Microblog: Gut Healing – The 3Rs for a Healthy Gut

Gut healing isn’t linear. E.g., Rebalance the body first before attacking.

⚠️But this doesn’t hold true with worms, parasites, and serious mold. In these cases, you won’t get to root cause healing without removing these toxins.

💊So most practitioners while removing these very toxic pathogens, use nutritional supports to help the detox pathways and give higher doses of raw materials to fight the good fight.

🧬The digestive process is where we break down foods to make the raw materials for our body (stomach). We then absorb our nutrients and ward off additional toxins (small intestine).

🌟Our digestive process is critical to health. If we don’t eat the right foods and if our digestive system can’t break foods (nutrients) properly, we will never have ideal health.

Never.

💡So while some focus on hormones, ideal macros or XYZ-else, it doesn’t matter without gut health.

🥩Every single health topic breaks down to the raw materials we MUST gain from our foods via the digestive process.

Gut health is critical to health.

🦠Within our digestive process, our gut microbiome (trillions of microorganisms in the cecum of the large intestine) contains bacteria, fungi, viruses and other microscopic living things.

❗️And we really only understand the bacteria portion of the microbiome.

🤚🏼These trillions of microbes ALSO exist on your skin (why hand sanitizers aren’t ideal).

📞The skin and gut microbes communicate with the body and in a healthy gut, the “bad” bacteria struggle to flourish.

🍃Plant-based foods have more toxins than animal-based foods (e.g., antinutrients, herbicides, GMOs).

🧨70-80% of the body’s immune system is in the small intestine. So when our gut needs support, and we eat these plant-based toxins, it’s no wonder we get sick, no matter how many green smoothies and kale salads we eat.

🛡And since meats have the most bioavailable nutrients, even the weakest digestive tract has the best chance at absorbing nutrients from meats. (K2 > K1, Heme Iron > Non-Heme Iron, Retinol > Beta-Carotene)

‼️THIS is the reason that all elimination diets include meats on day 1.

❓Why not remove ALL plants (temporarily) so you eliminate any guesswork?
