The Elemental Diet – An Underutilized and Multifaceted Tool for Many Gastrointestinal Annoyances
Elemental diets are powdered formulas that contain all the proteins and nutrients we need in their simplest, most digestible forms.
Elemental diets borrow the concept of tube feeding but deliver it as liquid shakes taken orally to meet all nutritional needs.
For instance, instead of challenging your digestive system with a heavy steak, the elemental diet contains individual amino acids in their absorbable “elemental” form, without requiring digestive action by your stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, and more.
If you’ve ever desired a big red RESET button for your digestive system, the elemental diet does that for you. While elemental diet programs typically involve expensive 14-day protocols, the longer timeframe is geared toward more advanced conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome, SIBO, Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis, and other inflammatory and malabsorption syndromes.
Benefits of a 48-Hour Gut Reset
Most Americans fall in the category of eating and snacking throughout the entire day.
I think keeping eating to 12 hours a day is a great baseline to shoot for. Most fasting schedules look at 14-16+ hours.
Our physiology is thousands of years old, and for much of human history, we did not have ready access to food 24 hours a day. It could be normal to go a few days with just a handful of calories, eventually getting a score like a beehive full of honey or a hunting kill that would feed for a week.
By not engaging some of these primal systems, we’re not fully eliciting all of the protective systems available to our body.
Intermittent fasting is one way to get the most out of the modern world while honoring our ancestors’ physiological conditions.
Intermittent fasting for 14-16 hours is one of my favorite diet hacks, yet there are some exceptions when fasting for longer than 12 hours may not be right for you…
