Your Gut Matters
What if I told YOU that the HEALTH of your GUT can impact BOTH your BODY and MIND?
Perhaps you’ve never considered the role your GUT plays in your overall HEALTH.
To begin, there is a vital link between the GUT and the BRAIN.
Being intentional here can be a complete game changer in your physical and mental health.
A large percentage of serotonin is produced in your GUT so caretaking this part of your temple is extremely beneficial for mental WELL BEING.
The GUT actually produces 50 hormones, regulating various functions within the body.
In terms of immune strength, a healthy gut microbiome leads to strong protective defenses.
My point? It’s CRUCIAL we NURTURE this DELICATELY DESIGNED area. It impacts our entire BEING.
It’s NOT SIMPLY just WHAT WE EAT either!
Our QUALITY of SLEEP, HYDRATION LEVELS, FOOD CHOICES, CHEMICALS, MEDICATIONS, ANTIBIOTICS, STRESS LEVELS, MOVEMENT and more ALL play a role in the HEALTH of our GUT MICROBIOME.
SOOOOOOOO.......WHAT CAN WE DO without falling victim to OVERWHELM?
First off, let’s BREATHE.
5 DEEP INHALES, PAUSE for 7 BREATHS and 8 DEEP EXHALES.
Stress can alter our GUT FLORA, so it’s important to use strategies like this throughout the day when faced with stressors.
MICRO MOVEMENTS. One SMALL STEP at a time.
Here’s a sampling of ideas and a great place to BEGIN.
Certain foods encourage a healthy microbiome, while other foods destroy vital gut flora. The FOOD we fuel our body with MATTERS.
This is ONE reason I will ALWAYS recommend eating ORGANIC and NON-GMO WHOLE FOODS.
THE CLOSER to EARTH the BETTER! Think NOT FROM A BAG but from SOIL. Pesticides and genetically modified foods HARM your gut health.
Eliminating or at least reducing (when you begin) HYDROGENATED OILS can help keep GOOD GUT BACTERIA INTACT. Think eliminating FRIED foods and SEED OILS.
And PROCESSED SUGAR? The TRUTH is it simply eliminates the GOOD BACTERIA in your gut.
It does MORE than simply ADD WEIGHT.
It even leads to MORE SUGAR CRAVINGS creating more imbalances.
YES, there are STILL COUNTLESS SCRUMPTIOUS FOODS you can ENJOY without sacrificing your GUT HEALTH.
You’ll need to make some IMPORTANT DECISIONS, though, if you want to LOOK and FEEL your BEST!
We can go on pretending FOOD and other various CHOICES make little difference to your health but that would be a LIE.
I did THIS for YEARS, so I’m a PROFESSIONAL on the TOPIC⬆
I was OVERWEIGHT, INFLAMED, FATIGUED and so SAD and DEPRESSED that my doctor
put me on a highly POPULAR P H A R M A MED.
Sadly my unrelenting symptoms only INCREASED.
Finally I had ENOUGH with feeling MISERABLE and I became my own ADVOCATE.
I took a deep dive into EVERYTHING I PUT into my body. EVERYTHING.
It was a journey of HEALING, BUT focusing on my GUT HEALTH was a BIG part of that HEALING.
You are NOT A VICTIM but an OVERCOMER.
By making consistent, intentional adjustments, YOU CAN POSITIVELY IMPACT YOUR GUT
HEALTH leading to greater WELLNESS both PHYSICALLY and MENTALLY. Here’s another way I love nurturing my GUT HEALTH ⬇
A PROBIOTIC/PREBIOTIC/POSTBIOTIC SUPPLEMENT supports balance in your GUT. MY PERSONAL FAVORITE? doTERRA’S PB RESTORE and PB ASSIST.
Both are prebiotic/probiotic (with RESTORE also including a postbiotic) and double encapsulated, enabling them to make it through the stomach acid. HIP! HIP! 🙌
