Hey EF Fam,
It is in my opinion based on years of experience and studying the gut/brain connection, the majority of Americans have gut issues that are leading to a myriad of health issues.
It has been proven that the gut, beginning with our mouth is the body’s first line of defense and 80% of your immune system. Also, your gut chemistry is directly linked to your brain chemistry. The wrong foods can wreak havoc on your mental, physical and emotional capacities and lead to ailments never even considered a gut issue to begin with. The typical answer to the problem is usually a medication that doesn’t fix the problem and in fact may make it worse.
The over consumption of processed foods, GMO’s, alcohol, sugar, antibiotics and pesticides are largely to blame for this. To eat healthy these days you have to be super cautious… but if you love yourself you would thoroughly inspect all things that enter your mind, heart, body and spirit, wouldn’t you?
Allergies and food sensitivities are not so simple to detect either. I have seen people live for years eating something their body has a severe reaction to that created:
- joint pain
- depression
- fatigue
- itchiness
- muscle aches
- sleep disruption
- Ect.
Once eliminated, the depression faded, sleep was better, weight loss increased, energy improved, skin was clearer. You get the point!
The things is, all the things I listed to blame for the gut issues, almost 90% or more of the population has a sensitivity with at least a few of those things.
A good place to start to correct a gut issues or reveal sensitivities is with an elimination diet.
