Trust Your Gut! It May Be Telling You Something
Prioritizing gut health is an important foundation in functional nutrition, as it is crucial for overall wellness, supporting the immune system, regulating mood, and improving nutrient absorption.
If you’re experiencing digestive issues, fatigue, or other unexplained symptoms, they deserve attention!
Common signs and symptoms that your gut is trying to tell you something include:
Digestive Issues: Bloating, acid reflux, constipation, diarrhea, and other disorders.
Fatigue: Low energy, afternoon slump, interrupted sleep.
Food Sensitivities: Common foods trigger noticeable symptoms.
Mood Swings and Brain Fog: Decreased mental clarity and resilience.
Weight Changes: Weight changes despite consistent eating habits.
Immunity: Frequently sick or prolonged recovery.
Everyone experiences symptoms differently, but one fact remains: food choices impact how the body functions and feels. Your symptoms may stem from what you eat—or don’t eat—day after day.
The “gut microbiome” consists of trillions of microorganisms, including bacteria, in our digestive tract. These tiny organisms play crucial roles in maintaining health. A balanced diet, lifestyle, and environment are essential for a healthy microbiome. Microbiome disruptions can lead to symptoms and potentially chronic health issues.
The Foundation for Optimal Health
Too often, the combination of the standard American diet and a fast-paced lifestyle leads to high stress and low stamina while taking a toll on the integrity of our digestive system. Over time, these factors cause poor gut health and inflammation which often go hand in hand.
The good news? Food is not the problem, it’s the solution. Issues like food intolerances, constant bloating, moodiness, and more can improve just by making small dietary and lifestyle changes. When this approach is combined with a client’s needs and preferences it becomes a highly individualized nutritional care plan. A nutrition plan built just for you is key because we are all biologically unique, so what works for one may not be what the other needs. And no matter how busy or old you are, food can heal!
Personalized nutrition recommendations are based on a comprehensive nutrition assessment that includes:
Medical history
Dietary intake
Medication and/or supplement usage
Lifestyle practices
Bloodwork results (if available)
Functional test results (if available)
