1) Calm the gut lining so hormones can land

What’s going on (plain language): The intestinal lining is one cell thick. Irritation lets bacterial fragments slip into circulation and keeps the immune system on a low, constant alarm. That blunts receptors for thyroid hormones, insulin, estrogen, and testosterone. Calm the lining, and those same hormone levels start to work.

What I reach for first (focused repair block):

  • GI Complete — base “repair powder” to soothe and feed the lining while irritants come out.

  • IgG (serum-derived immunoglobulins) — binds unwanted antigens and quiets the terrain so receptors start listening again.

  • Digestive Enzymes Pro — reduces meal-by-meal friction while the lining heals.

  • If irritation is fragmenting sleep, Sleep Time one hour before bed to make nights quiet while we fix the cause.

Typical wins (1–2 weeks): fewer 2–3 a.m. wake-ups, less bloat, calmer appetite.

2) Feed your microbes → short-chain fatty acids → steadier signals

Mechanism: Fiber diversity → short-chain fatty acids → steadier blood sugar and mood, lower inflammation, tighter daily metabolic rhythm.

How I do it: bring back fiber gently from real food; if you’re sensitive, keep Digestive Enzymes Pro while tolerance rebuilds.

3) Bile flow is a hormone message (not just “fat digestion”)

Mechanism: Bile acids talk to receptors that shape appetite, glucose, and inflammation. Sluggish bile = sticky metabolism and louder cravings.

What I layer: bitter foods with protein, daily walking, hydration, and Super Omega 3D for systemic calm while transit and flow improve.

4) Satiety chemistry comes from the gut (and timing matters)

Mechanism: Protein + fiber trigger satiety signals that slow the stomach, smooth blood sugar, and tell the brain “enough.” If meals are mistimed—or the gut is inflamed—that signal is weak.

What I use: a protein-forward first meal within 2–3 hours of waking, 10-minute walks after meals, and when appetite and glucose are still chaotic, NutraGlutide (chromium chelate, berberine, cinnamon water extract, Capsimax capsicum extract, L-theanine, Sensoril ashwagandha, Sirtmax).

5) Thyroid activation depends on a quiet gut (and the right nutrients)

Mechanism: Gut-driven inflammation lowers conversion of thyroxine to triiodothyronine and scrambles gut-brain vagal signaling—so you feel “tired and wired,” cold-handed, and slow-boweled.

What I add when those signs persist:

  • Thyro Complete (iodine from kelp, zinc, selenium, copper, L-tyrosine, Sensoril ashwagandha, ForsLean coleus) to support conversion and receptor integrity while we keep the gut quiet.

  • ADK5 PRO (vitamin A, vitamin D3, vitamin K2 with magnesium) to round out fat-soluble support that affects immune tone and tissue sensitivity.

  • Super Omega 3D stays in the stack when inflammation’s part of the picture.

6) Foundations that make everything easier

  • Mag Complete 300 in the evening for sleep depth, insulin sensitivity, and muscle relaxation.

  • Women’s Complete or Men’s Complete as your bioavailable daily base.

  • In select cases only, DHEA 25 with monitoring.

Where peptides fit (responsibly, after foundations)

Peptides are tools, not shortcuts. They work best after the lining is calmer, sleep is anchored, protein is in place, and you’re walking and lifting.

  • Lining + inflammatory quiet: BPC-157 or KPV in focused blocks to support mucosa and tissue.

  • Metabolic push when appetite is chaotic: AOD9604; MOTS-C with AICAR when I want a mitochondrial nudge for energy and endurance.

  • Recovery, sleep architecture, and body composition: CJC-1295 with Ipamorelin or Sermorelin to gently lift growth-hormone signaling.

  • Aesthetics/tissue quality (adjacent): GHK-Copper topical; blends like Glow or KLOW when indicated.

None of these are magic. When foundations are right, peptides feel like wind at your back. When foundations are wrong, peptides feel like pushing a rope.

The 7-Day Gut → Hormone Reset (doable, high-yield)

Day 1: Pull obvious irritants (alcohol, ultra-processed snacks, fried foods). Start GI Complete + IgG (per label). Hydrate and add electrolytes.
Day 2: Protein-forward first meal (30–40 g) and fiber each meal. Use Digestive Enzymes Pro with your two biggest meals.
Day 3: Walk 10 minutes after lunch and dinner.
Day 4: If nights are choppy, Sleep Time one hour before bed; dim overhead lights; cool, dark room.
Day 5: Support bile flow (bitter foods, hydration, daily walk); add Super Omega 3D.
Day 6: If thyroid signs persist—cold hands, slow bowels, brain fog—layer Thyro Complete + ADK5 PRO (per label).
Day 7: Reintroduce one food at a time; watch sleep, cravings, bloat, mood, and energy for 24 hours.

What usually changes:

  • Nights 2–4: fewer middle-of-the-night wake-ups; calmer appetite.

  • Weeks 2–4: steadier mornings; easier body-composition changes.

  • Months 2–3: measurable waist change, clearer mood, better training response.
