Jack Tips, PhD, CCN has created a cutting-edge, detailed assessment that he has run in tandem with clinical case studies (real live patients) for a full two years using before and after lab work as a marker to measure the efficacy of the assessment. After the launch of our last Gut Thrive where 2000 people took the assessment, we were able to further fine tune the assessment which means we can accurately slant your program to YOUR unique situation (viral, SIBO, FODMAPS, yeast and fungal infections, heavy metal toxicity, bacterial overgrowth, pancreatic deficiency, liver/gallbladder depletion, etc). This assessment should save you $1000-$2000 in expensive lab work, helping you identify a root cause and a viable starting point. Our assessment has been clinically tested and proven in over 2000 individuals and after fine-tuning it, we took a beta group of 100 through it to test it for accuracy. It measures 180 variables and takes into account both frequency and severity of symptoms and issues.

It's helpful, but not necessary. If you are eating clean before you begin, your die off symptoms (as the bugs leave your body) will be less severe, but we plan to give you a week to prepare yourself with small changes and then move into the full diet after that. Our process is so gentle and holistic that it turns the power over to your own body to decide the pace of detoxification. Christa guides you throughout the course with a myriad of cleansing methods to speed it up or slow it down, depending on what your unique needs are.

If you choose to do the supplement plan, supplements will cost extra. They run anywhere from $450-$500, depending upon your Gut Thrive in 5™ Plan. You will only need ONE round and will not need to stay on them after the GT5™ process is complete. We have worked meticulously with a molecular biologist, PhD in nutrition, and have a combined 60 years of clinical knowledge behind these formulas that will work synergistically to re-establish order to your entire microbiome (and immune system) and to make sure this happens in the most holistic way possible. That means you'll be able to find what works for your genetics and you'll allow your immune system to do the work to build your health instead of having the formulas "do it for you". We believe in the philosophy "teach a man how to fish" instead of "give a man a fish" and have a high success rate with these formulas in changing and improving people's lives for the long-term. We intentionally kept the price of this course much less than its worth to allow you to use your income toward this advanced and essential clinical therapy.

If there is anything you reorder in your life to make the supplements work for you, like suspending your cable or even your gym membership (maybe you're too tired to go right now) to pay for this round of supplements, we suggest it because that’s how important they are.

However, there’s more than one pathway to self-healing and certainly the program needs to fit your individual circumstances. The Gut Thrive in 5™ diet, lifestyle, support, and cleansing methods will certainly give you very positive results that alone could be a complete and life-changing engagement. However, if you want to compress and accelerate the timeline, work more assertively, and reach deeper healing more quickly (in 10 weeks or less), then consider the merits VS expense of the additional supplemental approach.

There have been thousands of hours and decades of learning put into teaching you how to provide foundational support to the body's healing endeavors. The program will build your knowledge for how to live a healthy life. Then if you are so inclined to add the clinical, therapeutic dimension of the supplement aspect-- perhaps because of a greater challenge (history of antibiotic use, diet of commercial, antibiotic meat, exposure to pathogens while traveling, history of more chronic derangement, autoimmune disorder, IBS), the clinical formulas are essential to addressing the GI microbiome in its entirety as a foundational point of leverage for lasting whole body health.

If you skip the supplements this time, depending on how tough your case is, you will need to budget to do the FULL course sometime within 12 months of starting your program to leverage the “hard work” you put in within the program on diet, lifestyle, and cleansing.

We have brought together the highest quality supplements into our Gut Thrive in 5™ Supplement Kits. They contain no gluten, dairy, corn, or soy and there are absolutely no fillers. We provide a list of every single ingredient before you purchase the kits so you can make an educated decision before doing so.

The beautiful thing about these magically crafted formulas is that they were created for highly sensitive people who have both food and chemical sensitivities. Christa then developed a staged approach to let all Gut Thrivers customize the pace of their detox to avoid herbal interactions as much as possible. Because the formulas are so gentle, their side effects are much less than traditional supplements There is not enough of any one herb in them to upset medications or to have an interaction. The strength of this supplement program comes from the unity of all the herbs acting synergistically (this strategy employs the epigenetic component of this program). This way none of the "bad critters" living inside your body will get smart and resistant to any of the botanicals, and you will be set up for great success. Our knowledge base, customer support team, and webinar replays with Christa and Jack will answer your specific medication and herbal questions to make sure you feel safe and comfortable with the approach.

Once you're in, you may begin the program at any time. Because registration is open to this program at any time, all participants will be at various stages of this program at any time. Within the Forum, you will notice that discussions will be occurring at every Step of the program because everyone has begun at different times.

You will receive lifetime access for the life of the program and you will be able to access it at any time. Note: Access to this program and content within this program may change as technology changes through the years and updates are made.

If you are on a short course of prednisone (10 days or less) or another immunosuppressant, you can eat according to our diet parameters, but wait to start your supplement plan until you finish. If you are on a long (extended use) course of immunosuppressants, you can start the program now. Our program can successfully run side-by-side and should not interfere with your medication. You may consider re-doing the program 6 months after discontinuing your immunosuppressants to re-boot and re-empower your immune system when it is no longer is being suppressed. It's kind of like when a parent doesn't let their child ever speak up and then later in life they have to go through therapy to "find their voice.” Eventually you will need to train your immune system that it's okay to live up to its full power and potential to take care of you.

If you are only on antibiotics for 10 days or less, wait to take the supplement program until after you finish your antibiotics, but jump right in and fill out the assessment, get your supplements ordered, and start watching the videos and following our instructions. If you've been on antibiotics for a long time (anywhere from one month to many years) because of acne or a very hard to kill bacterial infection and must continue them, start the program as normal as soon as possible, and you will get good results and be doing your body a huge favor.

No, the program is paid for in full upon registration although many people are opting to use PayPal's new payment plan feature to break the payments up into 2 or 3 installments.

There are no live calls scheduled for this program but within the program, all of the webinar recordings and transcripts from the last live edition of Gut Thrive that was offered in June 2015. There are 10 recorded webinars within this program.

Absolutely and this will be EASIER for you if you've already done The Whole Journey Candida Cleanse. BUT, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you were 100% sure that Candida was your primary issue and are feeling great now – know that this program is here for you at a time that is right to rejuvenate your microbiome. The immune system needs time to catch up and reset so if you did our Candida Cleanse, Gut Thrive in 5™ should be done no sooner than 2 months after you’ve finished.

Yes, 100% - this course is for anyone with a digestive system and will dive DEEP into the entire microbiome and educate you and your family for the rest of your life. The three-month program would have set you up perfectly to experience minimal die off and to come into GT5™ with more balanced hormones. You will be set up for success by already understanding the basic tenets of Christa's philosophy and approach to health.

You can eat according to any of the GI healing diets and do great on our own program. It doesn't interfere with any other modalities and if you are comfortable with the way you're eating and it works for you, it can trump our eating plans and you can use them later because as your microbiome heals, we’ll want you to introduce one new food per week to expand to a full and varied diet.

We welcome those from age 12-80 inside Gut Thrive in 5™. Rejuvenating and restoring the microbiome can and should be done routinely (annually or every few years— think of it as an equivalent to changing the oil in your car) and will add YEARS and infinite QUALITY to your life.

Start slowly and gradually build up as able to tolerate the formulas. The live portion of the program might help you figure out your "sweet spot”, and if not, you may need a half hour consult with Jack Tips to get private customization based upon how you progress. Of course we also want you to first check with your doctor and to be continued to be guided by them.

This program will be extremely helpful and beneficial for you but check with your doctor first. It’s not recommended if you are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation, but would be a wonderful endeavor after that to help rejuvenate the liver in addition to the microbiome and immune system.

If you’ve been diagnosed or suspect you have Celiac Disease, you can participate in this program. This program supports the body's GI tract healing abilities. Microvillus (the little ‘hair-like” fingers in the intestinal tract that absorb your nutrients) turn over and grow back frequently as long as they are not being insulted with foods and other forms of inflammation. All of the supplements that we have chosen for each of the Gut Thrive™ plans are completely gluten free and free of other excipients. Our research and clinical studies show you can restore your microbiome after years of damage from undiagnosed Celiac disease.

It’s hard to find an exceptionally skilled, compassionate functional medicine practitioner who will take your case and be your partner in your wellness. Jack Tips, our resident Gut Thrive in 5™ practitioner, is that type of practitioner and he sees cases to their completion (i.e. - you have gotten your life back). While his practice is overflowing with a 3-month wait list, he has agreed to make himself available for appointments for our Gut Thrivers and has agreed to offer ½ hour consults at $125 to be mindful of the expense you've already invested. As a Gut Thriver, his team will get you an appointment within 10 days if you need one (but we're hoping you'll get such great results that you won't need one!)

We totally understand. When you have been sick and suffering for a while, you've already spent a lot of money on your health and it's so frustrating. That is part of the reason we created this course, because sickness bankrupts people. We take your trust seriously and care about you, your long-term health, and your future and we want our program to be finishing work for your gut healing process and not just another program you test out.

But you will have to choose health above EVERYTHING else…so you can see your kids grow up, so you can play with your grandkids, so you can have kids of your own, so you be who you're meant to be, create what you’re meant to create, spend time in nature and do the things you love.

There is nothing on earth more valuable than your health and if you truly believe that too, you will find a way to participate with us so you can get well and then increase your creative and earning potential from a healthy place.

We strongly encourage you to look around your life at places where you might be leaking money – be it eating out, Starbucks, Cable, recurring monthly subscriptions for things you don't use, or even the gym (maybe you're too tired to even go) and to re-appropriate those funds toward your health. If you spend a total of $1200 (course fee and supplements) on this program (plus you have to budget for healthier food), it's much better than re-upping to see yet another practitioner and paying $3500 in practitioner and lab fees and likely much more in additional supplements because you didn't find your "formula" the first time around, let alone the long term around time for lab work and appointments. This is your one life to live, trust your gut if this feels right to you.

If you absolutely cannot join us, stay tuned.

If you would like to be included in our scholarship application process, please send an email to support@gutthrive.com. Until then, watch all the videos you can at thewholejourney.com and follow the Randy and Christa Show as we will be doing a lot of shows about the microbiome. Eat an anti-inflammatory diet and focus on reducing your stress every single day.

You can do the full program ONLY if you've been nursing for 14 months or more. This is a WONDERFUL course for both partners to complete before conception.

We believe you are a smart, capable and powerful human being and that you can think for yourself. The reality is no doctor cares about your health more than you do. With that in mind, I'd encourage you to do a Google search for: "intestinal permeability and heart disease" or "intestinal permeability and diabetes" or "intestinal permeability and weight gain" or "intestinal permeability and cancer.” Read the studies. There are over 10,000. Take your favorite one to your doctor to read. MDs are fantastic and we need them, but they are not educated in this way. It is a completely different school of thought. And having only 20 minutes with you is simply not enough time to ever get to the root of what's truly ailing you. You are the CEO of your own health, not us, and not your doctor. You get to make the decisions and we encourage you to be as informed as possible and to believe that anything is possible.

We commend you for your journey and know it's likely been a long, taxing road. Most of our clients have said the same thing. We are usually people's "last stop,” and thankfully so because the last stop means we achieved real healing. Gut Thrive in Five™ is different because the assessment is unprecedented, the strategy PROVEN, and the formulas are customized and more holistic than any other approach out there. We approach the WHOLE person, not just the physical body. Our program reconnects you to your original genetic blue print and therefore gives your own body the chance to reach its inherent genetic potential and to "turn off" disease. We share with you over 40 years of combined clinical experience and a step-by-step approach that is easy to follow, with food that tastes good and doesn't take forever to prepare, and we help you create a mindset of wellness that lasts. We are exceptionally proud of this groundbreaking program. There is nothing else out there like it and we believe this process will revolutionize not only your own life, but also the integrative health care model.

The fact that you already eat this way tells us that you have the dedication and ability to fix your health. Our diet plan may even be more relaxed and easier for you to follow. We believe the human body is stronger than we give it credit for. It's flexible and adaptable and shouldn't have to stick so hard to diets to maintain equilibrium.

Our goal is to bring you back to your original and most powerful strength that you likely haven't even experienced yet in this life. By bringing you to this place as you go through this course, should enable you to live an 80/20 balance because your body will be strong enough to burn sugar efficiently when there are carbs present and to burn fat efficiently when there is fat present. If you stick to a healthy, clean diet 80%of the time, you can manage your health for life.

We have four diet options depending on where your assessment results take you. If you have SIBO or FODMAPS, your diet will be stricter than the rest. You must adhere to a specific diet for the first 6 weeks and then we help you determine (based upon the level of healing you’ve achieved) when you’re ready to move toward your 80/20 balance. Diet is one piece of healing your gut and fixing other health problems. You will also need proven high quality supplements with a strategy behind them that are proven to work time and time again. You also need simple but effective lifestyle habits, and to eliminate any hidden root and environmental causes that are keeping you sick. GT5™ is different because it's all pulled together under one program with easy steps for you to incorporate into your daily life.

Results vary, but most people feel MUCH better after four weeks because the pathogen purge will be well underway and your intestinal terrain will begin to change. Some feel completely differently within the first two weeks. Everybody is different and there is no catch-all when it comes to biochemistry. The average time to healing is one month for every year you've been sick but our course can slash that by 50%. So if you’ve been very sick for 20 years, it could take you 5 months to realize the full effect of GT5™. If you’re coming to us already “healthy-ish" with some GI distress, your results will likely be more pronounced sooner. So as with anything in health, nothing is guaranteed… but we think you'll be incredibly pleased with your progress.

This has worked for us time and time again in clinical practice and recently with 2000 people from around the world. It's also what the latest trusted research shows to be effective for the long-term, and what some of the top functional medicine doctors and practitioners in the world do with their patients with stellar results.

Nobody has time these days but what you truly value in life, you will create the time and energy to execute. It’s a value that has to be cultivated. Outsourcing your health to your doctor or another practitioner hardly ever works. You have to be involved and committed to your healing process and you must understand what's going on in your own body because it will empower you to always keep it in balance after that. You just have to make the hard decision to make your health your #1 priority above all else. The airlines have it right: "in an emergency, always put your own oxygen mask on first and then save others." If you don't invest in your health today, who will? And who will be there for your loved ones down the road?

Yes, you can access the membership site from anywhere as long as you have high-speed Internet and email access. Supplements can be shipped internationally, but depending upon the Customs process in your specific country, the delivery time can vary. Unfortunately, the delivery of international shipments is out of our control. We are able to offer shipping to the following countries outside of the US: Austria. Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Great Britain (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland), Ireland, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland, Sweden, and Singapore.

PLEASE NOTE: A $60 Flat Rate USPS Priority International Shipping will be added to the cost of the Supplement Kit upon check-out, but will NOT include any additional customs fees/duties imposed during shipping process. The purchaser of the Supplement Kit will be responsible for any additional fees. If Customs refuses your package, a refund on the Kit will not be granted unless it is returned to our Shipping Facility with all unopened supplements included and in good condition. Also note, it may be more cost effective for some countries to order kits separately because some fees can be more if there are multiple kits in a package. Please be sure to check with your individual country’s custom regulations. 

If you are in a country we are unable to ship to, we recommend that you collect the ingredient list of the needed products and take them to your local health store/practitioner to try to match the ingredients and dosages as close as possible based upon what's available in your country.

7-9 hours/week is ideal and you will be setting yourself up for tremendous success - just an hour or two dedicated to Gut Thrive in 5™ per day! Here is a very realistic breakdown of the time you will be putting towards this program on a weekly basis:
2 hours to watch all videos, read through materials and plan your actions items
2 hours for the live portion of the program (webinar Q&A)
3-5 hours for grocery shopping, prep and cooking

An additional 1-2 more hours for self-care in the mornings or evening (for things like oil pulling, meditation, or castor oil packs) would be a huge bonus. Self care is important throughout this program!

Yes - as soon as you receive your login to the Membership Portal upon registration, you will have access to all program material.

While this program has reversed many autoimmune conditions, it is a gut microbiome program. By improving the gut microbiome, you will improve your immune system. However, there is no one panacea and we don't want you to come to the program expecting that, because everyone is different and will experience different results.

The fact that the gut microbiome can drive autoimmune disorder is well known, but fixing the GI tract does not ensure that the body will turn off the epigenetic expressions that are already occurring.

The microbiome is a factor, a cause, and a major contributor to autoimmune diseases; and failing to correct that will become an obstacle to health and the body's self-restorative mechanism. For the individual, correcting microbiome imbalances is certainly an improvement, but what the body does with that improvement is individually-determined. There are many factors that align to create an epigenetic expression of a "medically-labeled" disease.

After the microbiome is corrected, the body often requires a "directive" and "help" addressing other components of its distress: and in the holistic model, this can be attitudinal, stress, dietary, cell-membranes, cellular metabolic processes, mitochondrial free radical damage, etc. plus the need for a specific healing directive. There's just more to health than a panacea but we will do our best to guide you as a group (not as individuals) inside Gut Thrive in 5™.

It's not the purpose of this program to put off any medical care. Before you enroll, it's important to understand the assets and limitations, thus the true scope, of this program's benefit.

This program has helped dramatically lower blood glucose and Hemoglobin A1C levels when tested with before and after lab work. The latest research on diabetes shows a strong gut microbiome link. This occurs via several mechanisms (all mechanisms which GT5™ improves):

1) Overgrowth of sugar producer species (firmicutes) that keep driving insulin resistance via glucose into the blood
2) Epigenetic switches thrown that impact mitochondrial ATP production
3) Cell membrane inflammation that interferes with phosphorylation and glucose processes in the Kreb's Cycle
4) Signals to the brain via leptin (hormone that regulates appetite and weight control) and adiponectin (protein that regulates glucose and breaks down fatty acids)

The microbiome is VERY, VERY much involved, at a very CORE level. Correcting the microbiome has powerful ramifications and is a MUST to help your body heal itself with Type I or Type II Diabetes, but again it might be first base and not the complete healing process. Human biochemistry is complicated and unique and results will vary.

The gut microbiome affects thyroid performance, and research points to a pathogen-biofilm enzyme, transglutaminase, as being able to launch the immune system against the thyroid peroxidase enzyme (which gives you antibodies and is a major indicator of Hashimoto’s) system. Again, the place to start is with microbiome improvement. This program when executed faithfully has been known to dramatically reduce thyroid antibody levels in both Hashimoto’s and Graves. Healing the gut is first base to improving the thyroid. Further work on the thyroid may be needed after Gut Thrive™.

Yes, we want to support the health of your entire household! When you register for Gut Thrive in 5, your login can be shared with everyone in your household to complete the program. This means that everyone can take the assessment and will be put in their own Gut Thrive Plan. We recommend each individual complete their assessment with their own email address.

Not yet, but soon. The Gut Thrive™ strategy is trademarked by The Whole Journey and our assessment is copyrighted by Jack Tips after two years of hard work and clinical research. We plan to devise a practitioner training program, so this work can spread. Please check back with us. Likely this program will not begin to be created until late 2016.

Yes. We are pleased to announce our affiliate program. All the program details and registration can be accessed by going to xxxxxx.  If you are a practitioner or internet marketer, recommending and promoting this program, will make a huge impact on the health and lives of others!

Most everyone coming to Gut Thrive™ will have more than one issue. This program covers the microbiome in its entirety (microbiome being defined as the collective genetic material of all the microorganisms in your gut) and does not focus on only one “bug” so there is a strong, multi-faceted anti-pathogenic component that covers many bases. The assessment will slant your program to encompass all of your G.I. issues and give you the program that covers multiple issues, but will lean the support heavier on what is determined to be the heaviest pathogenic burden on your body and/or the root or gateway that allowed the other pathogens to enter.

We do not have a liquid version of the supplements, but you can open up most of the capsules and take them with food or in water if you cannot swallow pills. Four of our existing supplements are already in powder and liquid form and what you receive will depend on which Plan you fall into.

You will need to proceed gently and take it slowly as your body allows. Correcting the intestinal microbiome is so important as the gut/brain connection and cellular metabolic responses are connected. We suggest you start slowly with minimal doses of the anti-pathogenic supplements and gradually increase dosages so as to avoid or minimize migraines, skin rashes, etc.

The redundant colon is a challenge that you must accommodate, (i.e. - water, fiber, food choices) to get your equipment to work. So first, your food does have a long, tortuous journey, but you can find what makes things work for your individual needs. If you have not tried soaking flax seeds and having 4 tbsp. with each meal, that's something that may help (you will have to customize your diet plan to meet your needs). Due to these special circumstances, we encourage you to take advantage of Jack Tips’ "quickie consultation" to help determine any special considerations for you. Jack’s "quickie consultation” is $125 for 30 minutes and can be booked once inside GT5™.

The spastic colon is due to:

1) The microbial microbiome
2) Inflammation, and that's where this program can help. Your body has to establish a workable system with the redundancy, but the "spastic" aspect has to do with the microbes affecting peristalsis and inflammation from an imbalance in the microbial species.

The gas/bloating is due to "sugar fermenter species" overgrowth too high up in your intestinal tract. This program is designed to help with that.

You'll be a bit of "wild card" in that you have the extra G.I. tract length, so you'll just have to try. A dietary adjustment at the onset where you focus on the bone broth and thus reduce the "sugar fermenter" species will be a big help. Avoiding hi-carb foods (sugars, breads) and the first part of this program (starving the sugar-producing bacteria) will help reduce the overgrowth and help improve that bloating. Then the second part will help with the overall balance, repair of inflammation, etc.

You'll need to start easy and make sure you can handle the work, so go little by little. Many of you with redundant colons will fall into Plan S which is slanted toward SIBO and FODMAPS.

The microbiome program is a good, general place to start but added kidney support will be necessary. This is the time to take advantage of Jack Tips’ "quickie consultation" to help determine the formula and a remedy customized to you. Jack’s "quickie consultation” is $125 for 30 minutes and can be booked once inside GT5™.

The formulas do not have a "blood thinning" effect, meaning no increased bleeding or bruising.

Once inside GT5™, you will complete our assessment which will determine which plan you are in. Once you know that, there are specific diets and considerations (and supplements) for each plan. While the general foods to eat and foods to avoid are similar, there are considerations that make each plan more effective.  All diet plans are orchestrated to support the liver and the adrenals, to balance blood sugar, to slash inflammation, and to combat yeast, fungus, worms, h. pylori and all manner of GI "bugs" (aka – to stop feeding them and to help usher them out of the body). The meals plans also target foods that heal leaky gut or intestinal permeability and balance HCL.

If you have gastroparesis, we recommend adding on a "quickie 30-minute consultation" with Jack Tips for $125 as you go through your program.

He will need to know if you can take capsules with food that can clear your delayed stomach passage, if you can work with dietary fibers, if you consume solid foods, and a few other things. It is most likely you will have to open up the capsules and take the supplements that way.

If you are willing to give it a try, have a short consult with Jack, and be optimistic about working with supplements, it's worth a try.

Only children from age 12 and older. Younger children that do Gut Thrive™ should be concurrently guided by a physician or by Jack Tips.

Our supplements contain RNA/DNA factors that are bovine (New Zealand) derived and are not kosher. These "factors" come from a tissue, (i.e. - stomach or pancreas, etc.), are treated with hydrochloric acid to digest away all the meat and tissue. What's left is a white powder that has the genetic amino acid structures. This is a very holistic and hard to come by method of processing to allow greater healing.

After your completion of the assessment, the automated assessment will put you into 1 of 4 Gut Thrive™ Plans based upon your results. It will not be personalized, but your answers to the assessment will affect the outcome of which Plan you are placed. All plans address all parts of the microbiome and depending on which category your results put you in, your program will have a stronger pull toward bacteria, virus, yeast/fungus, protozoa, parasites, or H. pylori. If you would like to go over your results with Jack Tips, he has graciously offered a discounted "30-minute quickie consults” at $125/30-minute session. Please keep in mind you are enrolling in a group program, not a program geared toward individualized care. We want to set up your expectations accordingly.

We have worked methylation support into this program for those who have trouble with detoxification. If you have MTHFR, you should continue your methyl folate/ methyl B12 while on the program, so that you are primed and ready for this work, and because it's needed with or without the MTHFR gene SNP. There are not many situations where the microbiome causes the body to correct the genes. But there are many cases where "everything works better" when the microbiome is healthier. Some bacteria "methylate" and some are involved with the manufacture of hydroxocobalamine which seems to work better when the gut has biodiversity and beneficial species.

So this program is a step in the right direction and if your body does in fact have the ability to correct the gene, then this program is foundational, even necessary. Genetic repair does occur, but it's mostly epigenetic expressions that are involved. New horizons await in this research because it's all so new!

Most Lyme patients have autoimmune and microbiome dysregulation. By improving the gut microbiome, the Lyme bacteria or other co-infections related to Lyme have a less sustainable environment and overall, will have a much more difficult time surviving.

Like with any stubborn bacteria, The Gut Thrive™ addresses the overall environment of bacteria and the microbiome response to it. This program will also address biofilms and how to break through the biofilms which is an important element to Lyme and the treatment of it.

Please note this program is not specifically designed for patients with Lyme disease or its co-infections, and we do not recommend going through the program when you are in a flared state. Our support teams will not be able to answer specific questions around individualized health situations as it pertains to Lyme or your course of treatment.

Unfortunately, no. We can take back full, unopened supplement kits only.

Yes. When you complete the assessment and get your plan, which will address both SIBO, Candida along with fungus, and other aspects of your microbiome. You will be placed into the Plan that is slanted towards the issue that is causing the greatest problem. The assessment will determine this problem and where your starting point is and blend your work to address both concurrently.

As a general rule of thumb, give the body some time to heal itself after a surgery before resuming therapies or starting new programs.

As for the Gut Thrive In Five™ program, you should be able to start the program when you are eating your normal diet and are off of post-surgery medications. Check with your doctor regarding "normal activities and diet" post-surgery.

No.

No opened bottles can be returned. All supplement kits must be returned in their entirety and completely unopened. If it helps you to understand our success rate— our refund rate last time was less than .05%, as the vast majority found our supplements gentle, highly effective and most were non-reactive (or they had to go more slowly to reduce reactions).

We have a full, searchable Knowledge Base to answer your questions. This has been populated with answers to over 1000 questions specific to Gut Thrive from previous participants. We also have a full customer support team that answers questions submitted through the program with a 72 hour turnaround. We will not answer questions with specific lab value or case histories included. We will also not answer questions that have already been answered with the searchable Knowledge Base or questions that are not specific to the program.
