Bloating, heartburn, feeling overly full after meals.
Do any of these ring true for you?
What about inflammation, persistent skin problems, constipation, low mood. Do you experience one or more of these problems?
There’s a good chance your gut health could be at the centre of it all.
Naturopaths have been addressing health problems through digestion support for decades, and in recent years the rest of the medical world has started to catch up.
Research into the role of our gut and the bacteria living inside it has grown exponentially, offering evidence-based insights into the what, why and how of disease and the links to our gastrointestinal health.
We now know that around70% of the cells that make up the immune system exist in the gut. Amazingly, our gut also produces90% of our body’s serotonin - an important neurochemical in making us feel good. Knowing this, you can start to see why some refer to our gut as our second brain!
The workhorse of the gut is ourmicrobiome - the complex balance of hundreds of different living microbes lining the large intestine, responsible for fighting disease and infection, producing essential vitamins and supporting our immunity - much more than simply digesting our food!
Problems can arise when this balance is no longer - we start to notice minor (or major) signs in our bodies of imbalance that often present in the symptoms we mentioned earlier, among many others.
The good news is that there areinfiniteways we can help our gut to rebalance and heal, many of which are super simple! All that’s often required is a little diligence and consistency.
Georgia, our co-founder and naturopath, shares here her best tips for optimal digestive health to bring your belly back into balance, naturally.
