GUT HEALTH

Why all disease starts with digestive health

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. You could say that you’re more bacteria than human. This highly sophisticated system is where 80 percent of your immune system resides. Ninety-five percent of your body’s serotonin, the body’s “feel-good” hormone, is found not in the brain, but right in your gut. It’s no wonder that your gut is referred to in scientific literature as the “second brain.”

Conditions like leaky gut syndrome, diarrhea, food intolerance, constipation SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) as well as yeast, fungal and parasitic infections are very common and often unaddressed conditions.
