The term 'gut health' has gained significant traction both in the medical community and within the food industry. Gut health refers to various vital functions of the gastrointestinal tract (GI) including food digestion and absorption, absence of GI illness, maintenance of a balanced intestinal microbiota, robust immune function, and overall wellness. The gut barrier and gut microbiota plays a huge role in gut health. A compromised gut barrier or changes in the gut microbiome increases susceptibility to a range of gastrointestinal disorders, including infections, inflammation, and functional disturbances, along with other chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, obesity, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and autoimmunity. Gut health is a key piece in preventive medicine. In this article, we will explore a range of gut health supplements that could assist you in improving and healing your gut.

Your gut microbiome is a vital element that contributes to the regulation of overall health. The gut microbiome is an ecosystem made up of trillions of microorganisms that live together and influence your health. These microorganisms include different species of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and even parasites. Think of your gut microbiome as a diverse garden. When your garden is colorful, alive, and well, so are you. When your diverse garden is overtaken by weeds, debris, and depleted soil, your diverse garden begins to die, and your health declines.

Waking up feeling exhausted with no energy or motivation to get out of bed isn’t normal, and you’re not alone. In a recent meta-analysis, more than 20% of adults globally struggle with general fatigue, and more than 10% struggle with chronic fatigue (fatigue lasting more than 6 months). Fatigue is one of the top symptoms presented in hospitals, and it’s also easily dismissed, especially since women are impacted more than men. Another study found that almost 50% of patients who presented with fatigue were diagnosed with one or more conditions within a year. This shows us that fatigue needs to be taken seriously right away and not written off as normal. We will explore the common root causes of fatigue that are often overlooked.

You’re probably asking yourself if painful periods aren’t normal then, what does it mean? Common root causes of painful periods can range from nutrient imbalances, digestive and gut dysfunction, blood sugar imbalances, and toxins.

Lab tests are used to gather data about a person’s health to determine a disease or treatment plan. There are differences between functional lab tests and conventional lab tests in how they’re used to evaluate health and determine a course of action. With functional lab tests, practitioners can dig deeper into what’s happening in the whole body and why it’s happening, allowing them to catch early signs of disease years before conventional lab tests would ever pick up. This is partly due to the way standard medical ranges are determined, making it easy to fall into the “normal” range even when you feel awful.
