Why Gut Health matters

Recent studies show that there is a direct link between our gut health and many other areas of health, including:

  • Diabetes
  • Immune System
  • Mood
  • Mental Health 
  • Autoimmune Disorders
  • Endocrine Disorders
  • Cancer

By improving our gut health, we are also improving all of the above areas of our health. 

How do you improve gut health?

There are many ways to naturally improve our gut health. 

Naturally improving your gut health and overall health can be very easy, it just takes small steps and consistency. Here are ways you can start improving your gut health today:

  • Reduce your stress levels
  • Stay hydrated
  • Get plenty of sleep
  • Eat more fermented foods, high fiber foods, and collagen-boosting foods

There are also supplements that you can take to help kickstart this process or to help maintain a healthier gut. Take a look below to see some of my recommended supplements. 

GlutaShield Chocolate - Ortho Molecular Products

 

Designed to promote the health and barrier function of the gastrointestinal lining, GutaShield will help to calm and soothe the digestive tract and help to heal and repair the intestinal wall as well combined with healthy nutrition. GutaShield also aids in keeping unwanted toxins, microbes and food particles from passing into the body. 

 

 
SpectraFiber - Klaire Labs

In addition to eating plenty of vegetables and fruits, some fiber may be necessary. Drink SpectraFiber with at least 8 oz of water when you take the fiber to help with healthy bowel movements. Unlike other fiber supplements, SpectraFiber does not contain grains, psyllium seed or bran - which many find irritating to the GI tissues.

 

Orthobiotic - ortho molecular products

Ortho Biotic is designed to:

  • Maintain Gastrointestinal Balance
  • Support Bowel Regularity
  • Support Digestion
  • Support Nutrient Absorption
  • Support Optimal Immune Function

Taken once a day, Ortho Biotic is a powerhouse for a healthy gut.

 

Mentharil - integrative therapeutics

Take between meals or if you have an upset stomach. Mentharil includes oil extracts of peppermint, rosemary, and thyme to support gastrointestinal function, soothe discomforts, and help reduce occasional gas.
