Healthy Gut Series: Intro

Gut health is all the rage.

As science continues to link various health complications to poor gut health, we are experiencing a renaissance of healthy gut solutions. Thank goodness. From probiotics and prebiotics, to the newly discovered postbiotics and parabiotics- it's a modern day gold rush of microbiome remedies. Doctors and scientists together are honing in on specific strains that correlate to specific maladies. What a time to have a microbiome.

Gut imbalances are common and can manifest in many other symptoms. Things like:

• Digestive Issues

• Fatigue

• Skin Problems

• Food Intolerances

• Weight Issues

• Chronic Health Conditions

Some of the most exciting research is in the category of supplementation. There are now Doctor-formulated and researched specific strains of "good" bacteria and yeast to feed the gut. They are strengthening our fight of good-over-evil microbes that are constantly battling it out in our gut.

Additionally, we are learning that "There is a bidirectional connection between the gut and brain called the gut-brain-axis"[1] Many of our neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin are also produced in the gut and are affected by dysbiosis; or a disruption in the balance of our microbiota. [2] We are indeed learning that good gut health may be synonymous with good mental health.

In this series, we'll be introducing our line-up of "good guy" allies for the gut. Brands like Pendulum, Cymbiotika, and Arrae- are leading the way with novel strains to help us win the war for a healthy gut microbiome. Something in the mix may just be the secret weapon you've been missing.
