Upstream goes further upstream: oral health, toxic load, nervous system dysregulation, and gut lining integrity. It's a whole-system protocol developed from Pedram Shojai's clinical practice, not assembled from generic wellness content.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"uc-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"uc-faq-q\"\u003eHow much time does it take each week?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"uc-faq-a\"\u003ePlan for 2–3 hours per week — roughly 30 minutes of video lessons and 1–2 hours implementing that week's protocol.
