Ultra Prevention Meets the Gut and Health Reset: A Revolutionary Path to Lifelong Wellness

What if the future of medicine didn’t revolve around waiting for illness to strike, but rather focused on preventing disease before it ever begins?

This vision is the cornerstone of Ultra Prevention, a pioneering approach to health created by Dr. Mark Liponis and Dr. Mark Hyman - two leaders in the Functional Medicine movement.

As a Functional Medicine Practitioner and Nutritional Therapist, I’ve long embraced the principles that Ultra Prevention champions.

In fact, my soon-to-launch 12-week Gut and Health Reset Programme mirrors many of the same foundational ideas - but with a personalised, real-life application tailored to your unique health needs.

Let’s explore this revolutionary approach to health and how my programme can help you embody it.

What Is Ultra Prevention?

Ultra Prevention is not just a method, it’s a mindset shift.

Rather than reacting to illness, it seeks to understand and correct the root causes of dysfunction.

At its heart are five essential areas of health that need to be balanced for disease prevention and optimal wellbeing:

1. Nutrition

2. Metabolism

3. Inflammation

4. Detoxification

5. Oxidative Stress

When any of these systems fall out of balance, our bodies become susceptible to chronic disease. Let’s break these down.

1. Nutrition: From Overfed to Nourished

We live in a world where many are overfed but undernourished. The Ultra Prevention philosophy—and my programme—emphasise nutrient density over calorie count. This means fuelling the body with whole, real foods, rich in the vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients your cells need to thrive.

2. Metabolism: Your Energy Engine

Metabolic dysfunction can manifest as fatigue, blood sugar imbalances, and weight gain. Supporting metabolism involves reducing sugar and refined carbs, increasing activity, and balancing macronutrients—cornerstones of both the Ultra Prevention approach and my Reset Programme.

3. Inflammation: Friend Turned Foe

While acute inflammation helps us heal, chronic inflammation silently drives disease—from autoimmune conditions to cardiovascular issues. Identifying and removing dietary triggers, allergens, and sources of gut imbalance are central to calming inflammation.

4. Detoxification: Supporting the Body’s Cleanup Crew

Every day we are exposed to toxins—from pollution to pesticides. Our bodies work hard to eliminate them, but sometimes they need help. The Reset Programme includes targeted support for liver detoxification, reducing toxic load, and restoring elimination pathways.

5. Oxidative Stress: Combatting Cellular Rust

Free radicals - unstable molecules that damage cells - are behind aging and many diseases. Antioxidants from a vibrant, plant-rich diet, as well as lifestyle changes that lower stress, are key to restoring oxidative balance.

My Reset programme includes 110 pages of delicious, nutritious recipes to choose from to help you increase your antioxidant intake.

How My 12-Week Gut and Health Reset Aligns with Ultra Prevention

My programme brings the principles of Ultra Prevention into a practical, transformative 12-week roadmap designed for real people with real lives.

Phase 1 – Remove

We eliminate what’s sabotaging your health:

• Anti-nutrients

• Ultra-processed foods

• Excess sugar, caffeine, alcohol

• Food sensitivities

• Environmental toxins

• Infections
  

This “clean slate” phase lays the foundation for healing.

Phase 2 – Repair

Next, we rebuild:

• Replenish vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, stomach acid etc

• Reinoculate the gut with beneficial microbes

• Repair the gut lining

• Support hormonal and immune balance
  

This is where your body receives the tools it needs to restore function.

Phase 3 – Recharge

Finally, we turn to restoring resilience:

• Stress management techniques

• Sleep optimisation

• Gentle movement

• Breathwork and mindfulness

• Community building
  

This phase supports the nervous system and integrates long-term habits.

What Makes This Programme Unique?

While Ultra Prevention offers a powerful conceptual framework, my Gut and Health Reset Programme turns it into a step-by-step, personalised plan that guides you through real change:

• Tailored to your specific symptoms and health goals

• Delivered with practical, actionable steps

• Rooted in Functional Medicine principles

• Designed for sustainability - not quick fixes

• Supported by expert guidance and optional community

Ready to Begin Your Prevention Journey?

Health transformation doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It begins with small, sustainable changes, and a belief that your body is capable of healing when given the right support.

Here’s what you can do right now:

• Read Ultra Prevention by Dr. Liponis and Dr. Hyman for deeper insights

• Reflect on how you’re currently fuelling and caring for your body

• Make one or two small changes (e.g. add more vegetables, reduce sugar)

• Seek a guide or community—like my 12-week Reset Programme

• Most importantly, become your own health advocate
  

Prevention is not just about living longer. It’s about living better.
