Gut Health
May 23, 2022
Did you know that nearly 70% of the immune system is located in your gut? This is why the bacteria present in the gut are vital to our health, well-being and mindset. Your gut is the foundation of everything – it aids digestion of the foods you eat, absorbs nutrients and uses it as fuel to maintain the body. This is why it’s paramount to look after our gut health and nurture it through meals and food that will allow it (and you!) to thrive.
The bacteria present in our gut serve a variety of functions, including breaking down food, metabolising drugs, detoxifying, helping the immune system mature, and regulating the immune system over time. Improving gut health helps support long-term health. Although bloating and gas is normal from time to time, if you frequently experience symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort or reactions, your body is trying to send you a message. Listen to it!
By working with me through my health coaching services, I can support you in making better food choices so that we can figure out which foods support your gut function and which can trigger you. Through my expertise, I will provide you with a tailor-made nutritional plan that allows you to heal, nourish and nurture your gut allowing you to reap the benefits of this! Depending on your individual needs, we may experiment with removing inflammatory foods from your diet or introducing new staple foods to work into your diet. By working to support your gut health from a holistic approach, we will ensure these changes fit and are suitable for your lifestyle so that it is easy for you to maintain. Making the decision to heal your gut is a lifestyle choice, and is certainly no quick fix. My holistic approach will allow you to become the expert, and be able to make better food choices that allow your body and mind to flourish!
