Healing Your Gut

Have you ever wondered why you have “gut instincts”? One reason is because your gut and your brain are intimately connected in a bi-directional manner via your Vagus nerve. The Vagus nerve is the largest nerve in the body and and it links the gut and brain together, sending signals to the brain from the gut and from the gut to the brain.

It’s fascinating to realize that your gut actually produces more neurotransmitters than your brain. If your gut isn’t functioning properly you might be experiencing symptoms of anxiety, fear, overwhelm, depression, brain fog and more. Many of these symptoms are typical in Hashimoto’s and other autoimmune conditions.

Are you starting to see the connection between what you eat and how you feel? This is why you can make such an impact on how you feel by making better choices with what you eat. Dr. Gaby, in his book Nutritional Medicine states, “side effects reported by patients who follow a nutritional program, often include more energy, better moods, fewer cravings, better mental concentration and less aches and pains.” Would you like to experience these side effects?

Can you start to see how improving your diet can have far reaching impact on the signs and symptoms you're experiencing?  Your story, experiences, social interactions, cultural background, genetics and habits all play a part in how diet and nutrition can impact your healing journey or contribute to worsening symptoms. We'll take a deeper dive into these areas to determine where you can make the biggest impact on controlling or reversing your symptoms.

Your nutritional needs are unique from everyone else because YOU are different from everyone. Perhaps when and how you eat may be playing a role in exacerbating symptoms. Maybe a change in the quality of the food can make a big impact. Or maybe you have hidden food sensitivities or allergies that prevent true healing. Perhaps eating out too much is contributing to your pain.

We'll explore these and other areas to u uncover what may be interfering with your full recovery. It’s not just about what you eat, it’s about how your body can use what you eat. Food is information for your body and you can make a positive or negative impact with every forkful. What are you eating, or what's eating you, that may be causing brain fog, joint or muscle pain, headaches, fatigue, weight loss resistance or simply a sense that you just don't feel well?

The healing process begins with introducing gut healing protocols to facilitate better nutrient absorption that enhances your body's natural ability to heal.  You may be eating the best food available, but if your gut is not properly digesting, assimilating and absorbing those nutrients, you won’t reap the benefits from those beautiful foods. Your body's natural default setting is to be healthy.  Let’s uncover those foods that may be holding you back from feeling your best or preventing you from attaining your health goals. Knowledge is power.
