What this phase does

Defend is the maintenance phase — and the phase most customers stay in once they reach it.

Defend is the maintenance phase — and the phase most customers stay in once they reach it. A monthly rhythm of probiotic sachets and minerals, the Nourish stack continuing alongside, and the Incubator for at-home yogurt culture.

Defend isn't an end-point. It's the running protocol of someone whose gut works — and the reason the Monthly Protocol is a subscription: most customers who complete a reset convert to the monthly rhythm within ninety days.

Customers in Defend report a particular shift: gut work stops being a project. The box arrives, the rhythm continues, and the ecosystem holds. That's what the phase is for.

Where to start

Defend is one phase.
The protocol is the sequence.
