Listen To Suttle Clues

Not paying attention to what your body is telling you could be detrimental to your health long-term.

Sometimes minor symptoms come and go. But if you are experiencing a multitude of symptoms that have become intolerable, it may be time to take action.

If you’re not sure what to do, that’s okay. Continue to listen to what your body needs and seek guidance on how to interpret its signals. Understanding your body’s cues can help you gain clarity on your health and wellness journey.

I would also suggest booking a session with me—I can help guide you through this process.

What Is Leaky Gut?

Leaky gut, also known as increased intestinal permeability, is a digestive condition in which bacteria and toxins are able to “leak” through the intestinal wall.

Inflammation along our intestinal wall may be caused by a combination of stress, poor lifestyle choices, poor eating habits (including unknown toxins in our food), and a lack of beneficial nutrients such as good bacteria.

It’s very important to determine whether this is an issue for you, as leaky gut can lead to other disorders or diseases such as arthritis, irritable bowel disease, chronic fatigue, and more frequent colds or flu.

11 Symptoms To Watch Out For

Signs or symptoms that you may have leaky gut include the following. (Please note that it will typically be a combination of these symptoms rather than just one or two.)

• Frequent gas and bloating
• Pale, soft, oily stool
• Food allergies or intolerances
• Candida overgrowth
• Skin disorders
• Frequent colds or flu
• Brittle nails
• Fatigue
• Achy joints
• Erratic mood
• Forgetfulness or ‘fogginess’

Ways To Treat Leaky Gut

I understand that reducing stress in your life can be challenging, but it is crucial for healing!

Stress can lead to a number of health issues. As I’ve mentioned in other blogs, meditation—even if just for a few minutes a day—can be significantly beneficial.

More ways to treat leaky gut include:

• Avoiding drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol
• Avoiding fried foods
• Switching to organic foods
• Adopting an alkaline, whole-food, plant-based diet
• Incorporating natural supplements that assist with cellular repair and gut health

A Holistic Approach to Healing

Healing the gut takes time and commitment. Leaky gut does not develop overnight, and reversing its effects requires consistency and lifestyle adjustments. Nourishing your body with whole foods, reducing stress, and incorporating beneficial nutrients can make a significant difference in your overall health.
