RCP Resources

What is involved in the Root Cause Protocol (RCP)?

We talk more about the nuts and bolts of the Root Cause Protocol here. The protocol involves a series of stages split into ‘Stops’ and ‘Starts’. It’s designed to be largely self-guided/led and a way to support your body back to balance itself.

This page contains the outline of specific products we use or suggest for our clients to implement the Root Cause Protocol.

This list of products will assist you to implement the protocol; they have been split into their specific stages in the protocol.

There are some additional suggestions within these resources that are outside of the RCP Manual, these have come from Kristan and Teresa’s personal experience and sometimes clients have also been able to see benefits from these products (these products are indicated by ‘**’).

    Digest Basic

    Purchase options:

    Trienza

    Purchase options:

    Please note, the chewable option may have citric acid, a ‘stop’ within the RCP. We believe this is a small amount and a balance between the benefit of properly digested food, and the ‘less than ideal’ inclusion of the citric acid is a decision that will need to be personally made.

    Kristan still chose to use these with her youngest daughter when she wasn’t able to use capsules or powder as it ended up a choice between nothing or something not 100% ideal. She was careful with choosing to use it only when she felt needed – sometimes it was often and other times it was rare.

    When her daughter had learned to take capsules at 7 years old, she swapped to that version, but in that time they have swapped to rarely needing them.

    Betaine HCL

    Purchase options:

    Apple Cider Vinegar

    Purchase options:

    • Available from local health food stores – ideally something organic and ‘with the mother’ eg Braggs

     

    Fermented Foods

    Purchase options:

    • Water and milk kefir, kombucha and sauerkraut are available from health food stores and even IGAs/independent supermarkets around Australia
    • Local communities often have people who will share the starter cultures (eg scobies for kombucha or grains for water kefir) so you can start up your own fermenting brews. Connecting with others in similar interests is rewarding on a deeper level too if you can!

    Probiotics

    Kristan and Teresa have found different probiotics can be beneficial, but it really varies person to person as to results.

    The following are listed in no particular order.

    Some products they have used include:

    Please note that the product listed with ‘candida balance’ in the title is not recommended for the purpose of ‘fighting candida’ as such. The focus of the RCP is to strengthen the host, NOT to attack the guest. This product has beneficial probiotics and inclusion of colostrum and apolactoferrin. 

    Kristan has personally found this helped her even though she had no particular signs of candida overgrowth nor testing to suggest it existed.
