RESTORE180™

RESTORE180 was developed from Dr. Bill Rawls’ own experience with chronic Lyme and includes high-potency botanical extracts selected for broad-spectrum microbial support. 

Rather than relying on a single herb or targeting one organism at a time, RESTORE180 is formulated to harness the synergy of multiple botanical extracts, combining herbs that have been studied for activity across a range of microbes commonly discussed in the context of chronic Lyme, coinfections, and other tick-borne illness. This broad-spectrum approach is designed to help address microbial stress while also supporting cellular resilience, detoxification, and the body’s natural defenses. That makes RESTORE180 particularly relevant for people navigating complex, overlapping health challenges where microbial stress may be only one part of the picture.

This broad-spectrum coverage is one of the key reasons RESTORE180 is so well suited for the complexity of chronic Lyme and tick-borne illness, where multiple pathogens are often present at the same time.

This is one of the most common questions we receive and an important one.

Many of our members take RESTORE180 alongside their current medications. That said, we strongly advise and recommend sharing our complete ingredient list with your prescribing physician before starting the program so they can review for any potential contraindications specific to your medications and health history.

If you are taking prescription medications, managing a medical condition, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, please keep your healthcare provider informed both before and during the program. This ensures your care remains coordinated and allows for any necessary adjustments along the way.

Yes, while RESTORE180 is not a specialized mold protocol, many of the program's core components directly support the body's ability to detoxify from mold and mycotoxin exposure.

Specific elements within RESTORE180 that support mold detoxification include:

• Mitochondrial Support — provides key nutrients that support cellular energy and detox pathways
• Pure Chlorella — promotes natural body detoxification
• The Vital Plan Diet Guide — a structured dietary approach that reduces the overall toxic burden on the body

In addition, the adaptogenic herbal formulas, including HPA Balance and Adaptogen Recovery, help restore cellular health and resilience, which is essential for anyone recovering from the cellular stress that mold exposure creates.

Many of our members navigating both Lyme and mold exposure have found meaningful support through RESTORE180 as part of their broader recovery approach.

RESTORE180 is a foundational program designed to restore your health at the cellular level while simultaneously suppressing pathogens. That foundation is consistent for everyone, but how you build on top of it is uniquely yours.

Every member comes to RESTORE180 from a different place. Some need more support for joint pain. Others need additional calming support for neuroLyme. Others may need deeper gut rebalancing or more targeted detoxification. The program is designed with this flexibility in mind and the foundation remains the same, but there is room to optimize based on your individual needs and how your body responds.

You are never alone in navigating those adjustments. Our Vital Plan Health Coaches are here to help you personalize your approach throughout the program. If you are working with your own medical specialist, they can collaborate alongside your care as well.

Yes! Absolutely. RESTORE180 is designed to work alongside your existing care, even if you are currently working with a Lyme specialist or another healthcare provider.

If your specialist has already recommended specific supplements or herbs, your Vital Plan Health Coach can help you review both protocols side by side, identifying any overlap or duplication and helping you streamline your approach so you're not doubling up unnecessarily. The goal is a clean, coordinated plan that gives your body exactly what it needs, nothing more, nothing less.

As a RESTORE180 member you receive three one-on-one coaching calls, one per phase. We recommend using your Phase 1 coaching call to discuss your current protocol and get personalized guidance on how to begin RESTORE180 in a way that works best for your specific situation.

Your Vital Plan Health Coach is here to support you every step of the way.

Yes you can. Many of our members come to RESTORE180 without a Lyme specialist or integrative doctor, and that is completely okay.

We do recommend maintaining a relationship with a primary care physician throughout the program, both for routine lab work and in the event any medical needs arise. However, you will not be navigating this journey alone.

Your Vital Plan Health Coach will guide you through all six months of the program, helping you understand each phase, troubleshoot challenges, and stay on track. While our coaches do not provide medical advice, their goal is to make sure you feel supported, informed, and set up for success every step of the way.

Yes — a positive test is not required to benefit from RESTORE180.

If you are experiencing persistent or chronic symptoms, your body is telling you something important. Regardless of whether testing has confirmed a specific diagnosis, RESTORE180 addresses the underlying factors that drive chronic illness at the cellular level, suppressing stealth pathogens, restoring cellular health, calming the nervous system, supporting detoxification, and rebalancing the gut.

Addressing these root causes consistently over six months can lead to meaningful and lasting improvement in chronic, persistent symptoms – even without a confirmed diagnosis.

You are not alone and you are not out of options.

It is actually very common for people to find Dr. Rawls and Vital Plan after years (sometimes decades) of searching for answers. While we cannot guarantee specific results, we have seen RESTORE180 graduates who had been sick for 20 years or more finally experience meaningful improvement within just six months.

For many of these members, that progress is the turning point. It gives them the confidence to keep going, the momentum to continue with herbal therapy, and the hope that lasting recovery is truly possible.

Six months may not complete your journey. But for most people, it is enough to know that something is finally working and that makes all the difference.

You can view success stories from our RESTORE180 graduates in our community — the Vital Plan Network. 

Yes, even if you are highly sensitive or managing a complex condition like MCAS, you are still a candidate for RESTORE180.

The Vital Plan team has experience supporting members with heightened sensitivities and will work with you to create a slower, more gradual onboarding process. Your Health Coach may recommend:

• Following a low-histamine diet to reduce reactivity during the program
• Introducing the Phase 1 formulas extra slowly (one formula at a time) to allow your body to adjust
• Adjusting the pacing of Phase 2 and Phase 3 supplements based on how your body responds

Your onboarding approach will be discussed and personalized during your one-on-one Phase 1 coaching call. We can also modify your subscription delivery schedule to align with however slowly you need to introduce the supplements.

The goal is to meet you exactly where you are and support you at a pace that feels safe and manageable for your body.

RESTORE180 addresses chronic illness at the cellular level, which means the benefits our graduates experience span a wide range of symptoms. When asked to identify the single area where they experienced the most relief after six months, here is what our graduates reported:

• 9.1/10 average program rating
• 71% report significant improvement in just the first six months
• 86% increase in confidence in their ability to heal
• Participants most commonly report improvements in energy, mental clarity, sleep, digestion, and joint comfort.
  

These results reflect the real experiences of people who have completed the full six-month program. Individual results will vary, but the breadth of improvement across so many different symptom categories speaks to the power of addressing root cause cellular health rather than chasing individual symptoms.

We invite you to explore our graduate success stories — real accounts from real members who have overcome some of the most challenging and complex symptoms, including:

Neurological Lyme, POTS, debilitating pain, uveitis, migraines, fatigue, MS symptoms, fibromyalgia, insomnia, Long COVID, chronic gut issues, Epstein-Barr Virus, brain fog, MCAS, and more.

Their stories are proof that recovery is possible — even after years of searching for answers.

Dr. Rawls drew on much of the Buhner protocol in his own recovery from chronic Lyme and chronic illness — a journey he documented in his books Unlocking Lyme and The Cellular Wellness Solution. RESTORE180 builds upon that foundation with a structured, phased approach: first calming the nervous system, then supporting gut health and detoxification, and then introducing stronger, more concentrated antimicrobial herbs in Phase 3.

It's worth noting that RESTORE180 includes antimicrobial properties from day one. However, the stronger formulas are intentionally introduced in month 5 — after the nervous system has had time to calm, the body has detoxed more thoroughly, and the gut has begun to rebalance. This sequencing allows the body to restore cellular health one phase at a time, in the order it needs most.

Additionally, all RESTORE180 ingredients are third-party certified and verified for quality and purity. When assembling the Buhner protocol independently, the quality and potency of individual products can vary significantly. Learn more about Vital Plan's quality standards here.

The complete ingredient list for RESTORE180 is available here.

Please note that because RESTORE180 is a phased subscription program, you will not receive all formulas at once. Each month, Vital Plan ships the formulas specific to that phase of your program.

Navigating the ups and downs of recovery is something our team is here to help with. There are several ways we support you:

• Personal coaching calls — you receive three(3) one-on-one calls with a Vital Plan Health Coach, one per phase
• Group Coaching Calls — ongoing group calls take place in our private community, the Vital Plan Network, with replays always available
• Customer support — reach us by phone at 800-951-2414, by email at info@vitalplan.com, or via private chat in the Vital Plan Network app

You are never navigating this alone.

Symptom relief varies from person to person, everyone comes to RESTORE180 from a different place in their journey. That said, many members report sleeping better and experiencing more emotional bandwidth within the first month.

Some participants notice small but meaningful shifts within the first few weeks — improved sleep, clearer thinking, steadier energy, or digestive changes. For others, especially those who have been dealing with health challenges for a long time, progress may unfold more gradually as the body works through deeper layers of repair.

Part of the RESTORE180 process is learning to recognize the early signals that your body is beginning to rebalance. Small improvements often build steadily into more noticeable gains over time.

What our graduates report:
Based on participant follow-up surveys:

• 71% report significant improvement by six months
• 54% increase in understanding of their condition
• 86% increase in confidence in their ability to heal
