You’ve tried 20 protocols and failed. Not because you're broken, but because there are a billion combinations of gut issues. Finding the right fix online is as rare as finding healthy food at a gas station. Usually, you have two choices: - Spend years researching mechanisms and gathering data. - Hold a thousand variables in your head until you find the pattern. I spent hundreds of hours doing that so you don’t have to. I’ve taken my experience with the world’s most dysfunctional guts and trained an AI on every complex eventuality I’ve ever seen. My exact pattern recognition, without the 1-on-1 price tag. It’s time to stop guessing and start solving. Join the waitlist for GutFix today for a lifetime discount: gutfix.ai/waitlist

I've seen hundreds of people with some of the worst gut issues recover fully. I've seen thousands on the web who haven't. The difference is never willpower or discipline but whether they understood the mechanisms behind their symptoms or just kept throwing supplements at individual problems hoping something sticks. The ones who ask "why is my stomach acid low" instead of "what do I take for bloating" recover faster every single time. Once you see how your symptoms connect to one or two upstream drivers everything changes, That's what I do with clients at over £800/month. GutFix puts that same thinking process in your pocket for less than 1/10th of that. Live on Android today.

No food is good for you no matter the benefits "on paper" if it doesn't agree with your gut.

Once you understand how your gut works, building habits around that becomes much easier, In this episode me and @BerrabeTommy discuss your guts natural reflexes and how to support them for less bloating, more regular stools and overall a healthier body: open.spotify.com/episode/47V…

You're stacking so many meals on top of eachother that the conveyor belt that is your digestive system has no choice but to break, Things move much slower when you have low stomach acid, poor bile flow or a damaged intestinal lining and poor vagal tone. Bloating. Gas. Fermentation, Constipation or Diarrhea depending on your specifics, They can all likely be improved by adjusting meal spacing and working on the root causes of poor digestion. Here's some tips: - Betaine HCL Enzymes if you bloat during or up to an hour after - TUDCA if you have fatty sticky stools - Ginger if your motility is slow and gassy, pair with Atrantil to bind hydrogen and lead to less methane production - Spacing high fat high protein meals up to 8 hours apart if they are big, these meals are notoriously slow to digest - Focusing on easy to digest foods in the meantime like fruits (if tolerated), fish (if tolerated) and whatever you find digests easily for you If you'd like to know how to tell the optimal meal spacing for you, as well as what contributing factor there may be, GutFix AI gives you a free gut assessment when you join the waitlist: gutfix.ai/quiz

Gymbros you're going to have to forgive me but if you're bloating during and up to a few hours after your meal extra protein is poisoning you instead of helping your gains, Undigested proteins once they reach the intestine putrify and lead to the production of inflammatory compounds by bacteria. On top of this low stomach acid means up to 1000x more bacteria survive giving you an infinitely higher chance of a bacterial overgrowth, More bacteria = More endotoxin/LPS = Lower test = Less muscle gained. It also means that bile flow isn't being triggered properly in most cases, those greasy sticky multiple wipe stools sound familiar? That means less vitamin D absorption amongst many other fat soluble vitamins, which means guess what less testosterone. The best thing you can do for more gains is heal your gut, and stomach acid is one of those factors that is so common amongst my clients that I have to make this post dedicated to it, You'd likely benefit from: - Betaine HCL Enzymes - Zinc L carnosine - DGL Aloe vera But if you want to know if this is even your issue, or what to do about those other gut issues that came of it: gutfix.ai/quiz

Gut health affects the corporate ladder more than you'd ever know, men with even mild gut issues like IBS are 21% less productive at work on average. 38% have anxiety. Most report lowered confidence. Quality of life 30-45% lower across the board, You probably think that's just because bloating is uncomfortable but it's not. Your gut bacteria are actively rate-limiting your brain. When researchers injected 186 completely healthy people with the exact endotoxin that overgrown E. coli produces in your gut, Within hours they developed depression, anxiety, social withdrawal, difficulty concentrating, and fatigue. These were healthy people and it was just one exposure, What if some of the qualities you aren't satisfied with are just a direct result of constant LPS/Endotoxin circulation? It gets worse when you're already stressed too, the study showed that baseline stress and anxiety AMPLIFIED the cognitive damage from endotoxin. Put in maths terms: Stress X endotoxin, not stress endotoxin. That social withdrawal you feel before meetings? The brain fog that costs you the sharp answer in the room? The confidence drop that stops you speaking up? Endotoxin from bacterial overgrowths has been shown to cause every single one of these in controlled studies on healthy volunteers, Low stomach acid lets these bacteria overgrow in the first place, and from there: - B12 can't absorb properly, even "normal" levels at the low end cause measurable white matter damage and slower processing speeds - Bile can't flow so vitamin D doesn't absorb, the two brain regions with the highest density of vitamin D receptors are your memory and decision-making centres - Tryptophan gets diverted away from serotonin toward neurotoxic kynurenine and quinolinic acid, less motivation, less drive and worse sleep come of this When researchers treated the bacterial overgrowth, brain scans showed improved connectivity between brain regions. Kynurenine and subsequently quinolinic acid dropped. Anxiety and depression scores decreased. What someone thought was their personality was just their biology, and I suspect this is a lot more common than most think. If you have even the same baseline intelligence as the person sat next to you, 21% more productivity is bound to make a big difference, If you'd like to find out if endotoxin, low stomach acid or a multitude of other gut issues are part of your picture: gutfix.ai/quiz

Her after eradicating SIBO made you last 2.6x as long on average...

Low stomach acid is one of the strongest predictors of erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, Nobody's ever connected it for you so here's the cascade: Low stomach acid leaves protein undigested and lets up to 1000x more bacteria survive into the small intestine↓ These bacteria ferment undigested protein into TMA and flood the gut with endotoxin ↓ TMA converts to TMAO which directly damages the blood vessels responsible for erections, men with vascular ED have significantly higher endotoxin levels than healthy controls ↓ That same endotoxin reaches the prostate through the gut-prostate axis driving chronic inflammation, 59% of men with prostate inflammation have sexual dysfunction and 35% have premature ejaculation ↓ The inflammation depletes GABA in your brain, brain imaging shows PE patients have measurably lower GABA and higher glutamate leaving the nervous system in a state of constant over-excitability ↓ Simultaneously excess histamine from the overgrowth increases nerve sensitivity further, researchers are now targeting histamine receptors as a treatment for PE because reducing histamine directly delays ejaculation ↓ That's why 30 seconds in you're already near the finish line. Your brain has no brakes because your gut removed them. Men on acid suppressing medication have 80% higher rates of ED in the WHO's global database, Because these drugs do one thing: lower stomach acid. The good news is when researchers treated the bacterial overgrowth, 84% of men saw their ejaculation latency increase within one month. None of the untreated group improved. When you fix the underlying overgrowth, the symptoms (in this case ED and PE) remedy themselves naturally, If you want to find out if stomach acid is an issue for you, how you can support your body through this and potentially increase your odds of holding down a wife: gutfix.ai/quiz

3 hours between meals is not enough to allow proper motility. For most 5 hours isn't either. Let's say it's 11am and you're eating a clean lunch, chicken breast, rice, broccoli and maybe a small drizzle of olive oil, For 7 hours this meal is still in your small intestine. It's still in there until 6pm. If you eat at any point before it's left this meal essentially gets stuck (due to ileal braking and disruption of the mmc), being left to ferment whilst the food above catches up, This is because of a concept I have called bolus distancing, which states that at any one time no two boluses (meals) should be in the same intestine. If you consume another meal whilst meal 1 is still in the small intestine the likelihood bacteria ferment and overgrow is much higher, If you wait until it has left instead of getting stuck the gastrocolic reflex pushes it further down the large intestine which is positive for digestion. By this logic it seems 2 meals a day spaced 7-9 hours apart may be best for SIBO and IBS patients, as it reduced the total amount of time a meal would sit in the small intestine potentially being fermented, A few things to note are: - Fats may slow gastric emptying, meaning the time it takes for a meal to leave your small intestine is longer - Proteins may slow small intestinal transit also, so this is a factor to account for - Methane SIBO obviously slows transit time, which in this case some of it can be offset by use of prokinetics - Poor bile flow and low stomach acid are also factors which play into the total time it takes food to leave - High stress may also play a role, as with a sedentary lifestyle The important part is you do your best to space meals to the point where consumption is avoided whilst the small intestine has contents within, If you want to know how on earth you do that that's a question I had myself. I've spent the last 5 hours building a research based mathematical calculator for exactly this. It'll be integrated into my AI health coach GutFix at some point in the near future, but until then you can sign up to the waitlist and get a free symptom assessment and support plan in the meantime: gutfix.ai/quiz

You understand by now just killing bacteria isn't going to fix the issue, but why? In today's episode me and @BerrabeTommy discuss exactly that and give you some suggestions to make them work once again: open.spotify.com/episode/4AR…

Here's my crack at the age old question: "is coffee actually good for you" Here's some facts so you can decide if it's good for you: - Coffee drinkers are 16% less likely to develop IBS, likely due to improved motility and microbiome benefits, this was at 4 cups a day - For those already diagnosed with IBS however, 40% of people identified it as a trigger. This is due to a damaged gut lining and microbial overgrowths. If you already have IBS, use your intuition and experience - 73% of people experience faster gastric emptying and motility on coffee, so assuming you fit into the slow motility bracket it's likely beneficial in this regard - Those with sensitive mast cells saw an 80% increase in histamine just 30 minutes after drinking caffeinated coffee, if you have violent or urgendiarrheat after coffee or have histamine issues at all this is a good case to avoid or switch to decaf for the benefits - Coffee drinkers on average have 8x higher levels of some butyrate producing bacteria, meaning if your gut lining and microbiome are in tact it makes it stronger - On the above note coffee can actually increase akkermansia levels, but you need an in tact mucus lining to reap the benefits - Since coffee is acidic in some cases you can expect to see a reduction in E coli and other microbes as coffee slightly changes the pH of the gut. But that all depends if your environment can handle it -Overall it seems even for sensitive people decaf is much safer, all the above benefits are regardless of caffeine whereas most of the drawbacks above (besides acidity) are in part linked to caffeine Now you can make an educated choice, paired of course with your own personal experience, I do think a high quality swiss water decaf should be as talked about as any other super food however and hope to see more talking about this. If you can't currently drink coffee, maybe even decaf it's likely because your gut lining is crying for help, Learn your patterns and get a better grasp of how to save your gut lining by taking the 2 minutes quiz: gutfix.ai/quiz
