We’re bringing it back to the gut!
If you’ve ever started a gut protocol and thought, “Why do I feel worse?” or “Why did this work… and then completely fall apart?” this episode is for you. Erin is sharing what a gut protocol is, why going straight into antimicrobial “kill” mode can backfire, and how ignoring the body’s internal environment can lead to flare-ups and stalled healing.
You’ll also learn Erin’s five step B.L.A.S.T framework to make your gut protocol results stick: think Bowels, Liver, Adrenals, Secretory IgA, and Trauma.
Your nervous system has EVERYTHING to do with gut results, and a more supportive, whole-body approach helps the body do what it already knows how to do: heal.
In this episode:
- Why jumping straight into antimicrobials is a red flag and can overload your system
- What Erin’s sudden wine reactions, hives, and crushing headaches reveal about histamine and gut imbalance
- How constipation and sluggish detox pathways can turn a healing protocol into nonstop reactions and flare-ups
- Why chronic stress hormones sabotage gut immunity, digestion, and your ability to clear infections
- How unresolved trauma and a dysregulated nervous system can keep the body stuck in survival mode
