The human gut has a bigger impact on our health than most people realize. A healthy gut contributes to a strong immune system, heart health, brain health, improved mood, healthy sleep, and effective digestion. So, how do we get a healthier gut? I’m glad you asked!

My favorite combination is a month of probiotic + unmodified potato starch, as well as betaine HCL with solid meals. As a trio, many will make some extra gains while training and using those supplements.

First and foremost, I have clients look at all their food intolerances and ensure we eliminate those specific foods, followed by high doses of L Glutamine, pre-biotics and digestive enzymes. Depending on the situation I also find that intermittent fasting can have benefits to give the digestive system longer periods of time to recover and rebuild.

I love Genestra HMF Forte. Probiotics work for me, along with a healthy diet and magnesium in the evening! Magnesium plays a role in numerous enzymes systems throughout the body. A few of these processes include energy production from protein, carbohydrate, and fat metabolism. Magnesium may also improve your sleep. It plays an important role in your nervous system, helping to activate mechanisms that quiet and calm you.

Identify and cut food sensitivities and intolerances. Bring in probiotics, hydrochloric acid, and enzymes to increase your natural digestion and help regenerate damaged intestinal mucosa. Maintain a good lifestyle.

By the age of 35 or so, stomach acid production declines significantly, making it even more difficult to digest your food. You can eat the best food in the world, but you’ll only benefit from that food if you’re able to digest it. Furthermore, undigested food can cause problems, so it’s important to support the digestive tract with hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes.

Sauerkraut helps immensely! The good bacteria from sauerkraut helps to keep the lining of your digestive system healthy. Sauerkraut is rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
