Digestive Health Blueprint with Dr. Adrian Chavez

Today we are going to be talking about Pillar #5 of the 5 Pillars of Digestive Health and that pillar is motility.

Motility refers to the speed at which your food moves through your GI tract. Too fast can lead to diarrhea, too slow and you have constipation.

Either extreme can lead to undesired digestive and systemic health effects.

In this episode we discuss:

• Negative effects of constipation/diarrhea
• How often you should pooop
• An overview of the various strategies that we can use to impact motility

Most of the immune cells in our body hang out in the lining of our gut. They help to protect against invasion of pathogenic substances that are found in large quantities inside of the intestines.

The intestinal immune system is an important line of defense against pathogenic infection, but can also be a source of chronic inflammation and disease.

In this episode we discuss:

• The various roles of the intestinal immune system
• The 3 layers of protection against microbial infection
• How dysfunction of the immune system can lead to pathogenesis
• Various factors that can contribute to immune system dysfunction
• How the immune system interacts with other pillars of digestive health
