Gut health, leaky gut, and the microbiome are pretty trendy topics in the natural health world right now.

And based on all the buzz around them, you might be a little bit skeptical about how important they really are.

However, the idea that your gut plays a huge role in your health is hardly new information.

Hippocrates, the father of medicine said, “All disease begins in the gut” over 2,000 years ago!

And it makes sense.

Your gut houses trillions of bacteria that make up your microbiome and play a huge role in immune function, brain health, hormone balance, and more.

It’s where you absorb the nutrients that power your entire body, where 20% of your thyroid hormones are converted to their active state, and where many of your neurotransmitters are produced.

And we can’t forget the crucial role your gut plays in immune function! Nearly 70% of your immune system lives in your gut, and we know that leaky gut is a precursor for autoimmune disease.

The more research that comes out, the more we confirm what Hippocrates knew thousands of years ago.

Research has already proven gut health plays a key role in preventing and reversing autoimmune disease, thyroid dysfunction, fatigue, anxiety, depression, skin issues, chronic pain, and more.

Just last week I shared a new study out of John’s Hopkins that helped confirm Parkinson’s Disease originates in the gut.

So what does this mean for you?

One of the most important steps you can take in restoring your health is repairing your gut!

Because truthfully, our modern environments are doing a real number to our microbiomes and overall gut health.

Just look at the skyrocketing number of toxins surrounding us, the state of our food supply, the rampant use of antibiotics, and our high levels of chronic stress.

It’s no wonder so many people are dealing with leaky gut, gut imbalances, and gut infections!
