Root Cause #5: Dysbiosis

Root Cause #5: Dysbiosis

Did you know that you have 2-5 pounds of bacteria in your gut? In fact, we actually have more bacteria in and on our bodies than we do human cells! When I first learned this my mind was completely blown. 

The bacteria in our gut have a say in so many facets of our health including: 

  • Our mental health
  • Our digestive health
  • Our skin health
  • Our hormone balance
  • And more! 

The overall goal is not to have zero “bad” bacteria, we just want our good bacteria to outweigh the bad. Probiotic bacteria act as your little digestive army, helping to ward off any offenders that try to invade protect you from illness. 

  • Bad breath
  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Bloating
  • Chest pain
  • Upset stomach 
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Brain fog
  • Fatigue
  • Rashes

In addition to looking at your medical history and your symptoms, you can utilize a GI Map test to look for dysbiosis. 

  • Focusing on blood sugar balance
  • Adding in prebiotic fiber to feed your good gut bacteria
  • Working on stress management
  • Getting lots of sunshine
  • Potentially adding in specific and targeted probiotics
  • Utilizing herbal supplements or antibiotic treatments to help “kill the dysbiotic bacteria 

Working with a professional to help you identify the exact triggers of the symptoms you are experiencing can help you utilize the proper interventions and rebalance your gut bacteria. 

This course will teach you how to identify your underlying “root causes,” how to address them specifically with nutrition, lifestyle and supplements, and how to maintain your results long-term so that you can finally beat the bloat for good!
