Understanding the 3-Phase Protocol Structure
Every protocol generated by PraxPilot is organized into three sequential treatment phases. This structure mirrors how experienced functional practitioners approach complex cases.
Phase 1 — Stabilization
Goal: Create physiological stability before addressing deeper issues.
This phase typically focuses on:
Correcting major nutrient deficiencies
Calming acute inflammation
Supporting digestion and nutrient absorption
Stabilizing blood sugar
Supporting sleep and stress resilience
Think of this as preparing the body to respond well to more targeted interventions.
Phase 2 — Targeted Correction
Goal: Address the root physiological drivers identified in the case.
This phase may include:
Microbiome and gut repair support
Hormonal balancing strategies
Mitochondrial and metabolic support
Detoxification pathway support
Deeper nutrient restoration
Patients who have been stabilized in Phase 1 typically respond better to these interventions.
Phase 3 — Maintenance
Goal: Sustain progress and support long-term health.
This phase focuses on:
Maintaining nutrient balance
Long-term gut and immune support
Reinforcing dietary habits
Stress management and lifestyle strategies
Why This Structure Matters
Applying interventions in the right sequence often determines how well a patient responds. Phased protocols help practitioners prioritize logically, improve patient compliance, and present a clear, professional care plan.
You can adjust, rename, add, or remove phases at any time in the protocol editor.
