Beyond Gut Health

07/19/2023

One of the foundations of health is strong digestion. To have strong digestion we need our stomach to be an acid bath, our small intestine should be alkaline and our colon should be slightly acidic...its a game of pH. The easiest way to start is Apple Cider Vinegar and sea salt in some water 2-3x a day

Whenever I feel my colitis acting up, I do a gut check on my life to stop the symptoms and prevent a flare...

Mental/emotional - am I stressing over something, frustrated, angry?

Food and supplements- what have I been eating lately? What haven't I been eating or taking lately

Physical- Am I sleeping and recovering enough? Pushing myself too hard?

This has kept me flare free for over a decade...without any meds.

You got it!

When I was in the middle of IBD flares all I wanted was to be healthy again

To have enough energy to get out of bed and go somewhere besides the bathroom…

To have my youthful energy again and be present with my family and friends

I had been dealing with Ulcerative Colitis for over 9 years and wasn’t getting better...

I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Something had to change and surgery was NOT an option

Biologics scared me

Steroids made me crazy
Mesalamine was destroying my liver

Was I failing my meds…Or were my meds failing me?

I had to save my colon and my life…I was too young to be this sick

At 19 I knew I couldn’t continue doing what I was doing (listening to my gastro)

I was too weak, exhausted and embarrassed to go to college parties

So I spent my nights at the library learning nutrition, food/ exercise science, medicinal plants…

And my days putting what I was learning into action: experimenting on myself

Through trial and error I figured out how to heal my gut without drugs or surgery

Its been over a decade since I have my last flare…

I can enjoy eating my old “trigger” foods without any pain

And I’m getting healthier everyday… (So can you)

A healthy bowel is the foundation of a healthy body

Its where we convert the outer world into…us

Where food gets an upgrade

But if your bowel is compromised…your ability to absorb nutrients grinds to a halt
Right when you need it most…

So if you want to be healthy, to progress in the gym, to think clearly
You must clean the bowel and restore a healthy microbiome…
