ReversABLE: The Ultimate Gut Health Podcast and is available everywhere podcasts are found
Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s podcast:
IBS and IBD (Crohn's and colitis) are on a spectrum of severity and have similar symptoms.
The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in detoxification, hormonal balance, immune regulation, digestion, and nutrient production.
Toxins, microbial imbalances, and diet/nutrient deficiencies are the main reasons for developing IBD.
The modern diet and exposure to toxins disrupt the balance of the gut microbiome. Addressing the root causes of gut issues is crucial for reversing bowel disease and improving gut health.
Toxins, inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies contribute to gut imbalances and should be addressed.
The gut is connected to various diseases and conditions, and addressing gut health can have a positive impact on overall health.
The five steps to reverse bowel disease are drainage, removing the problem, replenishing nutrients, rebuilding the microbiome, and rejuvenating the immune system.
Gut issues can be reversed, and there is hope for those struggling with bowel diseases.
