An Introduction to the Betr Protocol & the Level 1 Food List

The Betr protocol created by Dr. Ferro is an effective way to reduce inflammation in the body and reset gut health. Inflammation can be a result of various environmental factors, food allergies, or even pre-existing conditions. Fortunately for us, this protocol provides a step-by-step approach that is tailored to each individual's needs.

The goal of the Betr protocol is to reduce inflammation in your body and, in turn, reset gut health. Dr. Ferro has found the Level 1 food list accomplishes these goals through a short-term elimination phase of many different foods. This does not mean other foods are necessarily “bad” and many foods can be reintroduced during Level 2. The Level 1 food list sets a baseline, and from there we build on that foundation.

This list is essential for a few reasons. Primarily, the removal of certain foods is important for creating the baseline for improved gut health. As said before, it does not mean those foods are bad, rather it sets a foundation on which we can add more food options in the future.

In addition to creating a foundation, the elimination of certain foods is also important to identify food allergies or intolerances. It is easier to identify food sensitivities when there are fewer options from which to choose.

Making the transition to the Level 1 food list can feel overwhelming but is necessary for taking control of your gut health. With the help of your Betr Health Coach, you will be fully supported during this transition.

It's also important to make sure you are still eating a balanced diet and staying nourished. Don't worry, there are still plenty of delicious foods you can eat on the Level 1 food list that will help keep you healthy and full.

The Betr protocol and the Level 1 food list provide us with a strong foundation upon which to build our gut health. Eating according to this list can help reduce inflammation and identify food allergies. Make sure to stay in contact with your coach so they can be able to assist you in every way they can, and remain nourished with the many nutritious foods found on the Level 1 list.
