The Foundational Program
Live Clean Method™
16 weeks · Learn to steward your own physiology
Live Clean is the foundation of the work at Systems That Heal. It is a single, structured 16-week container that treats your biology as one connected system and moves it through the sequence it requires — regulate, repair, release, then re-integrate. At its core, this is a program in learning how to steward your own physiology.
Who This Is For
You have seen multiple practitioners, but no one has owned the whole system — or the order the work needs to happen in.
You sense your symptoms are connected, yet your care has been delivered in pieces: hormones here, gut there, supplements elsewhere.
You are over-informed and under-integrated — ready for structure instead of another stack of protocols.
You want to learn how to read and support your own body, so that healing becomes yours to steward.
The Complete Arc
The Sequence Is the Medicine
Each movement creates the conditions for the next. You cannot repair a system still in survival, or release through a gut that is not sealed. The order itself is part of the medicine.
- 01
Regulate
Steady the system. Settle blood sugar and the nervous system so the body can move out of survival mode.
- 02
Repair
Rebuild the terrain — gut integrity, structural repair, and the foundations of metabolic flexibility.
- 03
Release
Open drainage, then safely clear what's been stored. Clearance follows capacity.
- 04
Re-Integrate
Sustain the gains. Learn to read and trust your own body as the final authority.

What You Learn
Movement by Movement
Every stage teaches you to understand, to do, and to become — so you always know where you are, why it matters, and what comes next.
Regulate
Steady the ground — blood sugar and the nervous system.
- —The sequence law: why regulation must precede repair
- —Blood sugar physiology — insulin, cortisol, leptin
- —Food as information, not just calories
- —The protein anchor, supportive fats, and plate logic
- —Circadian rhythm, sleep, light, and gentle movement
- —The autonomic nervous system and the felt shift from survival to safety
Become an observer and early partner: "My body responds when I create the conditions."
Repair
Rebuild the gut and deepen fat adaptation.
- —Why repair follows regulate — sealing before clearing
- —Gut lining, permeability, and the gut-cell connection
- —The microbiome as terrain, not a battleground
- —Fat adaptation and the benefits of ketones
- —Therapeutic fasting: the 18:6 rationale
- —Glucose–ketone observation and reading your own metabolism
Become someone whose body is actively rebuilding: "I can nourish my body into healing."
Release
Open drainage, then safely clear stored load.
- —Why release requires repair first — safe mobilization
- —The detoxification system and drainage pathways
- —The fat-cell vault, lipolysis, and fat as a lever
- —Vagal toning and the restorative sanctuaries
- —Hydration as clinical infrastructure
- —How to modulate intensity and read detox responses
Become capable of releasing what was stored: "I can let go, safely."
Re-Integrate
Personalize, sustain, and live it independently.
- —Healing as rhythm, not a single event
- —The reintroduction method and personal discernment
- —Observing and interpreting your own responses
- —Personalization and long-term metabolic flexibility
- —The sustainable baseline and recovering after drift
- —Sustaining sovereignty without dependence on the program
Become a person who reads and partners with their own body for life: "I don't need the program to stay well."
The Curriculum Rhythm
Every movement develops the same six things in you: Understand the why, Do the practice, witness the physiological Change, Demonstrate the markers, Feel the emotional shift, and Become the person who can hold it. Once you recognize the rhythm, the whole program becomes easy to navigate.

Years in practice
“I got my brain back.”
I'm 76 years old. I wasn't even trying, but somehow I lost 16 pounds. My brain feels clear — I can remember things. I'm living a better life. This is real healthcare.
“Methodical, like a sniper rifle.”
I came to Dr. Courtney after two other functional medicine doctors just pumped my gut full of supplements. Her approach was very methodical. We worked first on habits and diet to combat the toxins at a cellular level. Life-changing, to say the least.
“I stopped losing my words.”
For years I was gaining weight and having brain fog — I'd stop mid-sentence trying to find another word. With a family history of Alzheimer's, that terrified me. I took on the commitment to heal my body, and to understand it.
“Seven doctors. Then one blood test.”
I had seen 7 doctors in a year and a half. The first thing she did was run a full blood panel and tell me what my problem actually was — that my immune system is controlled by my gut, and tied to what I eat. I feel better, think better, sleep better.
“A master health Sherpa.”
In under a year I've shed over 30 pounds after years of trying without success, increased my overall health, and learned significant keys to self-care that have become daily practice.
“I finally have my body back.”
I'd been struggling with belly fat since menopause. Courtney put me on a program focused on supporting my detox and estrogen metabolism. I'd recommend her to anyone wanting to understand menopause without feeling crazy.
“I never post reviews. Not ever.”
I developed eosinophilic esophagitis — tough to treat, tougher to cure. Nine months of steroids didn't solve it. I was skeptical, but everything she said made total sense. She understood the problem immediately.
“Fifty pounds, and less inflammation.”
Working with Courtney changed how my body responds. The weight came off and the rheumatoid inflammation came down alongside it.
“Positively life altering.”
Her program is so well structured and completely customized. Her approach is direct, clear, and supported by her personal time investment and a wealth of materials — way beyond what I expected.
“She fills the void in medicine.”
Dr. Jonson fills a void in the medical profession — someone who looks at the whole system instead of the one number that's flagged.
“Joint pain gone. Heartburn gone. 45 pounds gone.”
It wasn't one fix. Everything moved together once we understood what was actually driving it.
“The chronic UTIs finally stopped.”
Years of antibiotics treated the episode. This was the first time anyone treated the reason it kept coming back.
“My nervous system came back online.”
It was a real journey of nervous system healing. Regulation had to come before anything else could hold.
“Thirty pounds in four months.”
Structured, explained, and sustainable — not a diet I had to white-knuckle.
“We worked through it as a team.”
My husband and I both worked with Courtney on metabolic and autoimmune issues. She treated us as a household, not two charts.
