Heal Your Gut
DISCOVER THE SECRETS TO FINALLY HEALING YOUR GUT!
There is no "one-size-fits-all" solution or magic pill you can take to achieve optimal digestive health. Any holistic approach to gut health has to take into consideration diet, nutrition and lifestyle factors such as stress, exercise and sleep. Let's not forget that when we eat we are not only feeding the 'person' but also the 'trillions of microorganisms' in the gut that take signals from the environment and turn them into biology. Everything we do, from what we eat to how we feel, has the power to shape our health destiny.
It is a known fact that a healthy gut leads to a healthy body. A gut free of irritating foods, toxins and infection along with a flourishing gut ecosystem, is our best defense against chronic disease, from the common cold to debilitating autoimmune conditions. All my wellness programs addresses the gut first and what I consider the most likely factors that contribute to poor health and other chronic conditions including autoimmune disease: a diet consisting of gluten, food allergens, processed foods and abundant sugar, toxins from the environment and lifestyle factors including stress and sleep.
As more and more research is telling us, if you want to address any chronic illness or prevent disease from taking hold in the body, you must start with a sound healthy gut and intestinal ecosystem.

Our Microbiome—One Big Primordial Soup
We ALL, every THING, come from the same source and same terrain.

Glyphosate Rescue Remedy
For the past few decades many of our precious food systems have been tainted by any number of herbicides and pesticides.
