What finally helped me heal my gut
The surprisingly simple practice that resolved years of food sensitivities and digestive issues
Introduction: A silent epidemic
Over the last few months of training to become a nutritional therapist (NTP), I’ve gotten a reaction from friends I never expected. Each time I jokingly ask if they have any health issues requiring nutritional support, the answer is a resounding YES.
Various friends have opened up about dealing with problems from bloating and indigestion to brain fog and chronic inflammatory reactions. Most have been labeled with candida overgrowth, SIBO, IBS, or gluten-intolerance and have no idea how they got there or how to truly heal.
For the first time I realized that the vast majority of people around me — mostly women from 26 to 40 — are silently struggling with digestive issues. In fact, a study from 2018 reveals that an astounding number of Americans- about two-thirds- are living with digestive issues and likely are unaware how to heal them. Most are in a holding pattern of frustration or dejection, which I know very well.
After learning to heal my own imbalanced gut and food sensitivities over the past five years, I understand the vicious cycle of digestive problems.
