“All disease begins in the gut.”
Hippocrates said this over 2,000 years ago, and it is still relevant today. Strong digestive function is critical in achieving and maintaining overall health.
Since the gut plays a major role in the immune system, it’s extremely important to eat wisely, digest properly, reduce inflammation and eliminate pathogens in the gastrointestinal tract (GI Tract). It is also important to attend to the adrenal glands. Adrenal depletion reduces our ability to fight GI infections.
The Gut-Brain Connection
Reducing stress is also a vital step in strengthening the gut’s immune response. If you suffer from depression, anxiety or other mood disorders, healing your gut will positively affect your brain. An unhealthy gut can be a disaster for your hormones, immune system, brain and skin. Therefore, testing the gut is highly recommended for most people, especially those with the following conditions:
- Diarrhea
- Loose stools
- Constipation or hard/small balls
- Gas
- Bloating
- Abdominal pain
- Acid reflux
- Heartburn
- Frequent burping
- Allergies
- Weight gain
- Depression
- Fatigue
- Skin issues
- Craving sweets
- Headaches
- Joint/ muscle pain
- Unstable blood sugar
- Recurrent colds/flu
- Autoimmune disease
- Chronic throat, nose, and sinus issues
