Happy gut, happy life

One thing your Naturopath really wants to know about is how you poo and everything else in between. This is essentially a report card of how well you are meeting the outside world, breaking down, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating wastes. Even if you think you’re feeling fine, what is passing through your bowels, the regularity, consistency, and discomfort are key indicators to how your body feels on the inside.

Why does this matter? Because this is the primal level where all health or disease begins. It is from here we either get a strong or weak immune system, absorb optimal or suboptimal nutrients and create an environment of microbes ready to switch on or switch off disease.

Gut healing is a process many clients go on as their first steps to improving health and are generally pleasantly surprised how much better they feel in terms of their emotional wellbeing and energy-without having to manage that mid-afternoon bloat or cramp, the IBS that forces you to have to leave the dinner early, or the anxiety from not being able to go regularly. Gut repair resets the microbiome balance, balances enzymes and signals needed to digest and move your bowel regularly. It can also help reduce species that may be impacting mood, sleep, weight gain and immune mediated conditions such as thyroid health or psoriasis.

Take some time for yourself and join me to gain a valuable insight into a new way of trusting your gut.
