The 9 biggest gut destroyers that are making you sicker:
1. Diet
Your digestive tract will digest 30-50 tons of food in your lifetime
What you feed yourself determines how well this system will work
Eating a standard American diet filled with:
Refined carbs
Hydrogenated fats
Food additives
Preservatives
Is going to slow you down

2. Medications
What’s used to treat you may actually make matters worse
Chronic use of certain meds damages your gut
And could even contribute to other serious health challenges down the line
Simply by messing up your gut flora

Simply by messing up your gut flora
These are commonly used meds that negatively affect your gut:
Antibiotics
Proton pump inhibitors (heartburn)
Opioids
Calcium Channel blocker (High blood Pressure)
Steroids
NSAIDs (Advil etc)
If you have IBS/SIBO and took these meds before, now you know why

3. Food allergies/Sensitivities/Intolerances
Allergies to certain foods can be lethal (3% of you)
The rest of you will eat things that you struggle to digest
Which result in symptoms like
Nausea
Bloating
Headaches
Hyperactivity
These are telltale signs of food sensitivities

Which result in symptoms like
Nausea
Bloating
Headaches
Hyperactivity
These are telltale signs of food sensitivities
Food sensitivities can be felt hours or days after eating a certain food
These trigger your gut’s immune system
And cause what’s known as a leaky gut
Long term leaky gut = Autoimmune diseases

Lastly
A food intolerance is when you struggle to digest what you eat
Without it causing an immune response
This is because your body doesn't have the means to break this food down
Common food intolerances include:
Eggs
Dairy
Gluten

4. Weak Stomach Acid
Your stomach is a powerful organ
It's powerful acidic environment is vital for proper digestion
and making sure you absorb important vitamins and minerals:
Vitamin B12
Calcium
Magnesium
Copper
Zinc

Vitamin B12
Calcium

Copper

Your stomach acid is also the first line of defense for killing off any bad bacteria that entered your body through the food you ate
Using medications to lower stomach acid destroys these defenses
and puts you at risk for serious digestive issues

Studies show that commonly used antacid increase your risk of all cause mortality by 25%

Screwing up your stomach acid results in:
Poor protein digestion
Reduced nutrient absorption
Increased food allerginicity
They're a disaster for your health

5. Pancreatic Insufficiency
Most of your food is digested by enzymes
These proteins are released in your small intestine by your specialized organ known as the pancreas
Most of your food is digested by enzymes
These proteins are released in your small intestine by your specialized organ known as the pancreas
You pancreas breaks down:
Carbs
Proteins
Fats
Into their smallest units to be absorbed in your bloodstream
A weak pancreas means your food doesn't get properly digested
Which irritates your gut and triggers inflammation/immune response

6. Bile insufficiency
Two other very important digestive organs are your liver and Gallbladder
They make bile acids that help you digest and absorb fats
which are also important for absorbing:
Vitamin D
Vitamin A
Vitamin E
Vitamin K

The production & flow of bile is vital for your wellbeing
Bile helps:
Keep cholesterol balanced
Prevent gallstones
Detoxification
It also regulates your gut microbiome by increasing good bacteria
and eliminating the bad ones
Bile helps:

Detoxification
It also regulates your gut microbiome by increasing good bacteria

When you don't have enough bile
Your gut struggles to flush out whatever junk it needs to
which recycles all the toxins back into your system
and put an even larger burden on your digestive system

Enzymes are the way to go
There are quite a few options:
Ox Bile
Betaine HCL
Pepsin
Full spectrum enzyme formulas are also great to kick your own digestion back into gear

7. Dysbiosis
Dysbiosis is a fancy way of saying an imbalanced gut microbiome
The ratio of good to bad bacteria needs to be kept in harmony
When this fails
The bad bacteria overrun the good guys
This causes you gut discomfort and weakens your immunity

Overgrowth of the following pathogens result in dysbiosis:
Pathogenic bacteria
Yeast/Candida
Parasites
There are various antimicrobial tools at your disposal
Here are some of the popular ones:
Berberine
Oregano Oil
Pau D'Arco
Wormwood
Sodium Caprylate (coconut)

8. Intestinal Permeability
Your gut has a protective barrier
This layer of cells controls what enters into your bloodstream
Compromising this line of defense is what we call a "leaky gut"

Compromising this line of defense is what we call a "leaky gut"
Leaky gut is triggered by:
Food allergies
Dysbiosis
Toxin accumulation
Medications
A compromised gut hyper stimulates your immune system
This leads to autoimmune and systemic (brain/skin) health problems

Here are some of the tools you can use to heal a leaky gut:

9. Toxic Burden
Toxins are everywhere
Food
Air
Water
Home
They're unavoidable
but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to mitigate your exposure to them

Having too many toxins in your body is a burden for your liver
If your liver can't deal with them
They get recycled back into your body
Which triggers inflammation and an immune response
This further damages your gut
This is a fact commonly overlooked by doctors

If you want to lower your toxic burden, do the following:
Fasting
Saunas
Avoid plastic/cosmetics/alcohol
Take glutathione, B vitamins, Magnesium
