If you don’t have any idea what a dysbiosis protocol is, or haven’t been prescribed a course of treatment by your MD or ND, count yourself lucky…

But if you’re one of the many people who find themselves struggling with the sometimes-elaborate supplement protocols and their side effects, such as nausea, diarrhea, body pain, or fatigue, this week’s video is for you.

Last week, someone reached out to me because they weren’t sure what to do. They were feeling icky, tired, and nauseous from a protocol their ND recommended. But the ND didn’t give them any follow up instructions.

They weren’t sure how to adjust things, or if adjusting the assigned protocol was ok.

For a lot of people, these cocktails of antimicrobial herbs cause side effects just like medications, and in fact, this is more the norm. 

Though the herbs and supporting supplements are important tools for restoring your gut health from unwelcome bugs, they need to be used properly so they don’t overwhelm your body.

Many people’s bodies aren’t quite prepared for these protocols, and they often need to be adjusted to account for this reality.

In this week’s video, I talk about:

  • The essential steps you should complete before beginning a dysbiosis protocol, no matter who has recommended it.
  • How to use the herbs and other supplements properly.
  • What to do if you run into side effects or a herxeimer reaction
