  Living Proof Protocols
Choose the Protocol That Matches What Your Body Is Facing
 
Different stressors require different support. Select the path that fits your situation.
Quick note on the approach
Traditional medicine is best at acute care: diagnosis, procedures, antibiotics, and emergency intervention. Functional medicine focuses on the missing middle: the systems that determine how well you recover, how resilient you are under stress, and why issues keep recurring.

These protocols are designed to support the terrain alongside your medical care: gut integrity, inflammation load, immune balance, nutrient reserves, and recovery capacity. Educational support only. Always follow your clinician’s guidance.

Want 1:1 help beyond the protocol?

If you need personalized guidance, lab-based insight, or practitioner-level support especially if symptoms keep returning or recovery feels complicated higher-touch support is available.

Why functional care helps when things keep coming back: traditional care can calm the immediate flare or infection. Functional care looks for what keeps reloading the problem: microbiome disruption, inflammation patterns, nutrient depletion, immune dysregulation, motility issues, and recovery capacity.

This is a good fit if you:

  • Keep being prescribed antibiotics without lasting improvement
  • Want labs reviewed and a clear strategy, not guesses
  • Have recurring symptoms, confusing triggers, or prior complications
  • Need coordination alongside your existing providers
