Gut Health in Racine, WI to Maintain Your Balance
Our gut feeds us, protects us from invaders (immune system), detoxifies, digests and absorbs minerals, and produces all of our vitamins. Our gut and brain are derived from the same embryonic tissue, thereby establishing the brain-gut connection. Our gut is our second brain.
Have you ever had a "gut feeling"? Did you know that 90% of the serotonin in your body is located in your gut? The gut holds 80% of our immune system including housing our tonsils, appendix, etc).
Is your gut landscape healthy? A healthy gut looks like a thick forest with tall trees covered in a thick band of bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast, parasites, and protozoa. Without this thick band of well-balanced microflora, we would perish. Do you have a healthy gut flora? Is there yeast overgrowth or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)? Do you have to take antacids for symptoms of heartburn?
You are what you eat and digest. Are you extracting the nutrients from whole foods to recharge and reenergize your body? Are you producing enough digestive enzymes to break down your food? Did you know that all enzymes are made of minerals? If you are mineral deficient then it is nearly impossible to digest you food.
It is imperative that we understand the importance of the role of our gut and immune system. If you want to achieve optimal health you must embark on a program to enhance detoxification, in large part, by optimizing gut and liver health.
