If you’ve tried elimination diets, bone broth, or probiotics to heal leaky gut and nothing sticks, the problem probably isn’t what you’re doing. It’s the order you’re doing it in. Here’s the exact 5-step framework I use with every patient to heal the gut lining for good.
Welcome to Week 5 of our Gut Health Series. In this video, Dr. Myra Reed walks through the 5R Protocol (Remove, Replace, Reinoculate, Repair, Rebalance), the clinical approach she uses to address leaky gut, bloating, and digestive problems at the root cause instead of chasing symptoms.
In this video you’ll learn:
• Why adding supplements first backfires
• Step 1: Remove (inflammatory foods, pathogens & stressors)
• Step 2: Replace (digestive enzymes, HCl & bile support)
• Step 3: Reinoculate (targeted probiotics & microbiome diversity)
• Step 4: Repair (L-glutamine, zinc carnosine & BPC-157)
• Step 5: Rebalance (sleep, stress & long-term maintenance)
• What to expect at 30, 60, and 90 days of healing
Skipping steps is why so many people relapse. Follow them in order and your gut finally has a chance to heal.
