This might just be what you and your gut need in 2025...

We talk about gut health a lot on this show and for good reason. There are so many ways our gut affects our overall health including the areas of digestive wellness, our immune system and health, our gut brain axis that affects our mood and mental well-being, and so much more.

Our gut also plays a massive role in our metabolism and energy regulation for weight management and weight loss. 

Some gut issues can look like:

- Mood disorders

- Stool changes- constipation, diarrhea

- Abdominal bloating and gas

- Feeling full quickly

- Heartburn, GERD, reflux

- Stomach pain, burning, or cramping, nausea

- Hormonal imbalance (gut issues common in perimenopause)

- Food sensitivity

- IBS, IBD, Crohn’s, colitis, etc

- Autoimmune disease

- Skin issues- eczema, acne, psoriasis

- Nutrient deficiencies (poor absorption)

- Getting sick often/easily

To alleviate these issues, most go with taking medication, an antibiotic, go the FODMAP diet route, cut out gluten and dairy, or take random supplements. What if another route existed?

In today's episode and Part 1 of these series, we're going to cover a lot of gut health topics that may be slowing your progress down and explain why the 5R gut protocol might be useful for you. Stick around for Part 2 where we'll dive into the protocol piece by piece.
