Did you know that 75% of women have gastrointestinal issues? No wonder the trend #hotgirlshaveIBS took fire. 

 

The gut really is the center of everything health, and a lot of health issues or challenges with even physical goals/body composition goal can stem back to issues in the gut. 

 

Excelerate Athletics coach Marisa Silva is no stranger to this. She went from being on top of the world with her fitness journey, so much so she was even setting out to compete in a bodybuilding show, when her entire world came to a halt when sever gut issues popped up what seemed to be overnight.

 

Today we dive into her story, what she’s been diagnosed with, the long struggle through primary care doctors on figuring it out, and her recommendations for those of you who suspect you may be struggling too!
