Do you know how important your digestive tract is? Let's chat for a moment... your digestive tract is essential in:

1.  Getting nutrients out of your food. If you can't digest what you eat, all that pricey organic food and buckets of spinach won't do you any good! Most people have some kind of digestive issue... and by fixing the gut you can make this efficient, effective, and how it's supposed to be!

2.  Your gut is in charge of removing waste from the body. This isn't all 'toxins' though it does detoxify too, but your normal body process, even if it's in tip top shape, always means recycling old cells, cleaning up small injuries and getting rid of the viruses and bacteria that your immune system trapped. Even digesting food, breathing, and expending energy create 'metabolic waste' and your gut is in charge of getting this OUT of the body. 

3.  Your gut has a huge part of your immune system in it! It's one of the first lines of defense your body has against foreign invaders. 

4.  Your gut is lined with a microbiome... or an ecosystem of (what is supposed to be) beneficial bacteria. These bacteria secrete enzymes to help you process vitamins and minerals and other essential nutrients, and also serve as a barrier so that your food isn't directly against your delicate intestinal wall.  The problem? When your ecosystem is off balance- often from pharmaceuticals especially antibiotics, or heavy metals, or other environmental toxins, your gut can be taken over with pathogenic bacteria that feed on your food and instead of helping you out, their 'output' is toxic signals that can even act like a drug (brain-fog like opioids, or paranoia/impulsive behavior like meth) to your brain! Crazy, right? Yes, and literally... this can be the cause of 'crazy' or mental health issues.
