Does gut health affect weight loss? 100%

Does gut health affect weight loss? 100%

“No matter how much I exercise, no matter how healthy I eat, and no matter what I do, I can’t lose fat. Can gut health help with this?”“I have horrible sugar cravings. Can gut health changes help me fix this?”.Yes, diet and exercise are important. I would never suggest they are not. But when the right parts of gut health aren’t targeted directly, fat loss may become borderline impossible. .I’m not saying all lean people have great gut health because that’s not true. But the science is that when gut health is messed up, fatloss is much more difficult for...

Eating health can cause bloating and gas - probiotics, digestive enzymes, gut health

Eating health can cause bloating and gas - probiotics, digestive enzymes, gut health

Whenever the body can’t break down foods properly, bloating and gas occur. Bloating is a sign that digestive capacity isn’t where it needs to be. .Highly nutritious foods can also cause intense bloating..I spent over a year rebuilding my digestive capacity for foods like broccoli before I reintroduced them into my diet. Foods like broccoli would wreck my system. .While rebuilding my digestive capacity with probiotics, prebiotics, and immunoglobulins, I had to learn what foods were causing the issues and avoid them during the gut renovation process. .I didn’t move away from all vegetables and fruits. I only ate onesthat...

It may be necessary to avoid certain food that cause heartburn and reflux until gut health improves - digestive enzymes, digestion

When someone has lingering heartburn/reflux issues I always have to ask, “What are you eating?”.There are a lot of foods that contribute to heartburn/reflux. Yes, the Upper GI Relief and Digestive Enzymes will help with heartburn/reflux issues. But there are also a lot of foods that will not. .While you are working on resolving digestive issues, please avoid foods that are contributing to the problems. I’m not suggesting a person avoid chocolate and coffee forever. I am suggesting that while your stomach is getting better it would be really helpful if you didn’t contribute to the issues causing the problems....

Slow motility may be to blame for diarrhea and loose stools - gut health, digestion, constipation, SIBO, GERD, gastritis

Slow motility may be to blame for diarrhea and loose stools - gut health, digestion, constipation, SIBO, GERD, gastritis

I have learned some interesting things over the years working with our science team. One interesting point is that slow motility causes rapid motility. Let me explain.⁠.⁠If you have ever had food poisoning of any kind you know it causes severe diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. What happens is that the body receives a toxin overload and in order to fight it the body draws a lot of water into the system to flush it out rapidly. The body does not like toxins. ⁠.⁠When a person has slow motility (which is associated with SIBO, IBS, GERD, Gastritis, etc.), they basically have...

Immunoglobulins and gut health

Immunoglobulins and gut health

Repost from: @wholistic_healthandfitness I've been using this product for a while now, with a small hiatus while I was sick as a dog during 1st trimester . I can honestly notice a difference incorporating it (along with some other silverfernbrand products) for my SIBO issues. The name of the game is motility. Increase motility, cleans out the bad, and you are on your way to better gut health. More to share on these game changer products soon. Contact me on how to get your hands on some.

From Slow Motility to Leaky Gut - gut health, probiotics, SIBO, candida, bacteria overgrowth, constipation, bloating, heartburn

From Slow Motility to Leaky Gut - gut health, probiotics, SIBO, candida, bacteria overgrowth, constipation, bloating, heartburn

We always start with the same question, “Do we need to start by addressing motility issues first? Do constipation, diarrhea, heartburn/reflux, nausea, bloating, burping, and severe bloating in any combination exist?” If so, these need to be addressed first. If these don’t exist, then step 2 is a fantastic place to start!⁠.⁠Yes, addressing leaky gut can have a significant impact on health.⁠Yes, bacteria imbalances can lead to slow motility which causes even worse bacteria imbalances. Once motility issues exist, cleaning up bacteria and fungal imbalances is almost impossible. Addressing bacteria imbalances is secondary to addressing motility issues.⁠.⁠Most people have not...

Gut health can affect bone health, here's how - Vitamin K2, Vitamin D3, malabsorption

Gut health can affect bone health, here's how - Vitamin K2, Vitamin D3, malabsorption

Why should bone health be a focus for those with poor gut health?🔹Overtreatment of thyroid issues can cause bone loss. If anyone has ever had thyroid issues, they know that thyroid levels bounce around a lot.🔹Weakened bones lead to problems with posture.🔹Bloating and constipation are signs of digestive problems and digestive problems lead to malabsorption of essential nutrients for bone health.🔹Antidepressants are found to cause lower bone mineral density.🔹If nails are brittle, then likely so are the bones..The good news is that gut health can be improved, and studies show that combining Vitamins K2 and D3 together can significantly increase...

When I am asked to help someone with bloating I immediately look for:1️⃣ Motility issues/low stomach acid2️⃣ Food intolerances3️⃣ Bacteria imbalances (and leaky gut).(Note: IBS/SIBO issues are linked with both motility issues and bacteria imbalances. Motility issues are linked to causing bacteria imbalances.).Please also notice stress, diet and lack of exercise. 🔹When a person has high stress, they can bloat. 🔹When a person eats unhealthy or even loads up on too many healthy foods they can bloat. Yes, eating a lot of certain fruits and vegetables can cause bloating. 🔹And I think we all generally recognize that exercise is good...

Probiotics are not all the same, nor do they function the same

Probiotics are not all the same, nor do they function the same

Probiotics are not all the same. Not even close, actually. They don’t necessarily even contain the same TYPES of strains let alone the same strains. .Most companies focus their efforts on reseeding probioticstrains when formulating their probiotic products. Many focus on larger numbers and more strains because more is better, right? This is why fast-food restaurants super-size everything. Everyone wants "more for their money.".Silver Fern™ Brand asked its microbiologist to make our probiotic so that it improved the gut conditions and environment of consumers in a dramatic way.

Yes, these are extremely healthy foods loaded in nutrients. BUT when the gut isn’t prepared for healthy foods, they can cause some serious pain and bloating. .I know for me, that as I was switching my diet from unhealthy foods to healthy foods, I was surprised by how painful eating so many fruits and vegetables was.

Vitamin K2 and D3 are optimal for bone health, find out why

I think most people know that there are lot of benefits from supplementing with vitamin D3. What most people DO NOT know is that Vitamin D3 and K2 together are BEST, especially for bone health.🦴.Most people ask why we only suggest 1,000 IUs of Vitamin D3 per day. Our dietitians and gut experts think that when a person has good gut health and are utilizing their nutrients correctly all that should be needed is 1,000 IUs.

An overreactive immune system can be just as bad as one that's not working - gut health, autoimmune, probiotics, prebiotics, cleanse

Allergies & asthma? Skin issues? Fatigue and headaches? How does the gut play into these issues? The answer is that the gut is directly linked to those issues. They are all linked to underlying gut problems such as bacteria imbalances (dysbiosis), leaky gut (increased intestinal permeability), inflammatory problems, AND an overworked immune system. .Therefore, the gut help solution to all of the signs of an overactive immune system is to correctly, effectively, and fundamentally correct the underlying issues driving gut problems..Here are my personal suggestions:🔷A.

When I started the Boost Kit to try to reduce my belly fat (and total body fat), there appeared to be two trains of thought about diet.
