The Problem: Most Guts Are a Toxic Mess
Let’s be brutally honest—your gut is probably a warzone right now. Between fast food, chronic stress, artificial sweeteners, painkillers, alcohol, antibiotics, late nights, and no fiber… it’s a wonder your digestive system hasn’t completely staged a protest. And for many, it has.
A broken gut doesn’t always scream at you. Sometimes, it whispers:
That mid-afternoon energy crash you keep blaming on bad sleep.
The acne or rosacea you’ve thrown every cream at.
The stubborn 10 lbs that just won’t budge.
The never-ending “Is this gas or am I dying?” game.
Here’s the truth: your gut isn’t just responsible for digestion. It’s the command center for your immune system, your mood, your hormones, your brain clarity, and even how you absorb nutrients.
If your gut is off, your entire life is off.
And the longer you ignore it, the worse it gets. Because gut issues are progressive. Today’s bloating is tomorrow’s irritable bowel. Today’s occasional constipation is next week’s brain fog, depression, or autoimmune flare.
Let’s put it plainly: a gut reset is not optional anymore—it’s urgent.

Key Takeaways
Your gut controls more than just digestion—it impacts mood, energy, and immune function.
Modern diets and lifestyles destroy your microbiome and gut lining.
If you’re bloated, constipated, foggy, or fatigued—your gut needs a reset.
You can reset your gut in just 7 days with the right approach.
Why a Gut Reset Works (and Who It’s For)
You don’t need to be a nutritionist or biohacker to fix your gut.
You just need a plan.
A gut reset works by tackling three core problems:
Inflammation in the gut lining that causes pain, poor digestion, and leaky gut.
Dysbiosis, or an imbalance of gut bacteria, usually caused by antibiotics, sugar, or poor diet.
Sluggish elimination, which means your body is reabsorbing waste it was supposed to ditch.
The gut reset protocol clears out harmful foods, gives your digestive system a break, heals your gut lining, and rebuilds your bacterial army from scratch.
Who should do a gut reset?
People with chronic bloating, constipation, or diarrhea
Anyone recovering from antibiotics or illness
People experiencing fatigue, brain fog, or poor sleep
Anyone trying to improve skin, lose weight, or reduce inflammation
Who shouldn’t? If you’re pregnant, nursing, have a diagnosed GI disease, or take regular medication, consult a professional before starting. Everyone else—your gut will thank you.
The 5-Step Gut Reset Protocol
Step 1: Cut the Crap
This is where most people mess up. They try to add “gut-friendly” foods or take a probiotic without removing the foods that cause chaos in the first place.
Start by eliminating:
Refined sugar (feeds bad bacteria)
Alcohol (destroys gut lining)
Processed foods (contain additives that damage gut flora)
Gluten and dairy (common inflammatory triggers)
Seed oils (can inflame the gut and body)
Replace them with:
Fresh vegetables and low-glycemic fruits
Grass-fed meats and wild-caught fish
Cooked foods that are easy to digest (soups, stews, broths)
Herbal teas like ginger, peppermint, and chamomile
Plenty of water (hydration = smoother elimination)
Use a printable grocery swap sheet to stay on track.
Step 2: Flush and Cleanse
Think of this as your digestive system’s spa day.
Support detox and elimination with:
Hydration: Aim for 80-100 oz water daily
Soluble fiber: Flaxseed, chia seeds, avocado, beans
Insoluble fiber: Broccoli, carrots, leafy greens
Gentle “scrubbing” agents like psyllium husk or bentonite clay (optional)
This is also where you introduce The PoopSTICK™. It positions your body for better elimination—no straining, no incomplete dumps, and no leftover toxins sitting in your colon. Our users call it “the game-changer.”
Step 3: Repair the Lining
Your gut lining is just one cell thick. That’s thinner than a sheet of paper. And when it gets inflamed, you get everything from leaky gut to food sensitivities to chronic inflammation.
To rebuild that lining, focus on:
L-glutamine: An amino acid that fuels intestinal cells
Bone broth: Rich in collagen, gelatin, and gut-healing nutrients
Zinc carnosine: Supports mucosal healing
Slippery elm and marshmallow root: Herbal soothers for the gut
Avoid raw veggies or high-FODMAP foods during this phase. Your gut needs calm, not chaos.
Step 4: Re-seed With Good Bacteria
Your gut is a garden, and after you weed it out, it’s time to replant.
Start with real-food probiotics:
Sauerkraut
Kimchi
Coconut yogurt
Kefir
Miso
Add a high-quality probiotic supplement with at least 10 strains and 30 billion CFU. Just don’t make the mistake of only relying on pills.
Prebiotics feed probiotics. Include:
Chicory root
Garlic and onions (if tolerated)
Asparagus
Bananas (green or just ripe)
This duo brings your microbiome back into balance.
Step 5: Get Your Poop in Rhythm
Pooping once a day isn’t a luxury. It’s a requirement for a healthy gut.
Signs of healthy elimination:
1–3 bowel movements daily
No straining
Complete elimination
Medium-brown color
Soft, sausage-shaped stools
Use The PoopSTICK every morning, ideally after a warm drink or light movement. Bonus points for breathing exercises while you’re on the throne.
Real Stories: What Happens After a Gut Reset
“I haven’t had a normal poop in 15 years. After 4 days with The PoopSTICK and the reset protocol, I was like clockwork again.” – Karen, 52
“My skin cleared up, I dropped 6 lbs, and my cravings disappeared.” – Dante, 34
“My doctor asked what I was doing. She said my blood pressure and inflammation markers were the lowest she’s ever seen.” – Lesley, 45
Healing your gut touches every system in your body. You might come for the better bathroom habits—but you’ll stay for the energy, clarity, and confidence.
Common Mistakes That Sabotage Your Gut Reset
Not fully cutting out inflammatory foods (“Just a little cheese” can set you back)
Overdoing raw veggies and fiber too soon
Skipping water (dehydration = constipation)
Not prioritizing sleep (your gut heals while you sleep)
Getting discouraged after 3 days – Stick it out. Your gut didn’t break overnight.
Maintenance: Keep Your Gut Happy Long-Term
The reset isn’t the end—it’s the beginning.
Keep your gut strong by:
Eating fermented foods weekly
Drinking enough water
Sleeping 7–9 hours per night
Using The PoopSTICK daily or as needed
Following an 80/20 clean eating plan
Managing stress with breathwork, cold showers, or meditation
Also: Repeat a mini-reset every 3–6 months, especially after travel, stress, or a rough food weekend.
Final Word: You Don’t Need a PhD to Fix Your Gut
This isn’t about becoming a wellness monk or living on celery. It’s about giving your body the tools it needs to reset itself—quickly, gently, and powerfully.
If you’ve been ignoring the signs… If you’re tired of feeling heavy, foggy, or stuck… If you just want to poop like a normal person again…
Now’s the time.
