Gut Health Basics and When To Seek A Professional Dr. Ann Barter - Gut Health Reset [email protected] https://altfammed.com/about-us/dr-barter/ Gut health refers to the balance and harmony of the microorganisms in our digestive tract. These microorganisms play a crucial role in our overall health, from our immune system to our mental health. When our gut is out of balance, it can lead to a variety of health issues, including digestive problems, autoimmune diseases, and even mental health disorders. There are a few key things everyone can do to support their gut health. First, eat a diverse diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Second, avoid processed foods, sugar, and artificial sweeteners. Third, manage stress through practices like meditation, yoga, or therapy. Finally, make sure to stay hydrated and get enough sleep. If you're experiencing persistent digestive issues, such as bloating, gas, constipation, or diarrhea, it may be time to see a professional. Other signs to look out for include fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and skin problems. These symptoms can be indicative of an underlying gut issue that requires medical attention.
