Keep Your Gut Healthy

Want to Fix Your Gut? Improve your Digestion? Get better Nutrient Absorption?

It's not new that your gut is connected to your brain. This is actually called the brain-gut connection and it explains why:
  • You get butterflies in your stomach before going on stage
  •  You can get nervous or get stomach cramps before a hard workout or race
  • Antidepressants cause nausea and stomach upset, and stomach upset can depress you
  • Particular foods cause brain fog or sleepiness
  • Why food intolerance or gut inflammation can cause serious behavioral issues
  • Why overeating when you’re anxious helps you produce extra "feel good" chemicals
  •  And a few more…

The gut is a long, twisted garden hose that extends from your mouth to your butt. And the gut is way more complex than we think.

Some of the common causes for gut issues are:
  1. Bacterial Imbalances
    With over 100 trillion cells & 3 pounds of bacteria, your gut is alive. Problems start when your system becomes imbalanced. It can feel like gas, bloating, diarrhea, undigested food, thyroid issues, autoimmune disease and so on. You might also have Candida. Oregano oil, Berberine and grapefruit seed extract can help
  2. Leaky Gut
    You pretty much have holes in your intestinal lining. So things pass through that should not. This can lead to inflammation, mal-absorption of nutrients, food intolerances and so forth. It can be caused by lectins found in certain grains, legumes and nuts, stress and more. Try to seal it with compounds that heal your gut, such as bone broth, which provide gelatin, glycine and glutamine. Colostrum can also help fix a leaky gut.
  3. Natural Gut Irritants
    Some plants have natural defense mechanisms where leaves are coated to protect the plant and therefore, those plants are harder for humans to be digested. Example: Quinoa. It is coated with what are called saponins. It's almost an indigestible soapy coating that helps protect the quinoa as it passes through a digestive tract so that it will be excreted intact and thus be spread and planted. What to do? Rinse. Rinse. Rinse. Then Soak them over night. Rinse again.

Overall - What can you do? Take good care of your gut! Here a few tips:
  • Get good bacteria into your gut (fermented foods, sauerkraut, kefir, raw yogurt to name a few)
  • Your diet should include a wide variety of nutrient-dense foods
  • Avoid any refined sugars and carbs
  • No vegetable oils (canola, corn or soy oil!)
  • Chew each and every bite of food at least 25 times!
