Gut Health

The key to optimal health

Over the last decade, scientists have discovered that our gut is central to our overall health. It’s one of the most exciting developments in nutritional science and it impacts on far more areas of your health than you would think, including: 

– Immune health – 70% of your immune system lives in your gut

– Mood and anxiety – the gut has been dubbed ‘the second brain’ with signals passing in both directions along the gut-brain axis

– Hormonal health – some hormones are produced in the gut while others are regulated by gut bacteria 

– Allergies – a healthy and diverse microbiome has been linked t reduced allergic symptoms

– Skin – the so-called gut-skin axis mean gut health can play a role in conditions ranging from eczema to acne

So improving your gut health through nutritional and lifestyle changes can have a positive impact on a wide range of health conditions. However, if you have any of the below symptoms these are strong indicators that improving your gut health could help you.

Are you suffering from 

– IBS

– Bloating and gas

– Abdominal pain

– Constipation or frequent diarrhoea

– Nausea

– Heartburn

– Low energy of frequent fatigue

– Depression, anxiety or low mood

The good news is that it absolutely is possible to improve your gut health whatever stage of life you are in. There’s no single magic bullet but gaining an understanding of what can damage your gut microbes and what can help restore and build a diverse set of gut bacteria will give you the power to take back control of your health.
