Digestive Health

The Queen of the castle is the gut and if the Queen is upset, she will take down the Kingdom…

This is a sobering quote but oh so true!

I believe the digestive system should be the #1 focus of attention when symptoms manifest in the body. What could be some of the red flags of a compromised digestive system?

Arthritis | Autism | Auto-immune | Allergies | Decreased immune function

Fibromyalgia | Mood disorders | Skin conditions

Did you know:

• Approximately 70-80% of the immune system resides in our gut
• 95% of our serotonin and 50% of our dopamine is made in the gut
• Our microbiome (a community of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses that live inside the gut) is now being considered an organ
• The microbiome weighs as much as a regular organ and is home to 10 times more bacteria than cells in our entire body
• The relationship between our gut, brain, immune and endocrine system is key to our overall health!
• Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, said that “all disease begins in the gut”.
