Treatment Dosage & Frequency

How much and how often?
Category:

Once you have your treatment strategy and schedule, and have acquired all of your treatment tools, you will begin onboarding your supplements and herbs from the lowest dosage for a few days to make sure that it isn’t too much for your body.

What is too much?

Everyone has their own common symptoms and tendencies. When these manifest or flare up, it means the treatment is too much for your body. If it is minor, you can either reduce the dosage and/or frequency. If it is major, I suggest you stop the treatment completely for a few days to allow the aggravation to dissipate. Once you are back to your baseline, you may reintroduce your supplements again, being mindful of the one you believe caused the flare. Try the dosage before the flare for a few days, then increase for a few days and assess your tolerance.

Instead of 1x/day, take it every other day

Common Symptoms

These are either going to be gut-based or body-based symptoms.

Gut-Based

Nausea, bloating, distention, gas, irregular bowel movements or frequency are the most common gut-based symptoms people experience when undergoing treatment. Usually the cause is one of two things:

  1. Your upper gut is not strong enough to process the supplement(s) or herbs
  2. There is too much stagnation in your lower gut blocking your stomach’s contents from descending

Body-Based

These are the most common symptoms:

BrainBrain fog
Brain-Body AxisAnxiety
Impaired sleep
Fatigue
Pain
Liver/GallbladderRed eyes
Dizziness/vertigo
High-pitch tinnitus (ringing in ears)
Frustration/anger

Instead of stopping all of your products, you could try reducing or stopping the one that you think is the culprit.

If you have a gut-based symptom, and you are taking a gut-based product, then you can try targeting that product first to see if your symptoms improve.

If you are using detox support, such as Liver-G.I. Detox, and you begin experiencing a Liver/Gallbladder symptom, you can try targeting that product first.
