Did you know that the health of your gut could be influencing your overall wellbeing? Ever wonder why you don’t get the same results as someone else you may know who has tried some fad diet or gym workout promising results? Exercise, healthcare, diets, life in general is not one-size fits all, and frankly what works for someone else may not work for you… and guess what, that’s attributed to your uniqueness! We all have our very own unique microbiome, aka your bowel/gut community of microbes, or microorganisms that exist and carry out major functions within you to make you the unique individual that you are! That’s right your gut health could very well be your over all health! The gut is responsible for the majority of the immune system, nutrient absorption, metabolism and producing the body’s much needed “happy chemicals” Dopamine and serotonin!-All of which are linked to your body’s ability to function at it’s highest capacity and hence the best version of you. Furthermore, the way your microbiome responds to certain foods that you eat is just as unique. To sum things up and not overwhelm you, knowing your gut microbiome and what it is doing can be the key to ridding you of brain fog, unwanted weight gain/loss, insomnia, fatigue, skin issues, and IBS symptoms (bloating, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, indigestion etc.).
When I started my journey over 7 years ago, I wanted relief from brain fog, depression, insomnia and excessive stressing… all which my doctors, mentors, counselors, family and friends attributed to my age, being a college student, dealing with trauma and boy issues, LIFE etc… I practiced self-care, always have and will, ate a good diet even became a vegan eventually, worked out, and still did not feel like my best self. I can honestly say I am finally getting somewhere close! Putting my gut health into perspective prioritizing sleep and my brain health has afforded me the clarity I need. I ate a ton of spinach, and found that tomato paste is the base for almost every sauce, but these two foods alone are not good for me… I would have never known had I not tested my gut health with VIOME. It’s an enlightening journey to be on and I am grateful to share it with you. When you are ready to embark on your unique journey to overall wellness, starting with your gut can be your key!
