We recently received this review on the Shoppe listing for Absorb Plus Amino - Coco-Choc flavor: "Unsweetened Coco-choc is not elemental, it has 3g of fiber/serving. I did 19 days on the elemental diet, taking CH4 and H2 measurements along the way with a Food Marble device. There was a clear spike in gas levels [...]
Can Biohacking be Related to Hair Loss? My cousin asked me to listen to a podcast on Biohacking & DNA Testing that she found really enlightening. So we listened to Gary Brecka as we drove to the lake, and every substance (in a specific form) he mentioned as being a game-changer, I would say, "That's [...]
In this article, we will discuss elemental diets and how to find the perfect elemental shake for your unique body. What Are Elemental Diets? Elemental diets are all about giving your body the nutrients it needs in an easy-to-absorb form, especially if you're struggling with digestion or nutrient absorption. They're like the ultimate fast-track to [...]
Herbs In ColonEaze~Move Each of the herbs in ColonEaze~Move provides a gentle, mild laxative effect. But they also support the liver, kidneys, spleen, gallbladder and detoxification pathways. When you're treating the cause of constipation, you don't just want to use herbs that stimulate a bowel movement. You want to look at why the body is [...]
My latest formulation for Imix, Trace Matrix, contains 70 fulvic ionic trace minerals that are now missing from our soil (thanks to pesticides, herbicides and monocrops). These minerals also used to be present in our water – when our water ran through natural rock and soil, and wasn’t extensively filtered and processed. Thus Trace Matrix [...]
I've been getting some questions from friends and family about MultiAbsorb Immune Booster, and that's when I realized that I had not done a separate post about it! I'd always lumped it together with MultiAbsorb Daily Essential. So first of all, here's a quick run-down on how I've been using MA Immune Booster myself: MultiAbsorb [...]
I received an email from a reader who had been using the QuikPlus Iron, but his iron level had dropped, and his hemoglobin increased only slightly. What might be the cause of this? Let's look at some possible reasons, or what might be going wrong, and how to fix it: 1. Are you taking an [...]
Sometimes I read interesting things on Quora, and this post caught my eye because the author's friend is from Iran, where they use rock sugar infused with saffron to calm nausea. At first she thought this was extremely weird - but Nabat sugar is a popular remedy throughout the middle east. Why? Then she realized [...]
MultiAbsorb Daily Essential and Immune Booster are two fabulous products (if I do say so myself!) that I formulated to: 1. NOT have to open 20 capsules per day to get what I needed for myself and my family 2. Get rid of all the fillers and flow agents contained in normal multivitamins 3. Have [...]
Join me in this video as I speak with Dr. Roy & Debbie Steinbock on the challenges and solutions for elemental diet success. Roy & Debbie have been prescribing and supporting thousands of clients through an elemental diet for over 15 years. They have tons of experience dealing with all the challenges people face and [...]
We often get this question - which version of Absorb Plus elemental shake should I use? Absorb Plus is an amazingly delicious, elemental diet shake comprised of the highest quality, natural, elemental (pre-digested) ingredients. Formulated by Jini Patel Thompson, Absorb Plus can be used for many purposes - allergy testing, clearing intestinal obstruction, bowel rest [...]
So I've seen a lot of orders come through the LTYG Shoppe, where people are buying BOTH ColonEaze~Firm and ColonEaze~Move. This is really puzzling to me, or perhaps more people than I realize have spastic colon...? I also wonder if y'all are confused about which one to use - perhaps I haven't explained it well [...]
Can you save time by taking your Absorb Plus shakes and probiotics together? The answer is yes! Just make sure you take any anti-pathogens, such as wild oregano oil, at least two hours away from probiotics (and food). I also want to emphasize how important it is to never mix Natren probiotics into your shake [...]
There are a few different ways to gain weight using Absorb Plus elemental diet shakes - and the methods differ depending on whether you need to keep the shakes elemental (enteral diet) or whether you can add regular foods and liquids to the shakes (half elemental diet, or just using as a supplement to regular [...]
I like to re-share this post every so often because I've received this question in various forms for YEARS now...does Absorb Plus create a candida problem? These questions seem to have the same underlying concerns, so here is an updated version of my answer - as well as a good representation of most people's unease. [...]
I'm thrilled to announce the NEW Absorb Plus Amino, a low-carb addition to the Absorb Plus family line! Absorb Plus Amino is a 100% natural, elemental (pre-digested for maximum absorption to the bloodstream within 20 minutes of ingestion) liquid protein shake. It is classified as an Elemental free-form amino acid formula because the protein component [...]
We recently tested the pH level of the 32 oz bottle of Bone Matrix, and due to it's higher concentration of minerals (most products contain far less minerals per bottle) the pH at its current concentration is 5.5 As you can see from the chart above, that may be a bit more acidic than you [...]
You may remember Episode 16 of the What Magnificence Podcast where Jini told the story of her mercury poisoning which led to massive hemorrhaging, spurring the creation of Absorb Plus. In that episode, she also described her near-death experience (NDE) and explored the difference between escapism and dissociation - a deep dive into pain control [...]
ColonEaze~Firm is my ideal stool bulking agent, formulated by me for Imix Nutrition, that relieves diarrhea by absorbing excess liquid, helping all those separate stool deposits clump/bind together, improving intestinal muscle tone, and helping to regulate/balance peristalsis. ColonEaze~Firm contains organic sprouted chia seed powder and organic psyllium seed powder. It does not contain psyllium husk. [...]
ColonEaze~Move is a stool softening agent to help relieve constipation and improve intestinal muscle tone and peristalsis. Specifically formulated to be gentle, yet effective, for people with sensitive bowels. If you've read my book, Listen To Your Colon, you'll know why soluble fiber is preferable to insoluble fiber. It helps maintain regularity, along with gentle [...]
I'm SO EXCITED about this new formulation for Imix Nutrition! These are my ideal formulas for bulking and softening stool to assist with regulating bowel movements. There is one version - FIRM - for people who tend towards diarrhea. And a second version - MOVE - for those who tend towards constipation. Some of you [...]
With Spring firmly upon us, you may already be following my Seasonal Allergy treatment protocol - but I also wanted to share the super easy way to hold off hay fever that I use every day. I spend 2-3 hours a day in the fully glory of nature with my horses. That's my Belgian mare, [...]
In 2019, I helped formulate an elemental diet shake for all of my lovely Australian and New Zealand readers, ElementGold. Formulated from the highest quality ingredients, ElementGold promotes the absorption of nutrients by presenting ingredients in forms that require the least work for the body to digest. Well, I'm excited to announce that ElementGold VEGAN [...]
MultiAbsorb in loose powder form means NO fillers, flow agents, preservatives, or artificial anything! Instead of taking 15-20 capsules per day to get all your supplements, you can just add 1 scoop of MultiAbsorb Daily Essential powder to water, juice, your protein shake, or fruit/veggie smoothie. MultiAbsorb Daily Essential contains all your trace minerals, daily [...]
I am SO thrilled to announce yet another product that I formulated because my family and I needed it! As I tell you about it, you'll realize why it's such a fabulous product and something everyone should have on hand... It's bad enough having to open 15 capsules a day to pour the contents into [...]
Hi! Savannah from LTYG Shoppe, and today I want to talk to you about MucosaCalm. This is a product Jini formulated which contains the ingredients that she feels are the best healers for the intestinal wall and mucosal lining - and highly likely to be well tolerated. If you’re having 3 or more bowel movements [...]
Looking for added muscle recovery, a solution to muscle cramping, and support? Introducing QuikPlus Muscle Matrix, a brand new product and part of the QuikPlus atom-sized mineral line. I formulated this product for myself, to be perfectly honest! As you may know, I have a bunch of horses so I'm often doing hard labour for [...]
I recently created this presentation about the formulation of Absorb Plus shakes on behalf of IMIX Nutrition, and it's chock full of good info - so of course, I wanted to share it with the LTYG community as well! I go into a bit of my backstory, being diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, and what drove [...]
Before launching my new QuikPlus line of atom-sized (nano, angstrom) minerals, I was having some trouble sourcing a supplier who could give me zinc in the concentration I required for Bone Matrix. I'd gathered LOTS of data supporting the importance of zinc in oral health - I found that having increased copper and zinc in [...]
Yes, you can take MucosaCalm along with any prescription medications. Regular licorice is contraindicated for steroids, but MucosaCalm contains only Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice, so it is safe to take with any drug. If you want to wean off the drugs (always wean gradually and slowly - consult your doctor about this) then you would take the [...]
I recently wrote a blog post, Chaga Medicinal Mushrooms for Crohn’s & Colitis, in which I delve into the health benefits of chaga mushrooms. Well, I decided to get creative in my consumption of chaga - which is how I created this "Mucosal Healing" tea. It’s a combination of Jini's favorite mucosal healing agents and [...]
Join me and Dane Johnson of CrohnsColitisLifestyle as we answer this reader question: "Can someone who does not have IBD or a gut disorder (and just wants to gain muscle) use Absorb Plus as their primary protein source?" Learn more about the Elemental (Bowel Rest) Diet: Download my FREE guide, What You Need to [...]
If you try to do a bowel rest diet using only whey protein (no carbohydrate component) you will quickly surpass your maximum daily protein limit whilst still feeling really hungry and tired. But more importantly, you will likely not gain any weight, so will remain very thin and weak, with low energy and lots of [...]
You asked, and we listened! We understand that your options are limited for elemental shakes. The options are even fewer for elemental shakes that taste good. We took that to heart, and I worked with Imix Nutrition to formulate not one but TWO delicious new unsweetened options! We think you'll love them as much as [...]
If you experience an increase in symptoms or diarrhea with MucosaCalm, you may attribute your reaction to Licorice. However, you need to keep in mind that the glycyrrhizin component of licorice has been removed from the licorice contained in MucosaCalm. Hence it only contains deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL). Glycyrrhizin is the component that has been "shown [...]
One of the awesome things about LTYG is the number of highly educated/intelligent readers I get - who then ask the best questions! Here's a recent Q&A exchange with a medical professional I wanted to share, as I think this information is beneficial to everyone who's using the QuikPlus Bone Matrix, or QuikPlus Silica (atom-sized/nano [...]
We often get the question - why are the minerals so low in Absorb Plus? Well, the amounts of all the minerals and vitamins in Absorb Plus are formulated for someone to be able to take a maximum of 12 servings per day, so to even get a daily therapeutic dose of vitamins and minerals you [...]
Absorb Element+ is the EU version of my elemental diet shake, Absorb Plus. It is now available in our newly launched UK LTYG Shoppe for all of our lovely UK and EU readers! Absorb Element+ is almost identical to the US version, Absorb Plus, it just does not contain vanadium or boron - as EU [...]
Although we sold the Mini-Minerals line for many years and I used it myself with good results, I also wondered why other products - like the Angstrom line and Dr. Carolyn Dean's line - tasted so much stronger. These other nano/angstrom/picometer/atom-sized minerals had an actual taste, whereas the Mini-Minerals line (Bone Support) tasted like water. [...]
We often receive this question from our readers: Should I add oil to my Absorb Plus shakes? What exactly are the benefits? Will it still be considered elemental? Cold-pressed oils are all compatible with the elemental diet, but look for one that is high in omega-3‘s for the anti-inflammatory effect. Most of the fat we [...]
As you may already know, I formulate the Absorb Plus elemental shakes for Imix Nutrition. And those of you who've been with me for a while, know that I periodically upgrade the formula as better ingredients become available, or new research is released. Well, I have recently made some upgrades to the vegan formula (which [...]
I knew that silica was important to promote healthy bones and teeth, as research shows that tiny silica particles could be used to repair damaged teeth and reduce sensitivity. But until I did more research I did not realize it also helps heal wounds and build connective tissue, supports cardiovascular health and revitalizes skin, hair [...]
A major benefit of QuikPlus Bone Matrix is that is uses atom-sized minerals which are the most ideal size and form for absorption - because they do not require digestion. They can be absorbed simply by holding in your mouth, as they are absorbed through the mucosal tissue. Instead of regular powdered minerals - of which [...]
These atom-sized minerals are the ideal size and form for absorption and do not even require digestion - they can be absorbed through the lining of the mouth, making them ideal for those with digestive issues. You may have read my blog post back in October announcing the nano-sized line of minerals I had been [...]
When your digestive tract is inflamed or ulcerated, it becomes very difficult for your body to digest food, or to absorb any nutrients from your food. Your diet can become so restricted that you can only tolerate five to ten foods. In extreme states, you cannot eat any normal foods at all. I have gone [...]
As elemental diets grow in popularity - especially for use with SIBO - I've received a few emails from people (and doctors) suggesting that Absorb Plus (Original formula) is not actually an elemental diet product. And that only products with free-form amino acids as their protein source qualify as "elemental". So what's the difference between [...]
We often receive questions from readers who are trying Absorb Plus, with no prior experience using an elemental diet. In the below featured video, I get hands on and show you how to mix Absorb Plus properly for best tasting results and maximum efficiency. I also talk about the different types of healthy oils you [...]
UPDATE: These are now available! Read more about QuikPlus in this blog post. My family has been using atom-sized minerals - rather than regular powdered minerals - since 2008. In 2010 (after testing them on myself for 2 years) I first told my readers about them. Other names for these super tiny minerals are: Angstrom, [...]
We finally have an elemental diet shake (that Jini helped formulate) available in our Australian LTYG Shoppe for all of our lovely Australian and New Zealand readers. It's called ElementGold and it has FSMP approval - so you might be able to get it covered under your health insurance plan. Your doctor can also order [...]
If you've been using the elemental diet shake I formulated - Absorb Plus - for any length of time, you'll know that I am always on the lookout for ways to improve the product. Sometimes people are not too happy with me, because certain changes - like when I switched the maltodextrin to a non-GMO [...]
