🧠Have you ever heard that your gut is your second brain?🧠
This is because your gut has it's own nervous system called the enteric nervous system or ENS. ENS controls digestion and works closely with the brain affecting mood behavior and overall health.
Have you ever heard of "Leaky gut"?
Leaky gut is an increasing problem in America which is essentially increased gut permeability caused by poor diet, stress, environmental factors and overall lifestyle. What this means is that along with a decreased ability to absorb nutrients, you also allow bad stuff like bacteria and toxins from the digestive track into the bloodstream, causing inflammation and immune response.
Symptoms of leaky gut include bloating and gas, food sensitivities, fatigue, joint pain, skin issues, headaches and brain fog.
To heal the gut, you want to prioritize a whole foods diet, get better sleep, lower stress, and adopt certain fasting protocols.
