Ep 93: How Long Does It Actually Take to Heal Your Gut?
Notas del episodio
In this episode, I'm breaking down what a realistic gut repair timeline can look like, why some clients notice changes within weeks while others need several months, and what influences that process. I explain why we work in phases, what our priming phase involves, and why ongoing support and adjustments are such important parts of our approach.
We'll explore how your health history, accumulated stress, nutrient depletion, and coexisting conditions can add complexity—and how to recognize when you need more time versus a different strategy.
The goal is to help you set realistic expectations, recognize meaningful changes, and bring more compassion into the process of feeling better.
