The Importance of Gut Health for Total Body Wellness

Understanding the importance of gut health is a vital part of maintaining total body wellness. The first step to mastering gut health is understanding the gut microbiome. Here, live both “good” and “bad” bacteria. This “good” bacteria is responsible for breaking down and digesting our food, as well as keeping the “bad” bacteria at bay. When you have an equal balance of both “good” and “bad” bacteria, your GI tract is considered to be in equilibrium and is able to function properly. It is easy for an influx of “bad” bacteria to build, causing your body to turn fiber into fatty acids, potentially leading to diabetes. Moreover, an imbalance in bacteria levels in your gut can also lead to inflammation in the body, IBS, and a number of other health issues ranging from constant fatigue to heart disease. So where does our journey to a disease-free, healthy life begin? With our gut. There are a number of ways to nurture your gut, but it all starts with your nutrition. In a world where there’s a fast food restaurant on every corner, and food delivery has never been more convenient, we often swap immediate gratification for our health without realizing all that we’re compromising. This, among many other reasons, is why our Wellness Center decided to offer THRIVE Nutrition to our clients. While it is not a cure-all, the THRIVE 3 Step Nutrition is a great place to start. It’s as simple as taking 2 capsules before your feet hit the floor, drinking a vitamin packed shake full of pre and probiotics and digestive enzymes to kick-start you digestive system, and sticking on a wearable DFT patch to keep your body going the rest of the day. These 3 simple steps are enough to fill in your nutritional gaps, and pave the way for a healthy lifestyle. Focusing on nurturing your gut doesn’t stop there though. While our THRIVE 3 step system sets the foundation for a healthy gut, our bodies still require proper hydration and fuel to adequately digest food. It is vital to remember that food is the gas which fuels the body. Without proper nutrition, our bodies become prone to disease, our immune systems become weaker, and our organs can’t function as they should. Drinking half of your body weight in ounces of water daily, as well as being conscious of the foods your fueling your body with is where it all starts. The Revive Wellness team knows that taking these first steps can be intimidating for some, and seem impossible for others, which is why we have also decided to offer 8 week nutrition programs with coach Heather Fogle, Thriver, and long time friend of owner, Denise Crowell. Heather offers one-on-one nutrition coaching for our clients in order to help them discover eating habits that work best for them and their bodies. Together, the team at the Wellness Center is working to help transform the lives of our clients through education and Nutrition programs, to help them live a disease-free, healthy life. Want to learn more about the THRIVE 3 Step Nutrition system or coach Heather’s classes? Call us today, or message us on one of our social media platforms.

We encourage our clients to be their own advocates and do research through reading books like Eat To Beat Disease, to get a better understanding of the importance of proper nutrition.
