We have learned that gut health is so important to how our bodies function. When this organ is optimized mood can be improved, energy levels can rise, brain fog can decrease, and even skin rashes can improve!

Dr. Dee shares 4 ways to start today to heal leaky gut.

1. Consume a good diversity of food. Focus on all the colors of the rainbow, and be sure to get plenty of fiber and resistant starch. 
   
   
2. Eliminate toxins that damage the gut, like NSAIDs and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).
   
   
3. GI Medical Food - some of the GI medical foods contain good nutrients that help the gut lining to be healthier. Glutamine is an amino acid that is know to help repair the gut lining. 
   
   
4. Rest and digest - we have to focus on the rest and relaxation part of ourselves for our gut to get healthier. Activities that stimulate the vagus nerve, and thus the parasympathetic nervous system, bring about calm. This can be deep breath, yoga, prayer, mediation, mindfulness, and even laughing and singing.
