Most people only start thinking about their gut when something goes wrong. Maybe it’s the bloating after lunch that seems to get worse every year, or the random stomach pain that no scan or test can explain. You go from one specialist to another, one diet to another, one supplement to another, and still, you don’t feel quite right.
Most of what you’ve been told about gut health is confusing. You hear about probiotics, detoxes, elimination diets, or liver cleanses, but no one explains how the system actually works together. The gut isn’t just one organ. It’s a sequence, a rhythm, that moves like a wave from your brain to your colon. When one part falls out of time, the whole pattern goes out of sync.
This guide is about bringing it back into rhythm. You’ll learn how to figure out where things are going wrong, why it’s happening, and what to do to fix it.
The Gut Is a Rhythm
Digestion is a journey that food takes through your body. Here’s the rhythm:
Your brain and nervous system start the signal. They tell your stomach to get ready. Your stomach acid then fires up, breaking down food and killing off bugs that shouldn’t travel further down. Next, the gallbladder releases bile, and the pancreas adds enzymes to break down fats and proteins. The small intestine absorbs the nutrients. And finally, your colon draws out the water, houses your microbes, and finishes the job.
It’s one long sequence that depends on timing. When one part gets stuck or fires out of order, everything after it starts to struggle. That’s why gut symptoms can look so different from person to person. For one person it’s bloating, for another it’s reflux, for another it’s diarrhoea, and for someone else it’s just fatigue or brain fog.
In Step 1 | Begin Here, you’ll learn how to read that rhythm for yourself. You’ll learn to notice when symptoms happen, not just what symptoms happen. Because timing is the clue. From there, we’ll walk through each layer of the Heal Your Gut Reset:
Start with the nervous system | Calm the body first. If you’re eating in fight-or-flight mode, nothing else you do will hold.
Then support stomach acid | Once your body is calmer, help it rebuild that first digestive spark.
Next, tune your bile and enzymes | Get bile flow and enzymes right so food digests cleanly and waste doesn’t linger.
Then steady and rebalance your colon | Restore the colon lining and bring the microbiome back into balance.
Give Each Stage Time
Each step builds on the one before it, and your body needs time to find its new rhythm. Don’t move on just because a month has passed or because you’re eager to fix everything at once. Stay with each phase until your gut feels like it’s found a steady pattern (even if it’s not perfect yet). You might notice things have plateaued for a week, or that your digestion feels predictable. That’s the signal you’re ready for the next step.
Remember though, not every person needs every step. Start at the top and move down through the sequence, one layer at a time. Each step builds on the last, but your body will tell you how far it needs to go. If, after a phase, your gut finds a new steady rhythm and feels genuinely well, you don’t have to keep pushing, instead, skip ahead to Step 7 | Build a Lasting Gut Rhythm.
If you start improving and then symptoms shift or move, say bloating fades but stools change, that’s actually a good sign. It means your gut is reorganising. Give yourself time. You may need to circle back to a previous step and spend a little more time as the system recalibrates.
When You’ve Reached Balance
You’ll know because:
Meals feel easy again.
You can eat more variety without flaring.
You wake up steady, not nauseous.
You don’t need to think about your gut much anymore.
