New Year’s health resolutions are an opportunity to reset your habits and strengthen your commitment to wellness. Many people begin the year with strong motivation. That motivation fades when goals feel vague or too hard to reach. A functional medicine approach offers a clear path. It centers on proven daily habits, targeted nutrition, and support for the core systems of your body. AMMD™’s protocols give you practical steps that turn your resolutions into achievable progress.
Each protocol supports a foundational area of health. You receive guidance for diet, gut health, detoxification, immune balance, energy, and longevity. These steps fit easily into real life and give you the structure you need to stay consistent.
Setting Realistic and Achievable Health Resolutions
what Your healthy New Year’s resolutions must be clear and manageable. This increases the chance you will follow through. Research shows that behavior change is likely to stick when you start with small changes and build over time. Gradual progress supports long-term success because your healthy habits feel sustainable rather than stressful. (1)
Start with one or two goals. Examples include eating patterns that improve your health, adding more whole foods such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, reducing exposure to toxins, and improving sleep hygiene. Identify why each goal matters for your health. This gives you internal motivation when challenges arise.
Your plan should also be personal. You may need different steps than your friend or partner. Functional medicine encourages you to listen to your body and adjust based on your symptoms, energy level, and response to food. This approach helps prevent overwhelm and keeps your resolutions grounded and realistic.
Common Health Resolution Goals to Consider
Many people start the new year with similar goals. You may want to eat healthier or make healthy choices to support health and wellness, boost your physical health, or manage your risk of autoimmune disease. You may want to support your immune system, incorporate more physical activity, or increase your stamina. You may want deeper sleep or a calmer mood. Here are some of the most common goals people generally make for the new year.
Improve Nutrition
Most people benefit from a cleaner, nutrient-dense, healthy diet. Focus on AIP-compliant whole foods. Choose leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, wild-caught fish, pasture-raised meats, fresh herbs, and healing spices such as turmeric and ginger. Remove foods that may trigger inflammation. You can also plan ahead for what to eat on New Year’s Day to start the year with balanced nutrition and reinforce your healthy habits.
Boost Energy
Fatigue can result from nutrient gaps, gut issues, chronic stress, or toxin exposure. Addressing root causes helps you feel more alert and focused throughout the day.
Manage Stress
Chronic stress affects the immune system, digestion, cardiovascular function, and hormone balance. Research shows that techniques that reduce stress can improve overall well-being. (2)
Enhance Sleep Quality
Good sleep allows your body to repair tissues, regulate hormones, and support cognitive function. Avoiding screen time before bed and following simple, actionable steps can help you get back on track and maintain healthy habits. Many people struggle with sleep due to blood sugar swings, poor evening routines, or an overactive mind.
Overview of AMMD™ Protocols for Health Resolutions
AMMD™ protocols offer a complete approach to your wellness goals. The protocols dive deeper than just a simple product, providing step-by-step guidance with supplement recommendations, meal plans, recipes, and symptom trackers to help you track your progress. Keeping New Year’s resolutions is often about having a structured plan.
Each system in your body is connected. Your gut influences your immune system. Your detox pathways affect your energy. Your diet influences every part of your health. Each formula in these protocols works together to create balance across these systems.
Gut Health and Microbiome
The holidays can place real stress on your digestive system. Many traditional dishes contain triggering and inflammatory foods that can irritate your gut lining. Overindulgence is common during this season and can disrupt healthy motility. This can set the stage for a flare of SIBO or candida symptoms. Alcohol can worsen the problem since it can weaken the gut barrier and alter your microbiome. To help restore balance and support healing, I designed AMMD™ protocols specifically for SIBO, candida overgrowth, and leaky gut.
Leaky Gut Support Protocol
This protocol is targeted to soothe and repair the integrity of the intestinal barrier, which is often compromised in gut‑driven health issues. It’s ideal if you suspect increased intestinal permeability, digestive imbalance, or want to strengthen your gut lining to support overall health.
What’s included:
-
Key gut‑healing supplements: Probiotic 100 Billion (to rebalance gut flora), Leaky Gut Revive® (with soothing and repairing botanicals), digestive enzymes (to aid proper breakdown of food), a biofilm disruptor (to help reset microbial balance), immune‑supporting barrier nutrients, paleo protein (to help rebuild gut barrier), liposomal curcumin (for immune and antioxidant support), and a greens superfood powder for detoxification support.
-
Supportive resources: a “Guide to the Gut,” 30‑Day plan, detox guide, sleep guide, recipes, supplement guide, and a “Gut Health for Life Roadmap.” These help you implement long‑term habits, from diet to lifestyle, that nurture and protect gut lining and microbiome balance.
The goal is to stop intestinal permeability, support a healthy inflammatory response, promote digestion and microbiome balance, and re‑establish a strong, healthy gut barrier. In turn, helping to minimize food sensitivities, unwanted immune activation, or nutrient malabsorption.
SIBO Support Protocol
This protocol is designed for anyone dealing with suspected or diagnosed small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). This is also for anyone experiencing recurring digestive issues such as bloating, gas, or bowel irregularities that could stem from a microbial imbalance in the small intestine.
What’s included:
-
Targeted supplements: Microb-Clear® (to help rebalance microbial population in the GI tract), biofilm disruptor (to break down microbial biofilms), activated charcoal/ binder to relieve gas and bloating, probiotic (soil‑based or colon‑targeted) to re‑establish healthy flora, digestive enzymes, paleo protein to support gut barrier, Leaky Gut Revive® for gut lining support, and immune‑support supplements to protect GI barrier.
-
Guidance materials: a 30‑Day Guide, a Guide to SIBO (understanding what it is and how to address it), a “Gut Health for Life Roadmap,” recipes, shopping list, supplement schedule, and a progress tracker. These resources help you implement protocol changes responsibly and track improvements.
The goal is to reduce small‑intestine microbial overgrowth, restore proper microbial balance, relieve gas and bloating, support gut lining and digestion, and help prevent re‑overgrowth by rebuilding a healthy gut environment.
Candida Support Protocol
This protocol focuses on addressing overgrowth of yeast (Candida) in the gut which can contribute to digestive disturbances, skin issues, immune imbalance, fatigue, brain fog, and other issues linked to microbial dysregulation.
What’s included:
-
A suite of fungal‑ and gut‑balancing supplements: Probiotic 100 Billion (to support healthy gut flora), Leaky Gut Revive® (to soothe and strengthen gut lining), immune‑support supplement (ImmuneIG), digestive enzymes, paleo protein for gut barrier support, a specialized yeast‑targeting formula Candifense®, caprylic acid (to support healthy intestinal balance and discourage yeast overgrowth), and charcoal/binder to reduce gas, bloating, and support detox.
-
Supportive resources: 30‑Day Guide, shopping list, and a gut health roadmap to help you follow a gut‑supportive, microbial‑balanced diet and lifestyle that supports yeast regulation and overall gut health over time.
This protocol aims not just to suppress Candida temporarily but to rebalance the gut microbiome, strengthen the intestinal barrier, and support long-term digestive and immune wellness, reducing the chance of recurrent yeast overgrowth.
Autoimmune and Inflammation
The holiday season can trigger flares in autoimmune symptoms for many people. Changes in eating, sleep, stress, and daily routines can challenge your immune system and increase inflammation. Even small deviations from your usual habits can create symptoms such as fatigue, digestive upset, or joint pain. Maintaining a consistent, year-round approach to nutrition, sleep, stress management, and gut support helps your body stay resilient. This foundation allows you to enjoy the holidays while minimizing flare-ups and supporting overall wellness.
The Autoimmune Solution™ Protocol
This is the most comprehensive protocol designed for anyone dealing with autoimmunity or chronic inflammation, or who wants to proactively maintain immune balance. It works by addressing root triggers: gut health, nutrient absorption, chronic inflammation, and immune dysregulation.
What’s included:
-
A curated lineup of doctor-formulated supplements, such as digestive support, gut‑barrier support, immune balance, essential nutrients, healthy inflammatory response, and antioxidant support. Examples: Leaky Gut Revive® (gut‑lining support), ImmuneIG (GI barrier & immune support), a high‑quality multivitamin (for adrenal and thyroid support), omega‑3 for brain and immune function, probiotics to support an optimal microbiome, Paleo Protein for gut barrier strength, digestive enzymes, and Charcoal Binder Complete for gut detox and comfort.
-
Educational resources: 30‑Day Guide, meal plans (AIP‑compliant), shopping lists, recipes, supplement guides, a symptom tracker, a toxin‑free home guide, stress‑management guide, and more. These resources help you adopt lifestyle and dietary habits to support long-term immune balance.
The aim is not to just suppress symptoms, but to address the root causes of autoimmunity, especially gut integrity, nutrient status, and immune regulation. This helps your body regain balance and resilience.
Post-Protocol Maintenance Bundle
The Post-Protocol Maintenance Bundle is designed to help you sustain the gains you made during an initial gut-healing, SIBO, Candida, or leaky-gut protocol — supporting a balanced microbiome, healthy digestion, and a reinforced gut barrier for the long haul. The bundle includes four core supplements: Probiotic 30 Billion to promote beneficial gut bacteria and regularity; Prebiotic Fiber Complete to feed good microbes and support microbial diversity; Complete Enzymes to optimize digestion of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and fiber; and ImmuneIG, immunoglobulins that bind unwanted substances in the digestive tract to help protect and support GI-barrier integrity.
This maintenance bundle reflects my clinical experience: rather than returning to baseline after a protocol, using these supplements together provides a synergistic foundation to preserve gut health, support regular digestion, and promote your microbial balance. This bundle helps you stay well long after the intensive healing phase is over and is great for maintenance, especially during holidays and travel.
