Hippocrates over 2000 years ago said, “all disease begins in the gut” and this is true more today than ever.
Cutting edge research and the front line of health, is the study and science of the microbiome and our gut. Research shows the link between our microbiome and its breakdown to 90+% of all illness and disease. Our microbiome is the myriad strains of bacteria that live in and with us. We are 10 to 1 bacteria. We have 3 kinds, simply put the good, the bad and the neutral.
One of my favorite mentors says:
“We are not what we eat, we are what our body can do with what we eat.”
What does this mean? It means if the food we eat isn’t broken down and assimilated due to poor digestion our body is not being fed, which can lead to a myriad of symptoms.
Let me leave you with this…
Listen to what your gut is telling you. Symptoms are simply our body waving a hand for attention to look underneath the symptom… and it could just be your gut asking for help.
