Learn your true Gut Feelings: A Healthy Life Starts in Your Gut

Immune System

About 80% of the immune system resides in the gut. The balance of good and bad bacteria have an important impact on inflammation in the body. Inflammation plays a role in many chronic diseases including coronary artery disease, obesity, cancer (to name a few) as well as numerous autoimmune conditions.

Your liver is one of the main detox organs and serves to process and eliminate harmful toxins from the bloodstream. A common lifestyle disease we see today is fatty liver. Patients with fatty liver have up to 30% change of developing cirrhosis within 10 years.

Thyroid

A common manifestation of a damaged gut barrier is thyroid disease. Increase stress hormones leads to a change in thyroid production which increases risk of Hashimoto's, Grave's or hypothyroidism. 

Brain

The Gut-Brain connection is now well documented and the gut is often described as the "second brain." The gut plays a major role in mood, stress and sleep health.
