Healthy Gut = Healthy You!

-


Have you ever wondered why two people who have the same exposure experience different outcomes – one gets sick, but the other doesn’t? The difference boils down to their immune system.

Did you know that 70% to 80% of your immune system lives in your gut?  Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, known as the gut doctor, explains that the foundation of a healthy gut is in the fiber in whole foods.  And it's important to eat a large variety of fruits and vegetables (suggested 20 to 30 different varieties per week) because each one has its own unique fiber that gives you a larger variety of good bacteria to boost your immunity.  Since this isn't always convenient, I add Quinary to my daily meals.  We follow his suggestion of adding a sprinkle of cinnamon, turmeric, and ginger powder (about 1/8 tsp of each) into our coffee so it becomes a food that improves our gut health. It's delicious! Of course, you need to shift sugar to honey and substitute a plant milk, like oat, for the flavored creamers. 

I highly recommend listening to this educational interview:

Food Good For Your GUT | Interview with Dr. Will Bulsiewicz - YouTube

If you’ve ever attended one of my Health Workshops, you may have heard about my mom suffering from irritable bowel syndrome for several decades, having to carry an extra set of clothes every time she left home.  It affected her self-esteem and created anxiety!  J.J. Virgin’s Diet helped us identify and eliminate the foods that triggered the IBS, but that created feelings of deprivation.  After one of my workshops, mom decided to try Sunrider’s Vitadophilus and began consuming it as recommended.  She experienced bowel improvement within 3 days; and I’ve noticed that she’s ALOT less anxious!  Inspired by her experience and the gut education mentioned above, this concentrated blend is now part of my morning wake-up ritual.  I’m experiencing benefits also.

Sunrider’s proprietary probiotic is formulated with a protective apple pectin coating that insulates it from harsh stomach acids, to ensure fast-acting, maximum nutrient absorption. Each serving supplies at least 20 million live culture bacteria (lactobacillus acidophilus) but doesn’t need refrigeration!

Whole Foods or Chemical Isolates? What’s in Your Cupboard?

Whole Foods or Chemical Isolates? What’s in Your Cupboard? Your choice affects your health and your wealth! Many of us are already investing in our health by shopping at a health food store or farmer’s market.   We believe we’re buying quality vitamins and health supplements.  But are we?  Could these also be substitutes that are weakening our health? Millions of people around the world are choosing to get their vitamins from whole foods. Why do they choose to eat an orange rather than 1,000 mg of Vitamin C? Because they know that most bottled vitamins are chemical isolates. What is a chemical isolate? It is a single element that had been isolated from its natural complex environment.  Dr. Wayne Dyer was a member of the World Hunger Council and shared that this organization created a chemically manufactured wheat. Under a microscope, their laboratory creation is chemically identical to real wheat. BUT there’s a big difference: when put in the ground, it won’t grow. What’s miss

Regeneration or Substitution—which are you choosing?

Regeneration or Substitution —which are you choosing? Why is that an important question? Why does it even matter? Because your choice affects your quality of life! Let’s start with an example:                Credit cards are a convenient substitute for cash, which is an advantage to 1) carrying a lot of cash around and 2) makes bookkeeping a little simpler. And 3) they can be useful in a financial crisis. But what if you have a lifestyle of never budgeting your income to pay off the credit cards?   That leads to bankruptcy.   What we think is a lifestyle of freedom can often create enslavement! What if we live a lifestyle of choosing the convenience of consuming processed ‘fast foods’ in boxes to save ourselves the time and energy it takes to cook? Or what if we choose sugary ‘fake foods’ to soothe our emotions rather than address what’s causing them? That’s when we’re choosing substitution! Choosing low-quality ‘substitute’ foods eventually leads to a health crisis in our b
