Restore Your Gut in 30 Days: The Dr. Pfau Protocol

Restore Your Gut in 30 Days: The Dr. Pfau Protocol

If your digestion feels off—bloating after meals, sluggish elimination, food sensitivities, or just a constant discomfort in your gut—you’re not alone. Most people have never been taught how to heal their gut. But Dr. Donald Pfau, DC, has spent years crafting a proven 30-day protocol that works.

This isn’t a cleanse. It’s not a crash diet. It’s a clinical reset based on real science, real patients, and real results. And it starts with one goal: restore the gut lining, rebalance the microbiome, and reboot digestion.

This program is designed to be completed in 3 strategic phases, each targeting a key aspect of gut health:

  1. Phase 1: Remove
  2. Phase 2: Repair
  3. Phase 3: Rebalance 

Phase 1: Remove (Days 1–7)

Goal: Eliminate gut triggers and reduce inflammation.

What to Cut Immediately:

  1. Processed sugar
  2. Gluten
  3. Industrial seed oils (canola, soybean, corn)
  4. Alcohol
  5. Dairy (if sensitive)

These inflammatory foods can fuel gut dysbiosis, bloating, and immune reactivity. Removing them clears the path for healing.

What to Start Taking:

  1. DigestWell+ – Helps break down food and reduce bloating before meals
  2. IgG Support (with meals)- Targets bacterial and yeast overgrowth
  3. GI Barrier Support - (on empty stomach)- Heals the gut lining with L-glutamine, zinc carnosine, DGL
  4. Inflammation Support  -If your gut needs a "firefighter", this is a heavy hitter to cut down inflammation. It also serves as an excellent protein shake replacement. It can be taken after a workout as well.

Pro Tip: Keep meals clean and simple—lean protein, fiber-rich vegetables, and healthy fats. Drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water daily to support detox and digestion.

Phase 2: Repair (Days 8–21) – Rebuild Your Gut & Calm the Inflammation

Now that the gut has been cleared of key triggers, it’s time to repair the gut lining, restore good bacteria, and soothe lingering inflammation. This phase focuses on rebuilding your internal foundation with targeted nutrients and lifestyle support.

Continue Taking:

  • GI Barrier Support – Supports gut lining recovery with L-glutamine and zinc carnosine
  • DigestWell+ – Enhances nutrient absorption and reduces digestive strain
  • IgG Support – Continue only through Day 14 to further reduce overgrowth

Add These Key Support Supplements:

Probiotic Complex (before bed)- Reintroduces beneficial gut flora to rebalance your microbiome

Anti-Inflammatory Omega Supplement- Delivers essential fatty acids to reduce gut inflammation and aid tissue repair

Diet Tip:

Nourish your gut with healing foods like bone broth, lightly steamed greens, squash, and antioxidant-rich berries. Avoid snacking between meals to give your digestive system time to fully reset.

Lifestyle Boost:

Move daily with at least 15 minutes of walking and incorporate stress-reducing practices like journaling, meditation, or deep breathing.

 

Phase 3: Rebalance (Days 22–30) – Support Long-Term Gut Health & Microbiome Diversity

In this final phase of your gut reset journey, the focus shifts to maintaining your progress and rebuilding a resilient, balanced gut microbiome. Now’s the time to nourish the good bacteria, reinforce your gut lining, and introduce low-inflammatory, nutrient-dense foods.

Continue with:

Add:

Fiber Complete - A Prebiotic Fiber Supplement, which feeds beneficial gut bacteria and promotes microbiome diversity

For directions on how to use and dosage, please see the product link.

Food Focus:
Gradually reintroduce low-inflammatory carbohydrates like quinoa, sweet potatoes, and raw vegetables. Boost gut-friendly bacteria by adding fermented foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi, and kefir to your meals.
