1. Remove the Irritants
- Common culprits: refined sugar, dairy, gluten, excess alcohol, ultra‑processed seed oils.
- Removing triggers and practicing a modified elimination diet that is individualized to you; research shows symptom scores drop by 50 % within a month.
- Further testing like the Food Sensitivity Test can point to foods that you are reacting to and should be reduced or removed.
2. Repair the Lining
- Evidence based supplements like L‑glutamine and zinc‑carnosine have been shown to tighten intestinal junctions.
- Bone broth’s collagen peptides soothe inflamed mucosa (grandma was right!).
- Healing foods, stress management and overall health also play a role in the gut microbiome and its ability to heal properly.

3. Reinoculate Wisely
- Choose multi‑strain probiotics (≥10 billion CFU) with Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species—double‑blinded trials link them to reduced IBS pain and anxiety levels.
- Feed the new bugs with prebiotic fibres: chicory root, green banana flour, and cooked‑then‑cooled jasmine rice (hello, resistant starch).
4. Rebalance Lifestyle
- Aim for 7 – 8 hours of sleep; one sleepless night slashes gut diversity by 30 %.
- Sweat daily—exercise increases Akkermansia muciniphila, the “lean” bacteria.
- Manage stress through time managing, removing stressors, and incorporating cortisol managing supplements.
5. Re‑test, don’t guess
Comprehensive stool testing tracks progress and guides tweaks. Bloodwork can also help to guide naturopathic doctors on what is missing or imbalanced for patients.

Frequently Asked Questions
The fastest way to heal your gut is by removing trigger foods like sugar, gluten, and processed oils, while adding gut-repairing nutrients such as L-glutamine, bone broth, and probiotics. Working with a naturopath ensures a personalized approach.
Common signs of leaky gut include bloating, fatigue, food sensitivities, skin issues, and brain fog. A naturopathic doctor may recommend stool tests or food sensitivity testing for confirmation.
Yes, naturopaths use evidence-based nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle strategies to target the root causes of bloating, poor digestion, and gut imbalance.
Top supplements include L-glutamine, zinc carnosine, collagen, and digestive enzymes. These help strengthen intestinal walls, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
Yes, multi-strain probiotics (with Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium) can reduce symptoms of IBS, improve immunity, and restore microbial balance when used consistently.
Healing foods include bone broth, fermented vegetables, chia seeds, green bananas, and cooked-and-cooled rice. These support gut lining repair and feed good bacteria.
Chronic stress disrupts gut bacteria, increases intestinal permeability, and lowers immune function. Mindfulness, sleep, and adaptogenic herbs can help manage this.
While there is no one-size-fits-all cure, a naturopathic protocol using diet changes, targeted supplements, and stress reduction can effectively heal the gut over time.
Gut healing can take 4–12 weeks depending on the individual, severity of symptoms, and adherence to the protocol. Regular testing helps track progress.
