Dr. Hagmeyer explains in detail the who what where when and why of the 4 steps in leaky gut protocol. If you have been struggling for years with gut problems The 4 Step Leaky Gut Protocol is a great place to start. We recommend that you work through this protocol with a doctor certified in functional medicine as for some individuals, they may experience herxheimer reactions. This protocol is very comprehensive and continues to be modified over the years to improve clinical outcomes. If you suffer with Leaky Gut, Parasites, gut inflammation, Gut Dysbiosis, SIBO, (Yeast) fungal overgrowth, this is my updated Leaky Gut Protocol.
The human body is in daily contact with potentially toxic and infectious substances in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The GIT has the most significant load of antigens. The GIT can protect the intestinal integrity by allowing the passage of beneficial agents and blocking the path of harmful substances. Under normal conditions, a healthy intestinal barrier prevents toxic elements from entering the blood stream.
Causes of Leaky Gut
Factors such as stress, an unhealthy diet, excessive alcohol, antibiotics, and drug consumption can compromise the composition of the intestinal microbiota and the homeostasis of the intestinal barrier function of the intestine, leading to increased intestinal permeability. Intestinal hyperpermeability can allow the entry of harmful agents through the junctions of the intestinal epithelium, which pass into the bloodstream and affect various organs and systems.
Thus, leaky gut syndrome and intestinal barrier dysfunction are associated with intestinal diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome, as well as extra-intestinal diseases, including heart diseases, obesity, type 1 diabetes mellitus, and celiac disease.
The impact of dietary nutrients on barrier function can be crucial for designing new strategies for patients with the pathogenesis of leaky gut-related diseases associated with epithelial barrier dysfunctions.
4 Steps To Healing A Leaky Gut
Having a digestive system that works right is a key component to maintaining and restoring health. My 4 Step protocol (4R Gut Repair Protocol) for healing a leaky gut can often be the answer to prayers for people who suffer with SIBO, IBS, Diarrhea and a host of other chronic health problems.
The digestive system, also referred to as the gut, is responsible for much more than just processing the foods we take into our bodies. The majority of our immune system, and almost all of the chemicals our body uses to regulate mood, are located in our guts. Because of these connections between digestive health, immunity, and emotional well-being, problems in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract can go beyond the usual symptoms of pain, gas, bloating, and diarrhea.
They can actually be the main cause of various chronic health problems such as hormonal imbalances, eczema, rosacea, diabetes, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

In Functional Medicine we use an effective approach that we call the 4R Leaky Gut Protocol – Remove, Replace, Re-inoculate, and Repair. This approach can be extremely effective when dealing with dysbiosis, gut infections, yeast overgrowth, SIBO, biofilms and parasites. Here our Main Focus areas during Leak Gut
- ✅Mucosal Immunity
- ✅Microbial Balance
- ✅GI Barrier Health
- ✅Antimicrobial
- ✅Inflammatory Balance and Mucin Production
Leaky Gut Supplement- #1 IgG Protect
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
- ✅Provides Concentrated Immunoglobulins to Enhance Mucosal Immunity
- ✅Stimulates the Body’s Normal Gut Repair Mechanisms
- ✅Helps Maintain Microbial Balance
- ✅Improve Intestinal Villi (celiac Disease)
Research shows that colostrum can restore a leaky gut lining to normal permeability levels. IgG Protect is a highly concentrated immunoglobulin G (IgG) formula that provides essential nutrition for improved immune health and nutritional gut lining support.
The immunoglobulins in colostrum are especially impressive at combatting gut pathogens, including H. pylori, E. coli and protozoan parasites and amoebas.[A],[B],[C] Antimicrobial effects are likely due to the presence of the antibody (immunoglobulin) complement system. Colostrum: is not only one of the first foods for the developing microbiome, colostrum exerts a powerful influence on gut health and bacterial composition.
Leaky Gut Supplement #2 -Mucosagen
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
- ✅Provides Concentrated Immunoglobulins to Enhance Mucosal Immunity
- ✅Stimulates the Body’s Normal Gut Repair Mechanisms
- ✅Helps to Enhance the Elimination of Microorganisms
- ✅ Helps Maintain Microbial Balance
Mucosagen is a comprehensive formula designed to help support barrier function of the gastrointestinal lining.
The mucosal epithelium serves multiple purposes including allowing nutrients from the diet to be absorbed and digested while simultaneously serving as a barrier that protects against unwanted food particles, toxins and microorganisms from passing directly into the body.
Mucosagen includes a synergistic blend of ingredients that support the health of the GI lining while maintaining normal inflammatory balance and liver detoxification pathways to support overall health.
Leaky Gut Supplement #3 – Gluatashield
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
- ✅Supports GI Barrier Health and Integrity
- ✅Promotes Inflammatory Balance and Healthy Gut Epithelium
- ✅Provides Concentrated Nutrition for GI Cells
GlutaShield is designed to promote the health and barrier function of the gastrointestinal (GI) lining. Its unique formula includes nutrients that support the gut mucosal epithelium.
The purpose of the epithelium is to allow the digestion and absorption of dietary nutrients while keeping unwanted toxins, microbes and food particles from passing directly into the body.
GlutaShield includes a high dose of L-glutamine (4 g), which serves as nutrition for the gut lining.
It provides 400 mg of deglycyrrhized licorice root extract (DGL) and 75 mg of aloe vera extract, both of which protect and promote the health of the gut mucosa. N-acetyl glucosamine and zinc boost GI integrity.
Leaky Gut Supplement- #4 – Z binder
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
• ✅Promotes detoxification and elimination in the GI Tract
• ✅Reduces immune burden and maintains normal inflammatory balance
• ✅Supports microbial balance
• ✅Broad-spectrum binding capacity
Z-Binder is a comprehensive binding formula containing natural ingredients to support enhanced clearance of heavy metals, mycological agents and organic compounds like glyphosate from the gastrointestinal tract. Unlike proprietary blends, Z-Binder is formulated with standardized amounts of zeolite, activated charcoal, and humic and fulvic acids. These ingredients gather and remove a wide array of toxins and debris for a thorough detoxification protocol, limiting the effects of die-off reactions and relieving immune burden.
The mineral content in Z-Binder comes from the purest sources across several geographic areas, from rich mineral deposits in eastern Europe to the vast mountains of central Asia. All ingredients in Z-Binder have been thoroughly tested under strict quality protocols to ensure purity and potency.
Leaky Gut Supplement #5 – Inflamma-bLOX
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
• ✅Maintains Normal Inflammatory Balance
• ✅Strengthens GI Barrier Integrity
• ✅Boosts Immune Function
• ✅Provides Key Nutrients for Cell Replication
Inflamma-bLOX is a comprehensive formula designed to address immune challenges and maintain normal inflammatory balance. Chronic inflammation results when acute inflammation fails to resolve and because of poor choices in lifestyle, diet and/or environmental factors. Inflamma-bLOX provides a blend of phytonutrients including skullcap, bee propolis, turmeric and graminex pollen extract for full-spectrum inflammatory support.
All Chronic disease is rooted in chronic inflammation. Internists, cardiologists, oncologists, and nutritionists continue to find evidence linking chronic inflammation with chronic diseases and the diseases of aging. The effects of chronic inflammation accumulate over a lifetime to manifest themselves in a number of disorders, including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, pulmonary disease, arthritis, erectile dysfunction, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Whatever problems you may be experiencing related to gut health, the 4R Leaky Gut Program should be one of the very first steps toward good health. I have personally seen chronic and inflammatory illnesses completely reversed very quickly by using the 4R method.
My Diagnostic Questionnaire has been carefully designed to assess your health history, symptoms, Goals and provide a personalized recommendation to take back your health. This questionnaire ensures that our we match you with the service that is a good fit for your health strategy.
