Why Your Gut Never Feels Settled (And What You Can Do About It)

And we're going to talk about all of that today.

But when we look, when we say let's like everyone wants a healthy gut or let's optimize the health of our

gut, like what does that actually look like from a clinical perspective? So when I think about a healthy gut, I think about you don't want to be thinking about it.

You don't want it to be on your mind all the time.

You don't want to be bloated.

You don't want to have gas.

You don't want to go to the bathroom and to have it be a memorable experience.

You know, you want everything to be thriving and feeling good.

That means not having to plan your outfits around, am I going to be bloated for the rest of the day? We've all done that.

We've all done that.

But to me it's about great bowel motions, feeling energetic, feeling good after you eat a meal as well is so important, something I ask my clients a lot.

Yeah,

it's such a good way,

you know, to look at it.

And one thing that I'm seeing pop up all the time online and in marketing and, I mean, we use – these terms ourselves in our marketing because I think it is such a common pain point for so many of our customers and people within our audience and that's you know repairing or healing your gut so when we when we see those terms online or on products what are they actually referring to like what does it mean to heal our gut what are we trying to achieve? I

think about your gut a couple of different ways.

First analogy I use with my clients is a bag of grapes.

Think about the grapes you'd buy at the supermarket.

And if they're in a plastic bag, if you wash the grapes, then the water will go through those holes.

So when I think about the gut lining, if you've got something called leaky gut, you've got little holes in the lining and that water can get through or little particles which can drive inflammation.

You want to remove anything that's inflammatory, essentially blocking up those little holes to help the gut to be nice and smooth and anti-inflammatory.

That's the visual that I think about.
