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
