Gut Health
Healing Starts In Your Digestive System (Leaky Gut Syndrome)
LEAKY GUT SYNDROME. FOOD INTOLERANCE. SIBO (SMALL INTESTINAL BACTERIAL OVERGROWTH). AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS. YEAST. FUNGAL & PARASITIC INFECTIONS. FOOD ALLERGIES. ACID REFLUX. DIARRHEA. BLOATING. CONSTIPATION. FIBROMYALGIA. IBS, AND OTHERS.
Your gut is home to trillions of beneficial bacteria. You have 10 times more of these bacteria in your gastrointestinal system than you have cells in your body. This highly sophisticated system is where 80% of your immune system resides. 95% of your body’s serotonin (the “feel-good” hormone), is found not in the brain but in your gut.
Immune System
Your microbiome contains 100 trillion bacteria, makes up 80% of your immune system and contains 10x more bacterial cells than human cells.
Gut-Brain Connection
An estimated 40 million people in the United States experience some sort of anxiety-related disorder and as many as 30 million suffer from depression. Many of these brain and hormone problems have their roots in underlying gut health problems.
Conditions
The gut-brain axis is linked to depression, anxiety, autism, fatigue, brain fog & and other brain problems. The gut-immune axis is linked to triggering autoimmune and other inflammatory conditions.
