From Lab Tests to Listening: The New Rules of Gut Healing
Dr. Brad sits down with Dr. Michael Haley for a candid, fast-moving conversation on what actually heals the gut. They unpack why the gut is the hardest organ system to repair, why “just take a probiotic” rarely works, how to think about muscle testing vs. conventional labs, and the surprising role of faith, listening, and real-world quality control in both healthcare and nutrition. If you’ve felt lost in protocols and products, this one reframes gut healing from the inside out.
Key Takeaways
- Gut integrity first: The gut renews quickly, but persistent inflammation, leaky gut, and microbial imbalance make it the hardest organ system to truly heal. You must calm immunity, restore microvilli, and re-establish healthy flora, in the right order.
- Probiotics aren’t a silver bullet: Crowding out “bad bugs” requires the right anti-microbial support plus flora that can actually colonize. Quality matters more than marketing.
- Testing with integrity: Lab tests define symptoms, not roots. Muscle testing can be powerful when done without bias and paired with sound physiology and cross-checks.
- Personalization over protocols: No single cookbook plan works. Therapeutics should change as the body changes.
- Foundations drive outcomes: Food intolerances, detox capacity (gut wall, colon wall, microbiome, liver), and stress all determine whether anything else works.
- Faith and discernment: A lifestyle of prayer, fasting, and careful listening helps clinicians and patients surface the “hidden data” that drives better decisions.
- Quality over convenience: Product sourcing and manufacturing shortcuts show up as poor clinical results. Choose integrity, even if it costs more.

✨ Lasting gut healing isn’t about the trendiest protocol or the newest bottle, it is about sequence, integrity, and listening. Restore the terrain, support real detox pathways, choose quality inputs, and keep testing your assumptions. When you do, the body shows you the next right step.
