Today's episode, I am going over Slippery Elm and finding out why it can be so important for someone that is trying to heal their gut. Slippery Elm has the ability to help soothe our gut lining, which is important with IBD patients since their guts usually take a fair share of irritation throughout the day.

My goal is to shed more light on this subject so that I can help other people like myself who may be dealing with an autoimmune disease and looking for ways to regain their health! I offer this information as a helpful tool, but should not be the deciding factor when it comes to your health. Make sure to always talk to your doctor first before making any changes.

The main thing is to get back up and continue on the health journey.

Every couple of episodes I like to check back in with my audience and talk about where my current health is at. I find that if you talk about your progression you can see the goals you have been hitting. It also is a good time to see if there are things that are holding you back to better health. So I wanted to take this time to talk about this so that you take the time to check your health progression.
