Many conditions can stem from poor gastrointestinal health as this is where all our nutrients are absorbed, 70% of our immune system resides and 90% of our serotonin (happy and feel good hormone) is produced.
This is why the gut is knows as the “second brain” and keeping it in good health will have a tremendous impact on all other systems in the body. To restore optimal function and treat digestive dysfunction, a gut healing protocol will follow the 4Rs:
- Remove- cause of inflammation or irritation (inflammatory foods and food sensitivities, stressors, or bacterial or yeast overgrowth
- Replace – the body’s natural defense mechanisms that are found in the gut
- Repopulate- with healthy bacterial
- Repair – the lining of the gut and regenerate any remaining damage
If you struggle with any digestive dysfunction, there are many natural solutions that can help restore this essential system to its optimal function and help you regain your comfortable life style again.
