Week 9 · Reinoculation and repair

Deeper Gut Work

Refreshed from integration week, we return to the gut with the second half of the 4R framework — reinoculation with beneficial bacteria and repair of the gut lining.

1

Reinoculation done right

Probiotics aren't a one-size-fits-all supplement. This week you learn which strains support your specific picture, why diversity matters more than quantity, and how fermented foods can do much of this work for free.

2

Fermented foods introduction

If tolerated, we introduce small daily amounts of fermented foods: sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, or kombucha. Start small — a tablespoon — and build. The live cultures support a diverse, resilient microbiome.

3

L-glutamine and gut lining repair

L-glutamine is the primary fuel for your intestinal cells. A daily protocol supports the repair of a compromised gut lining. This is often where members with chronic bloating see their biggest shift.

Do these daily

Daily fermented food
1 tablespoon of sauerkraut or kimchi with one meal. Build gradually.
L-glutamine protocol
As directed by your practitioner — typically 3–5g in water before one meal.
