Show Summary: “If the roots of a tree are rotting, the tree dies. And so if your gut is inflamed, imbalanced, or not functioning well, the rest of your body will be sick.” -  Our body has a remarkable way of communicating with us, and one area that often speaks loudest is our gut. It's not just a place where food is broken down, and nutrients are absorbed; it's a complex system that plays a crucial role in our overall health and well-being. Some common signs of digestive dysfunction are bloating, gassiness, indigestion, skin rashes, chronic constipation or diarrhea, and frequent heartburn or acid reflux. These symptoms may be caused by gut inflammation or a disrupted digestive system. Many of us ignore these signs until they become detrimental. Imbalance or dysfunction in the gut can lead to various health issues, including digestive disorders, autoimmune diseases, mood disorders, and even chronic fatigue.  We need to understand our digestive process, take control of our gut health, and restore balance to our body. Advocate for your gut health and listen to this episode to learn about the leading causes of digestive diseases and improve overall well-being and become a self-healing champion.
