one asked for those). The important is to take bile supplements with capsules that resist stomach acid. You don't want alkaline stuff in your stomach with meal. If you dont have bile supplement in proper capsule, then maybe it is better to take it before or after you eat, but to me this is far from optimal, it can be difficult to time properly.
Wow, especially the vagus nerve Connection to the gut was an Eye opener for me! Great Video, thank you for this Information. Please make a Video to Leaky gut next!
I agree with many of the comments. This is the one video I would mention/share regarding gut issues. I’m amazed how to the point (yet thorough) this is, considering the vastness of info available to us. WELL DONE !
14 hours fasting daily, vitamin d3, colostrum, tudca, b complex, magnisium bis glycinate these helped me a lot to fix my 80% of gut issues and in India we are lucky to have herbs which can significantly help in fixing sibo that are kutaj tree tablet and bael powder 😊
Hi Rahul, Iam also facing digestive issues from a long time😢 , Kindly tell what are all the Symptoms u have faced, and diet and supplements(brand and dosage per day) u followed to overcome this and how long it will take,Plz reply

This man can literally save you tons of suffering and time to cure your digestive problems than anyone else, my 2023 wasted in solving my own gut problem (IBS-C). First of all i suffered from constipation and i thought it's usual one, but it lasted for 3 months and i was totally fuc**d. I was so made that i'm doing everything and still having issues. I started researching a lot, came to know about these various gut issues, fixed my diet, added physical exercises, fasting and other stuff which actually helped, instead of fibre. Fibre initially caused more problem and probiotic like curd too (because i'm lactose intolerant and i had never heard this term)
@@patrickjuan6057 i don't use supplements bro, i'm from India, here we have ayurveda (natural way of treating a disease) right now i'm trying ayurvedic medicines with some lifestyle and dietary changes.
I have recently given up on the doctors. I had been prescribed omeprazole and naproxen for inflammation of my joints. This inflamed the underlying problem. Low stomach acid levels, apple cider vinegar helped loads. The indigestion and heartburn was made worse by antacids and omeprazole. This initial fix had helped me loads as I was suffering lactose intolerance and random allergies.
Thank you Elliot. This is exactly what I needed today and matches my body 100%. B1 and B5 even give me die off reactions, and sauna is very beneficial. Please, more content, and some practitioner training!
@@vanitagomes3794 irritability, fatigue, digestive issues and more... It's when the parasites/bacteria or whatever your trying to kill start dying off and you get those symptoms from that.
I will show this video to my clinical dietetic once I go through the steps I'm doing right now to try fixing Chronic Gastritis, because I want it to be fully healed if possible. I hope so it can be fully healed, I'm not talking about remission but real full heal.
My gastro and GP have dismissed me so many times. It’s hard to know where my gut issues come from when I am type one diabetic, have IBS, endometriosis, autoimmune urticaria, PMDD and gluten intolerance. I want to see a functional doctor because I’m so lose where to even start, but it’s thousands of dollars. I am 22 and look healthy, so just get dismissed by most doctors who won’t even refer me to a specialist. My last gastroenterologist was so stupid I ended up in the ICU for two days
Hi Elliot, I've developed and been diagnosed with IBS, which I've never previously had. The symptoms range from loose stool, to bloating, flatulence, abdominal discomfort and chronic hemorrhoids. These all came on about 3 years ago when Covid was first starting, and I developed a hermit lifestyle staying in. I drank about a liter of coffee a day and had a pretty consistent drinking habit. I also had the worst anxiety of my life and developed alopecia. Even though I learned to manage the anxiety and the alopecia eventually died down, the changes to my gut and digestion persist. I am usually in some form of discomfort every day despite eating a healthy diet of whole foods and exercising 3 times a week. I'm at a loss on what to do and at this point I just want to be normal again. There's so much information to navigate in this field and I have no idea where to start, as I don't even really know what's causing the IBS..
Almost exactly my predicament . One thing that really helped me is fulvic acid and zeolite by truestone. Trying to fix my gut left me with some issues that I assume was from histamine from the probiotics. So that made my stomach flare up and burn. So I bought licorice root and made a tea along with aloe Vera formula and got instant relief. Also tried eating a low histamine diet and soon to try some histamine free probiotics. I personally believe everyone started to get sick when covid happened because our water, food and air supply has been poisoned for years. Naturally we all accumulated heavy metals and toxins in our systems and then in 2020 they introduced 5g. So what happens when you microwave metal? That’s what’s happening to us. The heavy metals are fucking up our gut and creating an environment for parasites and inflammation. The fulvic acid and the zeolite bind and remove the toxins out the body. Helped me a lot but still figuring out certain gut flare ups.
same here but my colon backed up on me it has not really returned to normal .. it will bloat and i get conspitated. i was sitting every night at the computer and one night my stomach just starting swelling. i was afraid to go to the ER for fear of catching covid. so it stopped functioning for a day. and would just swell for almost year .
wow same issues from covid and antibiotics. u get pain immediate right to belly button. on alopecia, I tried only carnivore diet and digestive enzymes. helps if you can continue.
Day on day off fasting, Bad bacteria perishes in 24 hours good bacteria will remain for longer . Hope this helps. Room temp water or warm only not cold with a few grains of celtic sea salt. 14 days of this will see improvements.
Another benefit to pantothenic acid was it got rid of my acne. When I ran out of pantothenic acid I started getting a lot of acne around the mouth. when I started taking pantothenic acid again my acne completely disappeared.
Long COVID patient here... I have lots of issues, fatigue after eating certain foods, possibly SIBO, I became basically allergic to alcohol and wheat (but not urdinkel for example). Hope I will be able to fix my body because this isn't life.
I appreciate people who bring new knowledge to RUclips and actaully share what really works for them. Thank you very much, I’ve had this problem that every time I consume olive oil I get a serious migraine. Can that be related to gut bacteria? I feel like all my body is inflamed sometimes…
One of the first videos I've watched that actually gives proactive means to treat my SIBO. I've watched quite a few experts try to explain and an hour later my only take away is eat more fiber, I'm excited to try B1, B5 and Choline. Thank you for giving these options to try.
Fasting will allow the body to self heal. Fasting is the body's intergrated self cleansing and healing mechanism...😊 Fasting allows for cellular repair.
@@cleocatra9324 Impossible to say. What are you doing before the fasting? What do you do during fasting? What is your general health like? What is your regular diet. How about hydration. Not every lifestyle is ideal or suitable for fasting.
@Starchaser63 IF...Intermittent Fasting means having a small window of time each day for eating. For example, choose the six hour block that you will eat healthy food. Then water only for the other 18 hours. OMAD...One Meal A Day. Means what it says. Water only for the balance. This is powerful. Fasting...no food for a predetermined amount of day(s). 24 hours, 48 hours or more. This is super powerful. So many benefits!
@EONutrition I suffered chronically for the last 5 years. And the endless visits to my Natrapath, GP, the gut specialist and just to name a few. All were treating me for IBS and SIBO and never looked at the cause, and kept on suffering. Then finally I got diagnosed with gastroparesis. Somehow I was delighted that they finally found the cause, even though it’s the most debilitating disease to have. It causes endless symptoms and it’s a constant battle. 🙁 I am trying to manage it as naturally as possible. Thank you for a very informative video.
Oh my gosh! This works for my GERD! I have tried everything else like Betaine HCL, probiotics, prebiotics, every diet imaginable, and recently some oil of oregano. All of it was helpful, but not totally. Just after a few days of adding CDP Choline, thiamine and B5 it is all gone. I took the full dose for a day or two, then backed down on the B5 dose and thiamine dose and it is still working. I also add in a little bit of B complex, vitamin D and Elliot's recommended ThiAssist which has magnesium and other minerals. For the CDP choline, I am taking 2 capsules, which is a 600 mg dose.
No. Just took it all at once. I backed off of the B1 dose to between 1/4 to 1/2 of a 100 mg Thiamax capsule, 600 mg of choline, 500 mg of B5 and part a balanced b-complex supplement along with magnesium. I tried taking higher doses of B1 before and I am not sure, but I think it aggravated some muscle/tendon pain I was having, so I backed down on the dose. @@metalisasi
@@patrickjuan7072 I have BAM from ileitis due to crohn's, doing BPC-157, and am very conscious about my light environement (48th lattitude's autumn means I can't get much natural sunlight so it's mostly about limiting the damages). Got some histamine intolerance along the way but I've mostly dealt with that with DAO, copper biglycinate, and B complex (while still waiting for P5P to arrive). Other than that no more gut troubles, and I even have days where my health is near perfect. Of course this is very specific and not something I'd recommend to everybody. Add to that the taurine and glycine I take, as well as MSM although that one is mostly unrelated, and recently I've been giving methylene blue a shot, and while it seems to be helping I'm not sure how much of it is just due to its effects as a MAOI. And a few 3 days fasts here and there. Of course I could just take some fiber like psyllium husk to bind the bile acids, but that's just masking the problem, not fixing it.
SIBO can lead to leaky gut too due to the bacteria in there and gas causing the stretching of the lining and in return you get little holes that lead all that junk in the body. I had issues and saved my gut by taking a food allergy test and a gut test from Viome. I know exactly what my body wants and does not want. I refuse to guess anymore when it comes to my health. Seal and heal. Everyone’s different so it’s important to test to see what’s bothering us individually.
B1 thiamine was an absolute game changer for me. It got my MMC going (combined with taking ginger and artichoke extract in the morning). In a nice roundabout way it totally killed off my sugar cravings too! I don't even think about chocolate or sugary foods any more really.
This was such an indepth yet simple video! Thanks. I managed to solved my problems with carnivore for couple months then adding fasting and probiotic foods and then added whole foods with more healthy fats and lots of stocks.
I've been on this journey for decades due to mainstream medical quackery (was indirectly fed antibiotics in the womb, given to my mother while pregnant with me ... and then more toward the issues it caused me as a child ... then more as a young adult ... stronger and stronger antibiotics ... for years). Not to mention the foods they promote that make us so sick. So I've tried a lot of things, supplements and various ways of eating. Currently IF and carnivore and learning so much with that (like, uh, we do need some veggies and fruits ... the need for supplementing with electrolytes is a hint). One thing I'm learning is not to just ignore feeling not-quite-right after eating. Swedish bitters helps. As does sauerkraut and manuka honey. I used to take B5, but it seemed to cause hair loss (probably causing an imbalance with the other B's and/or already having a deficiency in those). So I heard one guru speak of B1 not long ago, and got a little bottle of it (and old brand, solgar). I think a took it a time or two, and then stopped (might have not felt great afterward). I'm wondering now if I should give it another try or toss it. I do take a good quality, "raw" b complex (GOL) and feel I do well on it.
Take the TTFD and benfotiamine versions of vit b1. It makes all the difference!!!!! Try high doses. I have taken 12 capsules of TTFD at a time occasionally and felt much better. Best wishes.
Speaking of antimicrobials ozone therapy was recommended to me for Long Covid. As a heads up for those in the comments, this is very antimicrobial. It does seem to help symptoms, but be careful of rectal ozone if you want to protect your microbiome.
Try fasting and apple cider vinegar before meals and try to sweat 💦 it’s going to help you remove toxines, remove sugar and all the food that are not good for you, sleep early and wake up early. Remove toxic people and stress as much as you can.
You can't afford not to and be endlessly sick either. Don't pay sticker price. Do your research and find affordable ways. For example I do carnivore for 4.50-5.50 a lb. And I eat a half lb a day. I look at the expiration dates then show up at the grocery store 1-2 days before expiration date. They tend to put half price stickers on everything which pushes eve price way down. Or I grab the tough cuts but add good grass fed butter to get enough fat. I literally eat for maybe 7 bucks a day. That's cheap and has done wonders for my health.
Thank you so much for your video. My whole life I have IBS and went to so many tests and everything and I kind of was okay with it but since a few weeks ins not only in my gut, I have a lot of pain in my stomach as well and I try to find every possible thing that could help me, so I will try out everything to be okay again
I became lactose intolerant and developed IBS after moving to Toronto in 2022. I have suffered from PCOD related haemorrhaging 3 times. And currently I am taking dchiro inositol and probiotics.
Thx for posting 🙏 I was speculating the same thing before I saw this; I think over activation of the sympathetic nervous system is really harmful long term. Wakeful rest seems to be very important. Slow breathing, panoramic vision, bodily awareness, yawning, etc. I've never thought of myself as "stressed", so I never seriously suspected "stress", but I don't think it's about "stress" as we understand it. A significant lack of parasympathetic activation seems to be harmful in and of itself even if there are no stakes - even if you're just in your bedroom. In other words, "stress" as a medical concern seems to be a lot more encompassing than we might think
Agreed! Especially with modern life, I think it’s common for people to disregard that they are stressed to the point that they are caught in a stress feed back loop that will only get worse with time unless it’s addressed. Most can agree that they have conventional stress like everybody else, but it’s knowing that you are caught in a more vicious cycle that matters most.
Great content been dealing with issues the past 4 years and man you hit the nail on the head I have figured quite a few of these through trial and error. If you have issues listen to this video this will get you in the right direction.
He was completely right. I had gut issues not sure if it was IBS or another. But once i decided to water fasting (48hrs) i did that because i wanted to both detox also lose some weight (mostly water weight i know) but actually after that my digestive system was getting better, my stool wasn’t extremely soft and watery like diarrhea as i used to have (because when i eat i had problem with digestion and i frequently needed a help from laxative, if i don’t use them i got constipation and it irritates me for a really long time). Now i understand my body better and I fast 48-72hr once a week. It’s getting a lot better
I'm a bit bewildered about the start of the video where you say the ketogenic addressed the symptoms. If it did exactly what you wanted, why would you come off it? It fixed the root cause of the problem, because when you came off it the symptoms returned. The logical solution would be to stay on the ketogenic diet. The goal isn't to eat as many foods as possible, but to eat a diet that improves your health/function the most 🤔🙏🏻
The goal WAS to be able to eat fruit and starch without getting terrible gas, bloating, and feeling ill. Keto diet just masked symptoms, because whenever I went back to eat those foods I would relapse in symptoms. That wasn't a sign of gut health, but symptom management Now I can eat the vast majority of foods with no problem at all. I don't, but I can
@@EONutrition I see what you are saying. Have you considered that perhaps fruit and starch were causing the issue? Given that sugar is a major playing in SIBO
@@carnivore-muscle I don't consider starch or fruit as a cause, per se. They are major triggers, yes. But eating those things in my younger years caused no identifiable symptoms. Only after I developed post-infectious IBS/SIBO did they evoke symptoms. Certain components of specific types of starch-containing vegetables or fruits might be an actual cause in some people (lectin, oxalate, etc). Although I am under the impression that its an over-simplistic analysis to blame the food. In someone with a "healthy" gut, they can generally tolerate those foods and the anti-nutrients/toxins contained within them. On the other hand, someone with SIBO gets obliterated by eating these foods. So... context is dependent! RE actual causes... I think man-made toxins, radiation, pesticides, erratic circadian rhythms, and other unnatural innovations are more likely the culprit. Food reactions are a symptom IMO. That said, excesses of lectins, or especially oxalate (such as in my case), certainly can and will trigger gut issues in at least some people
Vagas nerve support! The stomach & brain correlation. Parasympathetic & thyroid. Imbalances. It started with ACID REFLUX, not enough HCL . Then menopause. Next, I had a bad case of food poison and VERTIGO! My vagas/electrical nerves in my stomach, intestines, brain, arms, and sciatic were out off wack, causing aggravated nerve sensations like headaches, gas bloating, facial & ear hotness. You have to fix each individual initial problem. Get rid of EXTRA BACTERIAL in gut. Maybe increase bile production. Help increase HCL, I use lemon juice and ginger. For parasympathetic, I get head massages and body massages for relaxation. The gas production in your body also plays a big part in feeling better so try staying GAS ⛽️ FREE! 😊
Thank you Elliot for a very comprehensive video. I've been dealing with gut issues for many years and you've given me fresh alternatives to try. With regards to repairing the gut barrier, how long would you say to use the recommended supplements? Would fermented foods like Kimchi also help or replace those supplements after a certain period?
1. Give your gut a rest. Do a fodmap, low carb or carnivor diet. Or fast.
2.fix gut mobility. Meditation, relaxing, exercise, take vitamin b1, cdp choline, vitamin b5. Also sauna helps.
3. Improve digestive out put with apple cider vinegar or betaine hcl, or bile salts
4.if above didnt work, do an antimicrobial supplement. This is a individulized protocol depending on your bacteria overgrowth.
5. Colostrim, buyterate to heal
If all didnt work you may have mold or thyroid issues.
Thank you
So what if you have thyroid issues, what then?
@@Percules15 then you should seek a professional in the medical field. I suggest a functional or integrative medical doctor. I have thyroid issues, and can tell you from experience its super difficult to find the right practitioner.
@@sandyduncan6167 what's the point they just put you on an aip diet with supplements. I already did that
If you have APECED none of these things work.

Facts
You can't possibly understand how important this video is to people lost in the labyrinth of SIBO/gut health issues. Keep this man safe at all costs!
I can, I’ve had SIBO for about 25 years. Ugh! I took Xifaxim once and it was like a miracle. It stayed away for 2-3 years, but came back. I have mobility issues from small fiber neuropathy, so I don’t know if it can be fixed.
@@suew4609 what do you mean by "small fiber neuropathy"?
@@seb5587 Small fiber peripheral neuropathy (SFN) is a type of peripheral neuropathy that occurs from damage to the small unmyelinated and myelinated peripheral nerve fibers. These fibers, categorized as C fibers and small Aδ fibers, are present in skin, peripheral nerves, and organs.[1] The role of these nerves is to innervate some skin sensations (somatic afferents) and help control autonomic function (autonomic fibers).

These fibers, categorized as C fibers and small Aδ fibers, are present in skin, peripheral nerves, and organs.[1] The role of these nerves is to innervate some skin sensations (somatic afferents) and help control autonomic function (autonomic fibers). It is estimated that 15-20 million people in the United States have some form of peripheral neuropathy.[2]
Sudomotor dysfunction is one of the most common and earliest neurophysiological manifestations of small fiber neuropathies. Sudomotor function refers to the autonomic nervous system control of sweat gland activity in response to various environmental and individual factors. You sweat too much or not enough. This can be dangerous.
In some instances, the small fibers of the autonomic nervous system can be affected, leading to urinary or bowel problems, episodes of rapid heartbeat (palpitations), dry eyes or mouth, or abnormal sweating. They can also experience a sharp drop in blood pressure upon standing (orthostatic hypotension), which can cause dizziness, blurred vision, or fainting.
Small fiber neuropathy is considered a form of peripheral neuropathy because it affects the peripheral nervous system, which connects the brain and spinal cord to muscles and to cells that detect sensations such as touch, smell, and pain. Insensitivity to pain can be particularly problematic. One may be bleeding or have a skin injury without even knowing it. The above is from Wikipedia.
Personally, I have gut motility problems which can be a cause of SIBO. I have been experiencing burning, shooting, and stabbing, along with numbness and tingling in my skin and extremities. Most people have large fiber neuropathy, like the neuropathy that you get from diabetes. SFN in my case is idiopathic, they don;t know what causes it. I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and that can be a cause. I also have times when my heart pounds and I have palpitations. The autonomic nerves that SFN attacks, control the systems in your body that are automatic, you don;t have to think about them for them to work; like breathing, bowel and bladder emptying, heart function, sweating, your organ function, and more.
I’m sure this is more than you wanted to know, but you asked😁

Signs and symptoms
Small fiber neuropathy is a condition characterized by severe pain. Symptoms typically begin in the feet or hands but can start in other parts of the body. Some people initially experience a more generalized, whole-body pain. The pain is often described as stabbing or burning, or abnormal skin sensations such as tingling or itchiness. In some individuals, the pain is more severe during times of rest or at night. The signs and symptoms of small fiber neuropathy can occur at any point in life depending on the underlying cause.
Individuals with small fiber neuropathy often cannot feel pain that is concentrated in a very small area, such as the prick of a pin. However, they have an increased sensitivity to pain in general (hyperalgesia) and experience pain from stimulation that typically does not cause pain (allodynia). People affected with this condition may also have a reduced ability to differentiate between hot and cold.

Personally, it causes a lot of pain, and affects my heart rate, how I sweat or don’t sweat, and the motility in my stomach doesn’t work, right. Meaning food is in my stomach for way too long and then slowly moves into my colon. That’s why I don’t think this diet will necessarily help me. But I need to lose weight, too, so that’s why I’m trying it.

I usually don't comment on RUclips videos but this is by far the most helpful video on internet regarding gut health problems... I'm suffering from gut health issues since 2021
I can confirm that this is a well researched video. I had gut issues for years and the only thing that helped me was keto + intermittent fasting + betaine hydrochloride + digestive enzymes + apple cider vinegar. I started with keto and fasting gradually increasing the fasting window, until I got to the point of OMAD (22/2), which I did for a year. Then I carefully added the other stuff, one thing at a time. Yes, I lost a little more weight than I wanted, but my overall health drastically improved. My acne dissappeared too. Now, I've been experimenting with adding a little bit more carbs and so far so good.
Please be aware that issues like this take time to figure out. The above journey took me almost 4 years. Not to mention the 10 years prior to the Keto/IF.
I'm still learning.
Good luck all! ✌️
what enzyme and brand you use ? please
@@satyakaamesh2634 Hey 👋
Because betaine hydrochloride is pretty hard to find in my location, I use Digestive Aid from Viridian. It also has amylase, ginger root, peppermint leaf, lipase, protease, amyloglucosidase. I'm not saying this is the best option, but it is the best I have locally.
In general there’s no need to stick to a diet that long btw. Most guts will calm down in anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks of strict diet and fasting before you can slowly start to introduce foods again. The steps you mentioned are good though
@@stebbey6006 Sadly this is incorrect. It can take much longer time on a FODMAP diet to have things calm down, sometimes they never will unless supplementation is used
@@kevindsouza7844 well fodmap is only part of the healing process. But you’re right the full healing process can take longer, depending on the severity. Some people heal within 2-3 weeks. For others it can take months. If you’re not healing within months you’re probably not using the right approach. I suggest starting at the base, checking for stomach acid levels wether you need betaine+pepsin or not. If those are fine look for gallbladder issues(cos gallbladder issues can also come from low stomach acid). Most SIBO and leaky gut issues are also caused from issues with stomach acid or gallbladder as there’s not enough acid to kill off bacteria. One thing that helps really really well with SIBO is ginger extract and artichoke extract to get the gallbladder running and flush out those excess bacteria.
This guy knows more than any doctor and specialists I’ve ever gone to for Crohn’s disease. I’ve had surgery and expensive toxic pharmaceutical treatments that didn’t help or made me worse. I did my own research over the last 5-10 years and what he said in the video about diet, fasting and meditation is what helped me most.
I have Chrons disease too, it's hell, what is your fasting regimen ? And how do you support it with meditation ? Do you still have dietary restrictions?

Best advice ive ever gotton. Was tired of going from doctor to doctor, only to be prescribed Pecid and later Pantrapazole. Was gas lit into thinking i had Gerd and that nothing was wrong with me. Again anf again was told to take fiber when i told them fiber messed me up.
I told the Doctors that i only had relief when eating meats. They told me that meat was bad fir digestion and that i need fiber. I was stuck in a vicious cycle. Taking acid blockers when i didn't need them. All GI doctors are good for is ordering Endescopies. I swear many of them should hsve their licenses revoked. Thank God i stopped listening to their advice to "avoid looking online". Best decision of my life.
How are you doing now?

A few months ago I coughed really hard it was a sharp pain and I think I damaged my esophagus/trachea....do you know how someone would go about healing damaged esophagus/ trachea?
This probably confirms my theory that my husband’s pelvic radiation therapy has caused damage to his vagus nerve causing bowel dysfunction as he previously had a well functioning gut. But when I suggest this, I am met with silence by the medics.
For me, it was heavy metal toxicity. If he got mri's and godolinium contrast, there's a good chance he's heavy metal toxic.
Good thinking. It could have damaged the enteric nerves

They are common in functional medicine circles, but they focus on "killing" protocols first usually and are obsessed. My main priority is vagus nerve and autonomic nervous system function
I agree, it’s so helpful to have it all put together. So much info in such a short vid! Xx
Thank you for this. I've tried everything apart from, if I'm honest with myself, all of these measures at the same time, including fasting. Docs always advised against it because I'm tiny and it's so easy to comfort eat when you're chronically ill and miserable. It's also extremely difficult to follow any kind of regime when you're exhausted. But when you need change so badly, you have to put the work in.
I can add that exercising in the morning with warm water containing a little salt helps a lot. I use Himalayan. Water should be drinking little by little so that the muscles have time to absorb it. Here is the best way to calm the nervous system
I just started taking a tablespoon of Bob’s Red Mill potato starch mixed in food or water every evening. This converts into Butyrate and I have noticed less inflammation in my body, able to breathe and sleep better at night! It’s also improving my mood. Quite amazing considering how cheap it is, and I wish that I knew about it sooner.
I have a bag and didn't know what to use it for. I originally bought it as inulin for making reuteri yogurt. Thanks for the tip
The fasting it actually so real. I fasted for three days, 16 hours a day and I felt sooooo much better. I also changed my diet to a low FODMAP one. It makes a huge difference.
That's it man. Years of suffering and lots of research taught me the same. 3 pillars of a healthy gut are proper: motility, stomach acid and bile. Interesting stuff about the vitamins for vagus nerve support, gonna look into that. Keep it up!
Hi glad you are better, can I ask which bile acid you chose and when did you take it along with dose. Seems to be some Controversy on whether or not to take with meals. Wondering what worked for you.
@@lindapelle8738 im only learning these. All these are highly individual. I tried Gallmet, it has 100mg ox bile per capsule and it caused issues. But it has herbs as well(no one asked for those). The important is to take bile supplements with capsules that resist stomach acid. You don't want alkaline stuff in your stomach with meal. If you dont have bile supplement in proper capsule, then maybe it is better to take it before or after you eat, but to me this is far from optimal, it can be difficult to time properly.

Thank you so much for your informative and real advice. UK doctors have been so unhelpful for my Gilbert's syndrome and IBS issues
Hi Elliot,
I've developed and been diagnosed with IBS, which I've never previously had. The symptoms range from loose stool, to bloating, flatulence, abdominal discomfort and chronic hemorrhoids. These all came on about 3 years ago when Covid was first starting, and I developed a hermit lifestyle staying in. I drank about a liter of coffee a day and had a pretty consistent drinking habit. I also had the worst anxiety of my life and developed alopecia.
Even though I learned to manage the anxiety and the alopecia eventually died down, the changes to my gut and digestion persist. I am usually in some form of discomfort every day despite eating a healthy diet of whole foods and exercising 3 times a week. I'm at a loss on what to do and at this point I just want to be normal again.
There's so much information to navigate in this field and I have no idea where to start, as I don't even really know what's causing the IBS..
Almost exactly my predicament . One thing that really helped me is fulvic acid and zeolite by truestone. Trying to fix my gut left me with some issues that I assume was from histamine from the probiotics. So that made my stomach flare up and burn. So I bought licorice root and made a tea along with aloe Vera formula and got instant relief. Also tried eating a low histamine diet and soon to try some histamine free probiotics. I personally believe everyone started to get sick when covid happened because our water, food and air supply has been poisoned for years. Naturally we all accumulated heavy metals and toxins in our systems and then in 2020 they introduced 5g. So what happens when you microwave metal? That’s what’s happening to us. The heavy metals are fucking up our gut and creating an environment for parasites and inflammation. The fulvic acid and the zeolite bind and remove the toxins out the body. Helped me a lot but still figuring out certain gut flare ups.

Not every lifestyle is ideal or suitable for fasting.
@@cleocatra9324 when you say fast, what do you mean 🤔 how long do you fast and how often?
@Starchaser63 IF...Intermittent Fasting means having a small window of time each day for eating. For example, choose the six hour block that you will eat healthy food. Then water only for the other 18 hours.
OMAD...One Meal A Day.
Means what it says. Water only for the balance. This is powerful.
Fasting...no food for a predetermined amount of day(s).
24 hours, 48 hours or more.
This is super powerful.
So many benefits!
@EONutrition I suffered chronically for the last 5 years.
And the endless visits to my Natrapath, GP, the gut specialist and just to name a few.
All were treating me for IBS and SIBO and never looked at the cause, and kept on suffering.
Then finally I got diagnosed with gastroparesis. Somehow I was delighted that they finally found the cause, even though it’s the most debilitating disease to have. It causes endless symptoms and it’s a constant battle.

Have you tried high dose Thiamine?
Oh my gosh! This works for my GERD! I have tried everything else like Betaine HCL, probiotics, prebiotics, every diet imaginable, and recently some oil of oregano. All of it was helpful, but not totally. Just after a few days of adding CDP Choline, thiamine and B5 it is all gone. I took the full dose for a day or two, then backed down on the B5 dose and thiamine dose and it is still working. I also add in a little bit of B complex, vitamin D and Elliot's recommended ThiAssist which has magnesium and other minerals. For the CDP choline, I am taking 2 capsules, which is a 600 mg dose.
Did you divide the dose trough the day?
No. Just took it all at once. I backed off of the B1 dose to between 1/4 to 1/2 of a 100 mg Thiamax capsule, 600 mg of choline, 500 mg of B5 and part a balanced b-complex supplement along with magnesium. I tried taking higher doses of B1 before and I am not sure, but I think it aggravated some muscle/tendon pain I was having, so I backed down on the dose. @@metalisasi

Great video, very complete. Already tried all those things and more but yeah this should be what people try first before diving deeper.
What are your symptoms? Are you trying something else now?
@@patrickjuan7072 I have BAM from ileitis due to crohn's, doing BPC-157, and am very conscious about my light environement (48th lattitude's autumn means I can't get much natural sunlight so it's mostly about limiting the damages). Got some histamine intolerance along the way but I've mostly dealt with that with DAO, copper biglycinate, and B complex (while still waiting for P5P to arrive).
Other than that no more gut troubles, and I even have days where my health is near perfect. Of course this is very specific and not something I'd recommend to everybody.
Add to that the taurine and glycine I take, as well as MSM although that one is mostly unrelated, and recently I've been giving methylene blue a shot, and while it seems to be helping I'm not sure how much of it is just due to its effects as a MAOI. And a few 3 days fasts here and there.
Of course I could just take some fiber like psyllium husk to bind the bile acids, but that's just masking the problem, not fixing it.
Gem for SIBO sufferers 😍. Loved this video immensly. Thankyou for providing such valuable content. Looking forward for more videos like this❤
I fast for more than a day at a time. I’m fat adapted so that makes fasting easy. Like your video.
I love my Bon Charge sauna blanket! This is a brilliant video!
This video is amazing. Thank you so much for all of this information.
Glad it was helpful!
I can’t stop watching. It’s so informative.
SIBO can lead to leaky gut too due to the bacteria in there and gas causing the stretching of the lining and in return you get little holes that lead all that junk in the body. I had issues and saved my gut by taking a food allergy test and a gut test from Viome. I know exactly what my body wants and does not want. I refuse to guess anymore when it comes to my health. Seal and heal. Everyone’s different so it’s important to test to see what’s bothering us individually.
Excellent presentation Elliot. Thank you.
B1 thiamine was an absolute game changer for me. It got my MMC going (combined with taking ginger and artichoke extract in the morning). In a nice roundabout way it totally killed off my sugar cravings too! I don't even think about chocolate or sugary foods any more really.
how long did it take for u to notice a change?
How many miligram of Ginger and artichoke extract?
Ginger Tea & add to foods & Stirfry.
Ginger and Artichoke also killed my sugar cravings.
This was such an indepth yet simple video! Thanks. I managed to solved my problems with carnivore for couple months then adding fasting and probiotic foods and then added whole foods with more healthy fats and lots of stocks.
I've been on this journey for decades due to mainstream medical quackery (was indirectly fed antibiotics in the womb, given to my mother while pregnant with me ... and then more toward the issues it caused me as a child ... then more as a young adult ... stronger and stronger antibiotics ... for years). Not to mention the foods they promote that make us so sick. So I've tried a lot of things, supplements and various ways of eating. Currently IF and carnivore and learning so much with that (like, uh, we do need some veggies and fruits ... the need for supplementing with electrolytes is a hint). One thing I'm learning is not to just ignore feeling not-quite-right after eating. Swedish bitters helps. As does sauerkraut and manuka honey. I used to take B5, but it seemed to cause hair loss (probably causing an imbalance with the other B's and/or already having a deficiency in those). So I heard one guru speak of B1 not long ago, and got a little bottle of it (and old brand, solgar). I think a took it a time or two, and then stopped (might have not felt great afterward). I'm wondering now if I should give it another try or toss it. I do take a good quality, "raw" b complex (GOL) and feel I do well on it.
Take the TTFD and benfotiamine versions of vit b1. It makes all the difference!!!!! Try high doses. I have taken 12 capsules of TTFD at a time occasionally and felt much better. Best wishes.
Speaking of antimicrobials ozone therapy was recommended to me for Long Covid. As a heads up for those in the comments, this is very antimicrobial. It does seem to help symptoms, but be careful of rectal ozone if you want to protect your microbiome.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS THIS IS A LIFESAVER YOURE XHANGING LIVES
Thank you for this! So well done. Concise, clear and informative. I've been needing a video like this.
Beautifully put together video
Glad you liked it
Best health content on RUclips, one day I will reimburse you for all this great information!
I don't have money to buy all these supplements 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Same. The fresh food (meat) alone is costing me a small fortune.
Try fasting and apple cider vinegar before meals and try to sweat 💦 it’s going to help you remove toxines, remove sugar and all the food that are not good for you, sleep early and wake up early. Remove toxic people and stress as much as you can.
I'm spending less ... look into "strick carnivore" and you probably start saving money
Start small, buy one or two at a time. Always look for alternatives, and there are always alternatives.
You can't afford not to and be endlessly sick either. Don't pay sticker price. Do your research and find affordable ways. For example I do carnivore for 4.50-5.50 a lb. And I eat a half lb a day. I look at the expiration dates then show up at the grocery store 1-2 days before expiration date. They tend to put half price stickers on everything which pushes eve price way down. Or I grab the tough cuts but add good grass fed butter to get enough fat. I literally eat for maybe 7 bucks a day. That's cheap and has done wonders for my health.
Thank you so much for your video. My whole life I have IBS and went to so many tests and everything and I kind of was okay with it but since a few weeks ins not only in my gut, I have a lot of pain in my stomach as well and I try to find every possible thing that could help me, so I will try out everything to be okay again
I feel best when fasting for a few days ✨💖✨
Don't forget about garlic, and onions, two good spices and foods which are good for your gut.
For Probotic try Kefir 30 minute morning before and Plain yogurt 1 hour after meal 😊
I became lactose intolerant and developed IBS after moving to Toronto in 2022. I have suffered from PCOD related haemorrhaging 3 times. And currently I am taking dchiro inositol and probiotics.
Thank you, very informative.
Thx for posting 🙏
I was speculating the same thing before I saw this; I think over activation of the sympathetic nervous system is really harmful long term. Wakeful rest seems to be very important. Slow breathing, panoramic vision, bodily awareness, yawning, etc.
I've never thought of myself as "stressed", so I never seriously suspected "stress", but I don't think it's about "stress" as we understand it. A significant lack of parasympathetic activation seems to be harmful in and of itself even if there are no stakes - even if you're just in your bedroom. In other words, "stress" as a medical concern seems to be a lot more encompassing than we might think
Agreed! Especially with modern life, I think it’s common for people to disregard that they are stressed to the point that they are caught in a stress feed back loop that will only get worse with time unless it’s addressed. Most can agree that they have conventional stress like everybody else, but it’s knowing that you are caught in a more vicious cycle that matters most.
Great content been dealing with issues the past 4 years and man you hit the nail on the head I have figured quite a few of these through trial and error. If you have issues listen to this video this will get you in the right direction.
Absolutely great video - I'll be researching this further. Thanks!
I had sibo and h pylori it was hell on earth. It was the worst pain I’ve ever experienced
He was completely right. I had gut issues not sure if it was IBS or another. But once i decided to water fasting (48hrs) i did that because i wanted to both detox also lose some weight (mostly water weight i know) but actually after that my digestive system was getting better, my stool wasn’t extremely soft and watery like diarrhea as i used to have (because when i eat i had problem with digestion and i frequently needed a help from laxative, if i don’t use them i got constipation and it irritates me for a really long time). Now i understand my body better and I fast 48-72hr once a week. It’s getting a lot better
You know your stuff mate.
This dude is a freaking genius...
I'm a bit bewildered about the start of the video where you say the ketogenic addressed the symptoms. If it did exactly what you wanted, why would you come off it? It fixed the root cause of the problem, because when you came off it the symptoms returned. The logical solution would be to stay on the ketogenic diet. The goal isn't to eat as many foods as possible, but to eat a diet that improves your health/function the most 🤔🙏🏻
The goal WAS to be able to eat fruit and starch without getting terrible gas, bloating, and feeling ill.
Keto diet just masked symptoms, because whenever I went back to eat those foods I would relapse in symptoms. That wasn't a sign of gut health, but symptom management
Now I can eat the vast majority of foods with no problem at all. I don't, but I can
@@EONutrition I see what you are saying. Have you considered that perhaps fruit and starch were causing the issue? Given that sugar is a major playing in SIBO
@@carnivore-muscle sugar is just something some sibos react to. not the root cause either. not even one of the root causes honestly...
@@carnivore-muscle I don't consider starch or fruit as a cause, per se. They are major triggers, yes. But eating those things in my younger years caused no identifiable symptoms. Only after I developed post-infectious IBS/SIBO did they evoke symptoms.
Certain components of specific types of starch-containing vegetables or fruits might be an actual cause in some people (lectin, oxalate, etc). Although I am under the impression that its an over-simplistic analysis to blame the food.
In someone with a "healthy" gut, they can generally tolerate those foods and the anti-nutrients/toxins contained within them. On the other hand, someone with SIBO gets obliterated by eating these foods.
So... context is dependent!
RE actual causes... I think man-made toxins, radiation, pesticides, erratic circadian rhythms, and other unnatural innovations are more likely the culprit. Food reactions are a symptom IMO.
That said, excesses of lectins, or especially oxalate (such as in my case), certainly can and will trigger gut issues in at least some people
@@EONutrition fair! I appreciate your content. Keep up the great work 🙏🏻
You are a good man for posting this video.
Fantastic video.
Vagas nerve support! The stomach & brain correlation. Parasympathetic & thyroid. Imbalances. It started with ACID REFLUX, not enough HCL . Then menopause. Next, I had a bad case of food poison and VERTIGO! My vagas/electrical nerves in my stomach, intestines, brain, arms, and sciatic were out off wack, causing aggravated nerve sensations like headaches, gas bloating, facial & ear hotness. You have to fix each individual initial problem. Get rid of EXTRA BACTERIAL in gut. Maybe increase bile production. Help increase HCL, I use lemon juice and ginger. For parasympathetic, I get head massages and body massages for relaxation. The gas production in your body also plays a big part in feeling better so try staying GAS ⛽️ FREE! 😊
Thank you Elliot for a very comprehensive video. I've been dealing with gut issues for many years and you've given me fresh alternatives to try. With regards to repairing the gut barrier, how long would you say to use the recommended supplements? Would fermented foods like Kimchi also help or replace those supplements after a certain period?
Maybe 1 month
Thank you for the great step by step outline and examples of actual supplement brands and dosage!!!
