This client case study reveals how functional gut testing uncovered the root causes of post-cancer treatment symptoms including brain fog, fatigue, and pain, leading to dramatic health improvements through targeted interventions.

• GI Map testing identified H. pylori, low beneficial bacteria, and gluten sensitivity
• Most patient's chronic health issues show either too-low or overgrown bacterial patterns
• Anti-gliadin antibodies confirmed gluten sensitivity despite minimal perceived consumption
• Gluten antibodies can remain elevated for 3-6 months, requiring strict elimination
• Gluten sensitivity often presents as joint pain, fatigue and brain inflammation rather than gut symptoms
• Upper GI support addressed insufficient enzyme production indicated by test results
• Client lost 5-7 pounds without trying simply by reducing inflammation
• Nutrition assessment scores improved across almost all health markers
• Client became an advocate for nutrition's role in health after experiencing benefits
• Targeted testing and customized protocols produce noticeable symptom improvements

Kelly Hale, occupational therapist and movement specialist, reveals how nervous system regulation is the missing piece in gut healing. She shares her journey from traditional OT to developing a brain-body-biome approach that helps clients release emotions stored in organs and tissues.

• Chronic stress keeps the body in fight-flight-freeze, making proper digestion physiologically impossible
• Developmental movements we experience as babies lay the foundation for nervous system regulation throughout life
• Specific organs hold particular emotions – liver stores anger, ileocecal valve holds complaints, cardiac sphincter harbors worry
• Traditional talk therapy works well for some, but somatic approaches provide another entry point for releasing stored trauma
• Simple movement patterns can help regulate the nervous system without complex equipment or extensive training
• Our bodies whisper before they scream with pain – learning to listen to subtle cues prevents bigger issues
• Cross-body movements are particularly effective for bringing the nervous system back to regulation
• The sensory experience of food and environment plays a crucial role in nervous system health

The liver plays a critical dual role in both digestion and detoxification, requiring proper support for optimal function especially for those dealing with biotoxin illness or seeking general health optimization.

• Drink half your body weight in fluid ounces of water daily with sea salt to maintain hydration and support cellular function
• Move your body regularly through walking, yoga, or other gentle exercise to stimulate lymphatic flow
• Sweat intentionally through exercise or sauna sessions to help expel toxins through the skin
• Use castor oil packs over the liver area to increase glutathione and support detoxification pathways
• Consider quality liver support supplements like Beta-TCP to provide precursors for healthy bile production
• Healthy bile flow supports both toxin elimination and hormone production through improved fat digestion
• Proper liver function can sometimes restore menstrual cycles in women who thought they were menopausal
