#047 SuperFeast Rewind: Gut Health - Part 1

Gut health - what a minefield! Well, after today's Part 1 episode, we hope you'll be feeling more empowered understanding your gut health. Dan Sipple (The Functional Naturopath) joins Mason today as the boys dive deep into the depths of your gastro-intestinal tract! This subject is so vast, we have Part 1 and Part 2 to follow - stay tuned for next week. This episode covers the basics, what is digestion, what is good gut health and how we can build a robust gut microbiome - all the topics to get you in the driver's seat of your health. Dan shares his personal gut health journey (inclusive of viral load and Epstein-Barr) and once again, Dan brings his clinical observations to the table with real-life client experiences.   The guys discuss: - Why testing and data for gut health can help with specific diagnoses - How beneficial colostrum and aloe vera are for the gut lining - Mouth to anus - the digestive system is a hollow tube! - Bloating, distension, diarrhoea, constipation, vomiting, nausea are all signs of an unhealthy digestive system - 80% of the immune system resides in the gut - The more robust your gut health, the stronger your immunity - The pilot light for good digestion is the kidneys - How stress greatly impacts the Yin digestive system - stress less peeps - Rock-hard, stressed, tense abs are out; movement, flow and softness are in! - Remember all the happy neurotransmitters are made in the gut - Why Lion's Mane is so effective for gut health via nerve regeneration and prebiotic actions - Bitter tastes fuel and heal your gut (apple cider vinegar works a charm) - Antacids set you up for bacterial overgrowth, malabsorption and lowers your stomach acid, which is NOT the way to heal heartburn   RESOURCES: Blog and Transcript Link: https://www.superfeast.com.au/blogs/superblog/tagged/podcast SuperFeast Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/superfeast-podcast/id1437097644?ls=1&mt=2 Reishi Mushroom: superfeast.com.au/products/wild-reishi-powdered-extract Long Live the Reishi Queen: superfeast.com.au/blogs/superblog/reishi-mushroom-immortality Read about the amazing benefits of SuperFeast Reishi here: superfeast.com.au/blogs/superblog/reishi-medicinal-mushroom?_pos=4&_sid=98ded00d0&_ss=r   TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND SHARE ONLINE!
