50% of High Blood Pressure Patients Have Insulin Resistance

American Journal of Hypertension - January 1st 2009

• Leaky gut → Inflammation → Insulin resistance
• This drives diabetes and high blood pressure
• Fixing the gut microbiome and wall integrity fixes both problems

Repair the Gut Wall

Seal Your Tight Junctions

• Your gut lining (epithelium) is one cell thick
• The rest of the gut wall is 2 mm thick!
• Damaged gut wall tight junctions leak toxins into the bloodstream
• L. Reuteri is one way to strengthen these seals
• Result: Inflammation is reduced at the source

Rebalance Your Microbiome

The GAPS Method (2 Stages)

• Stage 1 (5-6 weeks): Starve the gut to reduce foods feeding bad bacteria & creating inflammation
• Stage 2 (2 years): Rebuild with foods that are easier to digest and heal the gut
• Proven protocol for gut restoration, with over 20 years experience with GAPS coaches
• Dramatic blood sugar, blood pressure and insulin control improvements

Intermittent Fasting

Give Your Gut Time to Heal

• 18–6, 23-24 or 36 hour fasts trigger cellular repair
• Bad bacteria die off without constant food
• Good bacteria increase and bad bacteria reduce
• Results: better insulin sensitivity for everyone
• Blood pressure drops significantly from removing the root cause

Bone Broth Power

Liquid Repair for Your Gut

• Collagen + gelatine coat and heal gut lining
• Glutamine = fuel for intestinal cells
• Glycine & proline = building blocks for repair

Test Your Insulin Resistance

HOMA-IR Blood Test

• Measures the root cause of disease
• Above 2.0 = insulin resistance
• Above 2.5 = significant dysfunction
• Track your progress as you heal
• Watch your number drop to 1.0

Fermented Foods

Billions of Healing Bacteria

• Sauerkraut, kimchi = 28+ beneficial strains
• Produces butyrate to fuel gut cells
• Lowers fasting glucose
• Improves blood pressure control

Soaked Nuts & Seeds

Unlock the Minerals

• Raw nuts contain anti-nutrients
• Block mineral absorption
• Irritate gut lining
• Soak 12-24 hours to remove many of them
• Get magnesium without inflammation

Choose Organic

Reduce Chemical Burden

• Pesticides damage gut bacteria - leading to chronic inflammation which narrows arteries
• Glyphosate from herbicides enters your food & increases gut permeability
• Organic food is more nutrient rich with synergistic soil bacteria
• Much lower pesticide levels from the food in the gut
• Less inflammation, better healing

The Synergy Effect

All Seven Pillars Work Together

• Each one supports the others
• Follow the proven method that is available, around the world
• Start with a chat with a coaching session
• Have a free initial session with a qualified GAPS coach
• You can take control of your remission as many have already done so
