THE GUT LOVE GUIDE
A functional medicine roadmap to support leaky gut, hormone balance, and autoimmune thyroid health
Girl, your "hot girl tummy" is trying to tell you something.
Being bloated no matter what you eat isn't a personality trait. Neither is being backed up for days, then pooping your brains out the next, and never knowing which version of your gut is showing up today. Or having no "safe" foods left when you eat cleaner than everyone you know. Or waking up exhausted in a way no amount of coffee can fix, and forgetting why you walked into a room (and your bestie's first name). And if one more person tells you your labs are "normal" while you're unbuttoning your jeans after lunch, we riot.
Here's the thing nobody tells you: about 70% of your immune system lives in and around your gut. So when your gut is struggling, it doesn't stay in your gut. It shows up as fatigue, brain fog, skin flares, stubborn low iron, wild PMS, blood sugar crashes, and autoimmune conditions like Graves', Thyroid Eye Disease, and Hashimoto's. Your gut might be the missing piece nobody talked to you about.
I know because it was mine. A conventional stool test only found one parasite. When I ran a functional stool test, it found that parasite still there after antibiotics, plus H. pylori, multiple bacterial overgrowths, and leaky gut. None of that showed up on the first test. Once I addressed my gut, my eyes started to heal, my energy came back, and my nutrient levels finally stabilized. (My experience isn't a guarantee, but it shows what's possible when you stop guessing.)
This guide is the roadmap I wish I'd had:
the root causes behind leaky gut, dysbiosis, SIBO, candida, parasites, and H. pylori
the functional stool tests I use with clients, how they compare, and how to read your results
the 5R gut protocol, step by step, with the herbs and supplements I use most
how your gut connects to your thyroid, hormones, iron, and blood sugar
Inside 120+ pages and 22 chapters:
Understand your gut: the gut-thyroid connection, leaky gut, the gut in Graves', TED, and Hashimoto's, women's hormones and the estrobolome, and a pharmacist's guide to how your medications affect your gut (and vice versa).
Find your root causes: symptom checklists, deep dives on SIBO, H. pylori, candida, mold, parasites, and histamine, a full guide to functional gut testing, and an at-home stomach acid test.
Restore your gut: the complete 5R protocol, with detailed herb and supplement tables, an herb-by-organism chart, eating for SIBO, candida, and histamine, the Mediterranean diet, a food-as-medicine protocol, recipes, and a 12-week gut roadmap.
Beyond the thyroid: dedicated chapters on perimenopause, low iron and ferritin, insulin resistance, and constipation and diarrhea.
Plus practical tools:
Symptom Support Quick Reference: which supplements to consider for bloating, reflux, constipation, cravings, histamine, and more
The Gut Tracker: track your symptoms, bowel habits, labs, and food reintroductions over 12 weeks
Printable checklists throughout, so you know exactly where to start
Get the Gut Love Guide for $87, or get it included inside the Thyroid Clarity Kit, along with the Graves + TED Functional Master Guide and 6 more guides, for $147.
"No doctor ever looked at my gut, my blood sugar, or what was really going on underneath. Elena did. We found the dysbiosis, the leaky gut, and the insulin resistance, and we worked on all of it together. My eyes are almost back to normal. I don't even notice the asymmetry from my TED anymore. It's all thanks to her. God bless you, Elena."
