Gut Health

Your Gut - The Epicenter

Your gut, your second brain, the source of your immune system, the source of everything! By now you have probably heard someone talk about how important your gut health is for your overall wellness. If you haven’t yet, everyone is telling the truth, our digestive tract is where ALL disease begins. Cancer, eczema/psoriasis, weight gain, autoimmune disorders, heartburn, allergies, asthma, depression, bowel disorders, heart disease, the list goes on and on.  Why does it feel like the gut is suddenly a hot topic?  In the U.S we are sicker than we have ever been and our food quality is very poor. Our lives are full of stress and many Americans lead very sedentary lives. This type of lifestyle affects our guts and can make our digestive tract become “leaky,” also called intestinal permeability. When we have a leaky gut, undigested food particles and medications or supplements enter into our blood stream. Our immune system recognizes this and it sets off an immune response, sending our bodies into a tailspin!  Check out the graphic below to see how Leaky Gut begins in your body.

Kids and adults are turning to their medical providers looking for answers.  Unfortunately, many traditional providers can only offer medications for your symptoms. Yeast infection, or candida overgrowth?  Here is a prescription. Constipation, rash, acne, heartburn, asthma?  Prescription, prescription, prescription!  There are times when a prescription can save someone’s life, but when dealing with issues related to your gut health, listening to the patient, offering some lifestyle adjustments and supplements will do the trick and can eliminate the issue permanently. Having a leaky gut affects your whole body and getting treated by someone who is an expert in gut health is essential.
