Hi, I’m Dr Villanueva Founder and Chief Health Coach of Modern Holistic Health and Creator of the Healthy Body Restoration System. My mission is to help change our current health model by empowering men and women to understand how they can heal their body. We are leading health transformation and life optimization for women, men, and children across the globe.

I struggled with severe debilitating anxiety, depression, and memory loss in my mid 30’s. If there’s one thing I learned in my journey to freeing myself from depression and anxiety, and getting my memory back it’s that it’s most terrifying when we don’t know what’s causing the problems and how to fix it and when we are told by our doctors that the only solution is a lifetime of medications. Even more terrifying was watching my life crumble piece by piece. I lost 3 successful sports medicine clinics and even my home due to my illness. I had no idea back then that my gut was playing a huge role in my anxiety, depression and memory loss! In fact, I had no idea that my gut had anything to do with my brain, my hormones, or my immune system. I had no idea and apparently none of the doctors I saw had any idea either.

After over 3 years of searching for answers and failed attempts to find solutions to heal myself. And after hanging on to only a thread of hope through my faith, many tears, and agony of battling with anxiety and depression every day, I slowly found the many root causes of what had made me ill and how to fix them. One by one I discovered and eliminated the root causes and healed myself. I became an expert in chronic illnesses and brain chemistry imbalances, healing gut issues, epigenetics, and holistic medicine. Through my journey I have helped thousands of men, women, and children uncover the root causes of their symptoms and regain their health and vitality and joy for life.

I share this with you as a message of hope and inspiration so that you can empower yourself to step up and heal yourself from virtually any chronic health issue that has been holding you back from having the life you want to live. You hold limitless potential to upgrade and transform your life.

Looking out for you,

Dr. Villanueva

Interestingly enough most people don’t recognize some of the more obvious symptoms that they may need gut repair like:

With the symptoms varying so greatly it’s no wonder why so many of us have no clue they may benefit from gut repair. It can be difficult to pinpoint one single cause of leaky gut or other chronic health issues but as we mentioned in our '8QGHUVWDQGLQJ�*XW�5HSDLU' Ebook we now know that foods, environmental toxins, heavy metals, medications, and stress can all contribute to serious gut issues which can spiral into other chronic health issues.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Small Intestine BacterialOvergrowth (SIBO)

Celiac Disease

Food sensitivities

Gastric ulcers

Crohn’s disease

Constipation

Gas

Diarrhea

Bloating

The 4R Approach to Healing Your Gut No matter what your health issue is.

The 4R Approach is sure to help you and your gut heal. We have seen dramatic reversal of chronic and inflammatory illnesses in a very short period of time by utilizing the 4 R approach.

The Four R’s of healing your gut

Remove the bad. The goal here is to eliminate toxins and other things that negatively affect the environment of the GI tract such as infections, gut irritants like alcohol, caffeine or nicotine, Inflammatory foods including gluten, dairy, corn, soy, eggs and sugar(which can lead tofood sensitivities).

The goal here is to eliminate toxins and other things that negatively affect the environment of the GI tract such as infections, gut irritants like alcohol, caffeine or nicotine, Inflammatory foods including gluten, dairy, corn, soy, eggs and sugar(which can lead to food sensitivities).

Replace the good. Add back into your diet the essential ingredients for proper digestion and absorption. Many times we can become nutrient depleted by diet, drugs (such as antacid medications) diseases or aging. Digestive enzymes, hydrochloric acid and bile acids that are required for proper digestion and can be supplemented with your gut repair regimen.

Reinoculate with beneficial bacteria to re-establish a healthy gut ecosystem. This may be easily done by taking a probiotic supplement that contains beneficial bacteria.

Repair by providing the nutrients necessary to help the gut heal itself. One of my favorites supplements is L-glutamine, which is an amino acid that helps to rebuild the lining of the gut. Other important nutrients include zinc, vitamin D, omega 3 fish oils, vitamin A, C, E as well as herbs such as marshmallow root, slippery elm, aloe vera, and butyrate.

Gut Detox/Gut Healing food guide:

The following guide is what we use with our clients to provide your body with nutrient rich foods that assist in healing your gut, while maintaining a well-balanced diet. You will be focusing on eating a variety of nutri-tious foods and avoiding processed foods and common triggers.

Each meal should be a combination of fruits/vegetables, healthy fats and protein. Each day, you should eat:

Water is essential for the gut to detox and heal. As we detoxify, the body needs to be able to flush out toxins. Three ways the body rids itself of toxins is through urination, feces, and sweating. Drinking 64-100oz of SXULILHG� water daily will ensure that your body can properly flush out the toxins that are being released. When you are dehydrated your body will ‘recycle’ and grab water from your feces in your colon, which will in turn dry out your feces and make you constipated. Not only that but when your body pulls water from your colon because you aren’t drinking enough, your body becomes toxic --this water is toxic! So make sure you create a new habit of drinking a minimum of 64oz of SXULILHG�water daily!

While Water is essential to detoxification it can also add toxins to the body if we don’t drink the right water. We need to make sure that we drink pure and filtered water. As we are trying to get your body away from being acidic, it is important to avoid acidic water and chose alkaline water. Ideally water would be stored in a glass bottle, but if glass bottle options are not available make sure to buy water bottles with BPA free plastic.

5-7 servingsof vegetables

2-3 servingsof fruit

2-4 servings of protein(preferably non animal based)

Avoid:

Ɣ Reverse osmosisalkaline water

Ɣ Alkaline water inBPA free bottle

Ideal Water Choices:

Ɣ Tap waterƔ Spring water

Ɣ Distilled WaterƔ Water in plastic bottles with BPA

Gut Healing FoodsA healthy gut is essential to a healthy body. Your gut is responsible for absorbing nutrients from your food, making essential vitamins, and even making neurotransmitters for your brain. A large part of the gut healing process includes eliminating viral, bacterial, and parasitic patterns, heavy metals, and environmental toxins from the body. Before you can start a gut repair program it is essential to first detox the gut of any underlying infection patterns, biofilm, and other toxins. The foods listed below will help eliminate the toxins and enable the reestablishment of a healthy gut biome.

Celery JuiceContains mineral salts and healing properties for the gut to re-establish its own production of HCL and lay the foundation to create a healthy gut ecosystem. Start with 4-8 oz/day. You can add D�VPDOO�DPRXQW�oI� apple� cucumber, RU� lime for flavoring if needed - when you are juicing the celery. Drink celery juice on an empty stomach first thing in the morning, during the day or 2 hours after your last meal.

Avoid:

Ɣ Wild blueberriesƔ BananasƔ Apple

Ɣ Grapefruit Ɣ Fruit juices

Fruits with healing and detox properties

** If you currently have blood sugar issues or diabetes, limit your fruits to only the Wildblueberries and some mixed berries (organic always!)

Often times when people have leaky gut they also are having trouble digesting certain foods like meats.When this happens the meats can putrify in your gut allowing for more overgrowth of the bad bacteriaand also causing other issues. But if you chose to eat meat the following guidelines can be followed tohelp ensure you are eating a ‘cleaner’ version of animal proteins. You can also consider adding a gooddiegestive enzyme to help break down the animal proteins.

2- 4 servings per day (serving size = 3-5oz – the size of your palm)
