Introduction
Welcome to the 30 Day Gut Healing Diet Plan & Guide! Whether you're here to just dip your toe in the water, or
to gain some more insight on your gut-healing journey, you’ve come to the right place.
This plan exists as a guide to help you learn more about gut healing, the causes, the solutions, other factors in
healing, and give you a meal plan template to help guide you through your own customized journey.
Teach you how to batch cook meals for the week in two rounds.
Cooking all of your meals at home doesn’t have to take hours in the kitchen every day. This guide comes with
batch cooking instructions on how to prep your meals fast.
Give you added insight into gut healing diets like AIP, GAPS and Low FODMAP.
There is more to healing than just food. This guide features added insight in gut healing, and healing diets.
What it can’t do
In my experience as a nutritional therapy practitioner, transitioning to a healing food diet can have drastic
effects on your health. Real food can help get you make great strides, but it can’t solve everything…

How We Heal Our Gut
Just as we all have different personalities, we have different methods that work for us for healing our gut. There
is no one size fits all approach. However, here are some helpful guidelines to help you along with your journey.
• Grains
• Dairy
• Legumes, nuts and seeds
• Processed foods
• Other specific foods that fit your protocol (more information on pg 7)
• Work to eliminate added unnecessary stress in your life as a whole, as this is crucial to proper gut health.
• Eat in a relaxed state. Sit, pray, meditate and calm down! Digestion can't happen in a state of stress.
• Avoid frequent snacks and drinking too much water with meals as this dilutes digestive juices.
• Chew each bite 30-40 times. This is hard, but so necessary!
This meal plan helps you to shift focus away from sugary foods and replace them with healthy fats and plant
based starches. Continue to be mindful about including protein (meat, fish, etc.), fat (avocado, coconut, fat in
the protein) and complex carbs (vegetables, fruits) in every meal and snack.
- 6-
Eating carb heavy meals or eating too little fat and protein can be hard on our blood sugar, which is hard on our
health.
This meal plan helps by adding in fermented foods to reinoculate the gut, and broth to repair the intesines.
7. Rotate your foods on a four day rotation to the best of your ability.
When we have increased intestinal permeability where food passes through our intestines, we can easily
develop multiple food sensitivites. A way to combat developing more sensitivites is to rotate your foods as best
as possible on a four day rotation within a 24 hour period.
For example, if you ate the same protein for lunch and dinner on Monday, you can have some Tuesday morning,
but wait until Friday/Saturday to have them again.
You don’t have to be perfect! The goal is to not eat the same foods every single day for 30 days.
This guide is designed to help you rotate foods in an easy to follow, and relaxing way that isn’t overly strict,
while still changing up foods. You'll notice that many meals repeat for convenience, and the rotation isn't as
strict on some days, but the point is to not be perfect, and do the best you can.

About Specific Protocols
As one size doesn’t fit all, there are several protocols and approaches to gut healing. This meal plan
covers three. I strongly reccomend finding what works for you by customizing and tweaking to fit your
own needs.

AIP FODMAP GAPS
Ingredients
• 2 lb grass-fed meaty shank bones (w/ marrow
preferred)
• 2 lb grass-fed joint bone (ankle, knuckle, etc.)
enough filtered water to just barely cover the
bones (varies)
• 1 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup veggies of choice (tops of carrots, ends of
onions/leeks for non-low fodmap, etc.)
• 2 bay leaves- 2 sage leaves (or 1 tsp dried)
• 1 tsp fresh rosemary (or dried)
• 1 tsp parsley
• 1-2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
1. Roast the bones in the oven at 400°F for 15-20 min.
2. Add the bones to a crockpot (or a stock pot on low heat) and add enough filtered water to just barely cover
the bones.
3. Add the veggies of choice and spices (reserving the parsley).
4. Leave on low heat for 48 hours. The broth should just barely be simmering. Tip: Skim the top a few hours in to
remove any gunk!
5. Add the parsley the last few hours to help pull more minerals.
6. Strain bones and cool broth. I recommend adding the broth to a metal mixing bowl, and adding that bowl to
a large pot/bowl filled with ice.
7. Reserve 2-3 cups for sipping and save the rest for stew.
8. TIP : When the broth cools, either add the rendered fat back in, or save it for cooking! It's great for cooking
vegetables :)

What to do After
the 30 Days...
1. Pat yourself on the back!
Way to go!! Healing diets are not easy. Even if you weren't "perfect", that doesn't matter! You’ve done an
amazing thing for your body and should be incredibly proud.
2. Remember that this is just a template and you may need more time to heal.
Everyone is different and many need more than 30 days until they can successfully reintroduce foods.
5. Follow a structured reintroduction plan for some of the foods that were mentioned
on page 10 that could be reintroduced.
Foods need to be reintroduced in a structured manner, and one by one. I reccomend working with a
practitoner, and checking out the book, Reintroducing Foods on the Paleo AIP.

Introduction
Welcome to the 30 Day Gut Healing Diet Plan & Guide! Whether you're here to just dip your toe in the water, or
to gain some more insight on your gut-healing journey, you’ve come to the right place.
This plan exists as a guide to help you learn more about gut healing, the causes, the solutions, other factors in
healing, and give you a meal plan template to help guide you through your own customized journey.
Teach you how to batch cook meals for the week in two rounds.
Cooking all of your meals at home doesn’t have to take hours in the kitchen every day. This guide comes with
batch cooking instructions on how to prep your meals fast.
Give you added insight into gut healing diets like AIP, GAPS and Low FODMAP.
There is more to healing than just food. This guide features added insight in gut healing, and healing diets.
What it can’t do
In my experience as a nutritional therapy practitioner, transitioning to a healing food diet can have drastic
effects on your health. Real food can help get you make great strides, but it can’t solve everything…

How We Heal Our Gut
Just as we all have different personalities, we have different methods that work for us for healing our gut. There
is no one size fits all approach. However, here are some helpful guidelines to help you along with your journey.
• Grains
• Dairy
• Legumes, nuts and seeds
• Processed foods
• Other specific foods that fit your protocol (more information on pg 7)
• Work to eliminate added unnecessary stress in your life as a whole, as this is crucial to proper gut health.
• Eat in a relaxed state. Sit, pray, meditate and calm down! Digestion can't happen in a state of stress.
• Avoid frequent snacks and drinking too much water with meals as this dilutes digestive juices.
• Chew each bite 30-40 times. This is hard, but so necessary!
This meal plan helps you to shift focus away from sugary foods and replace them with healthy fats and plant
based starches. Continue to be mindful about including protein (meat, fish, etc.), fat (avocado, coconut, fat in
the protein) and complex carbs (vegetables, fruits) in every meal and snack.
- 6-
Eating carb heavy meals or eating too little fat and protein can be hard on our blood sugar, which is hard on our
health.
This meal plan helps by adding in fermented foods to reinoculate the gut, and broth to repair the intesines.
7. Rotate your foods on a four day rotation to the best of your ability.
When we have increased intestinal permeability where food passes through our intestines, we can easily
develop multiple food sensitivites. A way to combat developing more sensitivites is to rotate your foods as best
as possible on a four day rotation within a 24 hour period.
For example, if you ate the same protein for lunch and dinner on Monday, you can have some Tuesday morning,
but wait until Friday/Saturday to have them again.
You don’t have to be perfect! The goal is to not eat the same foods every single day for 30 days.
This guide is designed to help you rotate foods in an easy to follow, and relaxing way that isn’t overly strict,
while still changing up foods. You'll notice that many meals repeat for convenience, and the rotation isn't as
strict on some days, but the point is to not be perfect, and do the best you can.

About Specific Protocols
As one size doesn’t fit all, there are several protocols and approaches to gut healing. This meal plan
covers three. I strongly reccomend finding what works for you by customizing and tweaking to fit your
own needs.

Ingredients
• 2 lb grass-fed meaty shank bones (w/ marrow
preferred)
• 2 lb grass-fed joint bone (ankle, knuckle, etc.)
enough filtered water to just barely cover the
bones (varies)
• 1 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup veggies of choice (tops of carrots, ends of
onions/leeks for non-low fodmap, etc.)
• 2 bay leaves- 2 sage leaves (or 1 tsp dried)
• 1 tsp fresh rosemary (or dried)
• 1 tsp parsley
• 1-2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
1. Roast the bones in the oven at 400°F for 15-20 min.
2. Add the bones to a crockpot (or a stock pot on low heat) and add enough filtered water to just barely cover
the bones.
3. Add the veggies of choice and spices (reserving the parsley).
4. Leave on low heat for 48 hours. The broth should just barely be simmering. Tip: Skim the top a few hours in to
remove any gunk!
5. Add the parsley the last few hours to help pull more minerals.
6. Strain bones and cool broth. I recommend adding the broth to a metal mixing bowl, and adding that bowl to
a large pot/bowl filled with ice.
7. Reserve 2-3 cups for sipping and save the rest for stew.
8. TIP : When the broth cools, either add the rendered fat back in, or save it for cooking! It's great for cooking
vegetables :)

What to do After
the 30 Days...
1. Pat yourself on the back!
Way to go!! Healing diets are not easy. Even if you weren't "perfect", that doesn't matter! You’ve done an
amazing thing for your body and should be incredibly proud.
2. Remember that this is just a template and you may need more time to heal.
Everyone is different and many need more than 30 days until they can successfully reintroduce foods.
5. Follow a structured reintroduction plan for some of the foods that were mentioned
on page 10 that could be reintroduced.
Foods need to be reintroduced in a structured manner, and one by one. I reccomend working with a
practitoner, and checking out the book, Reintroducing Foods on the Paleo AIP.
