DIGESTIVE HEALTH, INFLAMMATION, WEIGHT GAIN, INSULIN RESISTANCE & CHRONIC DISEASE

Did you know that condition of your digestive system is directly related to your health? What Happens In The Gut Doesn't Stay In The Gut!

DISEASE BEGINS IN THE GUT!!

For instance:

Optimal stomach acid is essential for breakdown of food, digestion and absorption. Decreased stomach acid levels slows digestion and absorption.

Dysbiosis: Just a fancy term for a disruption in the normal flora in the GI track

This can be caused by unhealthy eating habits, antibiotic use or infection.

A disruption in the stomach acid and or normal flora can lead to decreased motility, intestinal permeability, malabsorption, inflammation and eventually disease.
