Understanding Gut Health: Healing from the Inside Out with Our Personally Designed Programs
Maintaining optimal gut health is foundational to your overall wellness. Your digestive system does more than process food—it supports immune function, hormone balance, nutrient absorption, and even brain health. At Elite Sports and Spine Chiropractic, we’ve partnered with Blueprint Nutrition to create a comprehensive, customized gut health program that targets the root causes of digestive dysfunction—especially conditions like leaky gut syndrome.
What Is Leaky Gut?
Leaky gut, or increased intestinal permeability, occurs when the lining of the small intestine becomes compromised. This allows toxins, undigested food particles, and harmful microbes to escape into the bloodstream—triggering widespread inflammation and immune system responses.
The result? A wide range of frustrating and seemingly unrelated symptoms, many of which originate from poor gut health.
Common Symptoms of Leaky Gut
If you’ve been dealing with nagging health issues that don’t seem to have a clear cause, your gut health may be the missing piece. Common symptoms of leaky gut include:
-
Chronic bloating, gas, constipation, or diarrhea
-
Nutrient deficiencies
-
Persistent fatigue
-
Brain fog or difficulty focusing
-
Skin problems like acne, eczema, or rashes
-
Joint pain or stiffness
-
Food sensitivities
-
Headaches or migraines
-
Immune dysfunction or frequent illness
These symptoms can often be traced back to underlying inflammation and compromised gut barrier function.
What Causes Poor Gut Health?
Several lifestyle factors can damage your gut lining and disrupt the balance of your microbiome:
-
High-sugar, low-fiber diets
-
Overuse of antibiotics or NSAIDs
-
Chronic stress
-
Alcohol consumption
-
Environmental toxins
-
Hidden food sensitivities
When these factors stack up, they weaken your intestinal lining and allow bad bacteria to flourish—fueling a vicious cycle of inflammation and poor gut health.
Our 3-Phase Gut Health Program
At Elite Sports and Spine Chiropractic, our gut health program—built in collaboration with Blueprint Nutrition—is designed to repair the gut lining, detoxify the body, and restore a balanced microbiome. Our approach is divided into three strategic phases:
🔶 Phase 1: Heal & Seal
This first step focuses on repairing the damaged gut lining and eliminating pathogens like Candida and harmful bacteria.
-
Nutrient-dense shakes (Bone Broth Protein or No Grain Vegan option)
-
Herbal and amino acid therapy to strengthen GI mucosal cells
-
Antimicrobial support to combat gut infections
🔷 Phase 2: Clear
We help your body eliminate the toxic buildup that contributes to poor gut health.
-
Lifestyle and diet detox strategies
-
Stress reduction protocols
-
Antioxidants, minerals, and immune support nutrients
This phase is critical to ensure that toxins are flushed out rather than recirculated into the bloodstream.
🔶 Phase 3: Rebuild
Finally, we work to restore healthy bacteria and long-term gut resilience.
-
Probiotics to rebuild gut flora
-
Enzyme and pH support for improved digestion
-
Immune system modulation to reduce inflammation and food sensitivities
By the end of this phase, most patients experience clearer skin, more energy, less bloating, and better mood and focus.
