Does All Disease Begin in the Gut?

Why are we so passionate about Leaky Gut Awareness?

The bottom line is this: fixing the gut will impact just about every other area of your body.

There are millions of people in the world struggling right now with things like low energy, depression, infertility, or even heart disease who have no idea how much their gut health influences these conditions.

I’m not arguing that the gut is the root cause of all things… but what I do know is that it plays a huge role in how all the systems in your body function. Show me someone with a broken gut and I will show you someone with multiple health complaints other than their GI symptoms.

That’s why fixing your gut is the first step to overcoming chronic illness.

And in today’s videos, we’re going to dive into fixing the gut and how that impacts various other systems in your body, like your immune system, fertility, and thyroid function.

Today’s Action Step

Gratitude changes everything.

When I’m mad, gratitude helps me get calm again. When I’m sad, gratitude helps me get happy again. When I’m ready to give up, gratitude helps me keep going for another day.

During my healing journey, gratitude was a huge factor that helped me get to where I am today.

Today’s exercise is all about gratitude.

For me, I was blown away to see how much my skin improved when I started healing my gut. I was always struggling with acne and it magically disappeared when I started focusing on my gut.

I’ve heard just about everything over the years… from sex drive to headaches… but I’d love to hear from you. Look forward to seeing you in the comments.
