Keep reading to get the answers you seek about how to improve your gut health!
The Importance of Gut Health
Your G.I. tract impacts more than just your digestion. From your mood to your skin, optimal gut health and feeling your best go hand in hand. So yes, your lifestyle and eating habits do matter! Gut-healthy lifestyle choices, from eating fermented and high-fiber foods to drinking enough water and lowering stress levels, will go a long way in having a healthy gut.
Our Approach to Gut Wellness
When you come to us, you can be sure that we will conduct the most thorough diagnostic tests before offering any type of treatment. We don’t want to simply hand out a prescription that will just mask your symptoms rather than actually take care of the problem. Gut microbiome and permeability tests can include both blood and stool samples, which helps to identify a variety of inflammatory conditions such as IBS, as well as potential food sensitivities.
Gut Health Supplements
Many herbal extracts, nutrients, and probiotic strains have proven beneficial for maintaining and improving gut health. Each person’s needs are different, so when we create a treatment plan for you, we can recommend supplements that will work with your body for the results you want. Here are a few high-quality, trusted supplements that we may recommend:
Ortho Biotic: Probiotics are living microorganisms that are very useful in digestion and immune function. This potent supplement contains 7 different strains (including Saccharomyces boulardii) and 23 billion probiotics per serving!
FloraBoost Probiotic for Kids: Children can also benefit from taking a daily probiotic! With 8 strains and 6 billion probiotics per serving, this great-tasting powder comes in individual packets for convenient use. It doesn’t contain gluten, preservatives, or any artificial flavors.
Total Gut Restoration Kit: This kit includes 3 different supplements, all of which are formulated to improve and protect the immune-gut barrier. The prebiotics, probiotics, and immunoglobulins are a fantastic trio for rebuilding and reinforcing a healthy balance of gut microflora.
SBI Protect Powder: Immunoglobulin (IgG) is an essential antibody that helps strengthen and maintain the integrity of your G.I. tract. It binds up microbes and toxins, providing a healthy environment for healthy bacteria to thrive. This gluten-free supplement comes in powder form that can be mixed with your beverage of choice.
GlutaShield: Vitamin A, zinc, l-glutamine, n-acetyl-d-glucosamine, deglycyrrhized licorice root extract, and aloe vera extract make up this complex supplement designed to improve the lining of your gut and provide nutritional support to the G.I. cells.
