The gut is the cornerstone of our health with the responsibility of nutrient absorption, vitamin and neurotransmitter production, and maintenance of a protective barrier between the environment and your body. It does these essential tasks through a robust and diverse gut microbiome. Infections or imbalances in the gut lead to a stressed body susceptible to physical (e.g. weight gain, blood sugar and hormone imbalances) and neurological disorders (e.g. anxiety and brain fog). A damaged gut barrier (A.K.A. leaky gut) can result in toxins leaking into your blood that create inflammation, and can lead to autoimmune disease. Learn how good gut health can be achieved through mindful eating; an anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense diet; adequate sleep; reduced toxin exposure; and exercise.
