“All disease begins in the gut” – Hippocrates
The gut is the foundation of health. As our primary interface with the world, our gut receives and distributes a significant amount of immune, toxic and nutritional information, much of which dictates the health or disease of our bodies.
The lining of the intestines can be damaged by food sensitivities, alcohol, medications and dysbiosis (overgrowth of opportunistic bacteria).
Many people live with digestive issues thinking it’s normal to feel not that great most of the time. Common digestive complaints include bloating, nausea, burping, excessive flatulence, constipation, diarrhea and gastric pain.
Gastrointestinal distress is not normal and no way to live. It’s your body’s way of telling you that your gut isn’t functioning properly and needs attention. The gastrointestinal microflora contains 10 times the number of micro-organisms than cells in the human body.
When the good bacteria outweigh the bad the benefits include:
- Optimal immune function
- Better gut motility and function
- Improved digestion and nutrient absorption
- Production of nutrients
- Weight management
Who wouldn't want to feel this way? Naturopathy perfectly achieves optimal digestive health through targeted nutritional and lifestyle interventions, and herbal medicines.
