Gastrointestinal System

The saying “You are what you eat” can be said more accurately; “You are what you digest”! However, if digestive function is compromised, it’s not just your body’s nutrient status that suffers. The health of the gut greatly impacts brain function, hormone balance, immune regulation, and so much more…

 

The gastrointestinal system, which handles your digestive function, also contains a vast mucosal barrier. Gut inflammation and a compromised mucosal barrier can be caused by bacterial and parasitic infections, food additives, environmental toxins, mental & emotional stress, and a host of other stressors. This can severely limit digestion, lead to inflammation in other areas of the body, and have a huge negative impact on the immune system and hormonal/endocrine system.

 

In order for your body’s cells, tissues, and organs to get both proper nutrition and eliminate toxins, your digestive organs need to be supported in a way that eliminates any stress that compromises this amazing system.
