Gut Health & Nutrition

To turn your meals into fuel that powers everything your body must do in a day, your gut must break that meal down into teeny-tiny particles, small enough to be absorbed into the bloodstream and then circulated all around the body. For that to happen, your gut has to be in tip-top shape.

A gut that’s not digesting well is not able to absorb enough nutrients from food, and the nutrients that were supposed to power your day turn into more waste instead! Not only did those nutrients go down the drain, but now you’re a little malnourished too. Then your body is faced with having to decide which organs will get shorted on the nutrients they need to do their jobs. It’s impossible for your body to operate at 100% in this scenario. Not good, right?

Poor gut health can be caused by a number of different scenarios…poor diet, a simple case of food poisoning, food sensitivities you didn’t know about, medications, toxins, and a weak immune system. Given so many simple causes, it’s no surprise that most of us end up with poor gut health at some point in our lives.  If this pattern goes unchecked, it can lead to common digestive problems like bloating, heartburn or GERD, constipation, and diarrhea, as well as systemic symptoms including headaches, joint pain, and fatigue. Even worse, you can start to experience chronic nutrient deficiencies, autoimmune conditions, and a whole host of mood and hormone issues. The good news is that good gut health can often be restored completely, even if you’ve been suffering from gut problems for many years. Just imagine what it feels like when digestive problems go away, energy soars, aches & pains improve, and mood goes through the roof!
