Hosted by Aisha Harley, the conversation featured insights from Louise Rose, ND, Mica Carew, ND, LAc; Ariana Harley and Will Wan, LAc, who examined the formula from clinical, energetic, and traditional Chinese medicine perspectives. Dr. Louise explained the antimicrobial ingredients in GX Assist and how the formula can support digestive cleansing and microbial balance when used in short cycles. The panel also explored the energetic properties of the oils, with Dr. Mica describing the blend as protective and empowering, while Ariana highlighted its connection to emotional boundaries and clearing stagnant energy. The group discussed pulsing GX Assist protocols, including the practice of using it around the full moon, and emphasized the importance of supporting the microbiome afterward with probiotics. Panelists also shared personal experiences using GX Assist for digestive upset, travel support, Candida balance, and skin health. The episode concluded with reminders about the Month 3 Reset Program, upcoming educational calls, and new wellness offerings designed to support the next phase of the journey. 🌿 Key Takeaways Gut Cleansing & Microbial Balance GX Assist is designed to support microbial balance within the gastrointestinal tract.
