Gut Health
What is gut health?
Your gut health is defined by the balance of microorganisms that exist in your digestive tract. The right microorganisms can help you maintain physical and mental health. 80% of your immune system is in your gut and your gut microbiome affects your overall immune health. When you have a healthy balance of gut flora, your health thrives. But if you have an overgrowth or shortage of certain viruses, bacteria, and yeasts living in your gut, your health may suffer.
What symptoms indicate my gut health needs revising?
Many symptoms suggest that your gut health could use an intervention. These include:
- Heartburn or GERD
- Gas, bloating, constipation, and or diarrhea
- Irritable bowel
- Sugar cravings
- Gaining or losing weight without making changes to your diet or exercise
- Sleep disturbances and/or chronic fatigue
- Skin rashes like psoriasis, eczema, and other skin irritations
- Autoimmune conditions or systemic inflammation
- Intolerance to certain foods and trouble with digestion
If you’re suffering from these symptoms, a gut microbiome imbalance may be to blame. Contact Renew Total Body Wellness Center for an evaluation.
What interventions help heal the gut?
