Frequently Asked Questions
What is Leaky Gut and how does food heal it?
Leaky gut is when tight junctions in the intestinal wall loosen. Glutamine-rich foods, pectin, and polyphenols help rebuild the mucosal barrier.
How do prebiotics differ from probiotics?
Prebiotics (like chicory or banana fiber) act as food for your gut bacteria, while probiotics (like Kanji or curd) introduce active beneficial bacteria.
What causes Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration?
Intestinal epithelial barrier disruption (Leaky Gut) and dysbiosis, characterized by a loss of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) producing bacteria and mucosal lining depletion.
What meal-timing or circadian approach helps manage Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration?
Allow at least 4 hours between meals without snacking to activate the Migrating Motor Complex (MMC), which clears residual bacteria and prevents SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).
What clinical research supports this Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration protocol?
Intestinal Permeability and Clinical Diseases (PMID: 33803407) Dietary Regulation of Gut Microbiota (PMID: 28191884)
Why is Zonulin tracked for Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration?
Zonulin (Stool/Serum) is one of the key biomarkers used to monitor Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration and track whether the current protocol is working.
Does Ginger help with Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration?
Ginger is one of the therapeutic spices used as part of the Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration protocol.
Why should I avoid Artificial Sweeteners with Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration?
Artificial Sweeteners (disrupts microbiome) is one of the foods to avoid or limit while managing Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration.
Why is Calprotectin tracked for Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration?
Calprotectin (Inflammatory marker) is one of the key biomarkers used to monitor Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration and track whether the current protocol is working.
Does Garlic help with Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration?
Garlic is one of the therapeutic spices used as part of the Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration protocol.
Why should I avoid Emulsifiers & Preservatives with Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration?
Emulsifiers & Preservatives is one of the foods to avoid or limit while managing Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration.
Why is SCFA profile tracked for Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration?
SCFA profile (Acetate, Butyrate) is one of the key biomarkers used to monitor Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration and track whether the current protocol is working.
Does Holy Basil help with Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration?
Holy Basil is one of the therapeutic spices used as part of the Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration protocol.
Why should I avoid Refined Sugar with Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration?
Refined Sugar is one of the foods to avoid or limit while managing Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration.
Why is Gut Microbiome Sequencing Ratio tracked for Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration?
Gut Microbiome Sequencing Ratio (Bacteroidetes/Firmicutes) is one of the key biomarkers used to monitor Gut Health & Microbiome Restoration and track whether the current protocol is working.
