I am a total research geek that has been dabbling in or digging into various health topics for 19 years … no degrees or certifications in the health industry, but a mighty knowledge built on curiosity alone! My curiosity started with attempting to figure our what was wrong with me. I had “unexplainable” medical conditions that got every obscure yet totally vague diagnosis code in the book – idiopathic this or viral that. Try this specialist or that one or maybe this one over here.
All these random symptoms that I thought were some how connected and the best the doctors had for me was try this pill or that pill or the old stand by – its all in your head. Well it turns out they were wrong! It was mostly all in my guts! I could go on for pages about the impact of gut health. Google any of your health issues and leaky gut to start your own research.
To share a very condensed version: an unhealthy gut can cause way more than just stomach pain, gas, bloating, or diarrhea. Around 80% of our immune system is located in our gut so intestinal imbalances have been linked to imbalanced hormones, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, allergies, anxiety, depression, skin issues, and other chronic health problems. An unhealthy gut can also keep you from losing weight even with a proper diet and exercise.
But lets be real – how many of us have a “proper diet”. We live in America and we have a convenience driven lifestyle which impacts the food we eat. Take out, fast food, restaurants and partially prepared easy packaged foods from the grocery store are the norm. Unfortunately – this list is also loaded with refined carbs, a wide variety of sugar and often times chemicals in the form of additives and preservatives. Even if we eat all organic – the food we buy does not have the same nutrient density that they did when our grandparents bought them at the grocery store.
I assembled an incredible team of medical professionals that support me now – my internist, my neurologist, and my gastroenterologist all support my quest on the most natural path to total health. They all encourage supplements – minimally probiotics, a multivitamin, and a complete omega supplement. We have conversations about how to partner the naturopathic, holistic, alternative, and traditional western medicine approaches. The biggest blessing for supplements I have found is Plexus which they each reviewed, approved and encourage me to use consistently.
