The 3-Product Gut Protocol Every Functional Practitioner Should Know

In the ever-evolving world of functional medicine, there’s a growing tension between clinical depth and patient compliance. As practitioners, we want to address every imbalance, but overly complex protocols often lead to confusion, poor adherence, and burnout—on both sides of the treatment plan.

What if the solution isn’t more…but less?


Why Simplicity Matters Now More Than Ever

Many patients today are overwhelmed—not just by symptoms, but by the sheer number of supplements they’re asked to take. And practitioners are spending hours scripting, adjusting, and troubleshooting protocols that feel more like nutritional Jenga towers than streamlined care plans.

According to Amy Rawls, Director of Education and Clinical Services at Transformation Enzyme Corporation, this complexity is entirely avoidable.

“There’s a better way,” she shared in a recent webinar with Dr. Tracey Stroup. “When you focus on foundational enzyme therapy, you can deliver real results—faster, simpler, and with greater compliance.”

The Core of Rawls’ Approach: A 3-Product System

Rawls recommends building your protocols on a simple yet powerful trio:

  • Digestive Enzyme (e.g., DigestZyme)

  • Proteolytic Enzyme (e.g., Protease)

  • Probiotic (e.g., Transbiotic)

This foundational stack targets four of the most common functional imbalances: impaired digestion, inflammation, toxicity, and microbiome dysregulation.

By addressing these root-level issues, practitioners can often resolve 70–80% of symptoms before ordering labs or layering additional supplements.


How It Works: Streamlined Protocols, Stronger Results

Transformation Enzyme’s formulas utilize a proprietary Enzyme Delivery System (EDS) to ensure targeted absorption and clinical efficacy. These aren’t generic digestive aids—they’re high-impact tools that support detox, immune modulation, and optimal nutrient uptake.

Practitioners using this trio report:

  • Improved patient adherence

  • Faster clinical outcomes

  • Reduced supplement fatigue

  • Simplified scripting and follow-up

And for practices, the benefits don’t stop at outcomes.


Enzymes Meet the Moment: Supporting GLP-1 Patients

With GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic becoming common in metabolic health, digestive side effects like reflux, constipation, and poor absorption are on the rise. Foundational enzymes offer a powerful support system for these patients.

Rawls noted, “We’re seeing better microbiome diversity and improved digestive markers when enzymes are added—even for patients on GLP-1s.”

This positions enzyme therapy as a clinical bridge—connecting pharmaceutical interventions with functional gut health support.


From Lab-Heavy to Symptom-Led Care

Another key shift? Starting patients on foundational enzyme protocols before running an exhaustive panel of tests.

Rawls encourages practitioners to reverse the script: let symptoms guide the initial plan, then use labs later to fine-tune. This approach cuts costs, reduces overwhelm, and builds trust through early wins.


Final Takeaway: Start Simple, Scale Strategically

Enzyme therapy isn’t just about digestion—it’s about unlocking better outcomes, reducing overwhelm, and building a more sustainable model of care.
