Digestive Issues

Health Issues Linked to Digestive Disorders

Intestinal Permeability (Leaky Gut)

Digestive issues compromise the gut lining causing intestinal permeability where harmful toxins can leak out and enter the blood stream. This provokes an immune response and chronic inflammation throughout the body and brain. Conditions associated with inflammation are food sensitivities, fatigue, brain fog, and compromised nutrient absorption. By identifying the root cause of your digestive issues, this can be prevented.

Microbiome

Restoring your digestive health is crucial for a healthy microbiome – the beneficial flora in your gut that regulates your defense system. With nutritional support, you can support your microbiome as well as your overall health.

Weight Gain

Weight loss resistance can be influenced by digestive issues that can lead to food cravings, mood disorders, fatigue and a slow metabolism. Food sensitivities that cause bloating and water retention can also increase weight.

Chronic Immune Response

An unhealthy diet and gut disorders leads to an inflammatory response which can cause allergies, skin rashes, fatigue, cognitive disorders and Autoimmune conditions. By addressing your diet and digestive issues, you decrease inflammation and the associated health issues.

Support Your Brain

Eating foods that provoke inflammation in the gut can lead to harmful inflammation in the brain, causing brain fog, depression, anxiety and other neurological disorders. Replacing them with nutrient-rich foods will help you achieve a healthier state of mind.

Rest and Digest

Stress is one of the major causes of digestive disorders.  Your Vagus Nerve sends signals between your brain and your gut.  It can switch you from stress mode to rest and digest mode so you can digest properly.  By learning how to activate your Vagus Nerve, you can support the gut/brain connection in a favorable way.
