Is Your Inflammation linked to your
GUT Microbiome?
Is it no longer a myth that our Gut Health is directly linked to our overall health and your internal inflammatory responses, with thousands of referenced and published articles now linking the the gut, autoimmune conditions, hormonal changes, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, non alcohol fatty liver disease, arthritis and so many more CHRONIC health conditions.
“The gut microbiota encompasses a diverse community of bacteria that carry out various functions influencing the overall health of the host”
“These comprise nutrient metabolism, immune system regulation and natural defence against infection. The presence of certain bacteria is associated with inflammatory molecules that may bring about inflammation in various body tissues. Inflammation underlies many chronic multisystem conditions including obesity, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes mellitus and inflammatory bowel disease”
“Inflammation may be triggered by structural components of the bacteria which can result in a cascade of inflammatory pathways involving interleukins and other cytokines. Similarly, by-products of metabolic processes in bacteria, including some short-chain fatty acids, can play a role in inhibiting inflammatory processes. Based on the current literature, it appears that as the gut microbiota composition differs between individuals and is contingent on a variety of factors like diet and genetics, some individuals may possess bacteria associated with pro-inflammatory effects whilst others may harbour those with anti-inflammatory effects.
Recent technological advancements have allowed for better methods of characterising the gut microbiota. Further research to continually improve our understanding of the inflammatory pathways that interact with bacteria may elucidate reasons behind varying presentations of the same disease and varied responses to the same treatment in different individuals. Furthermore, it can inform clinical practice as anti-inflammatory microbes can be employed in probiotic therapies or used to identify suitable prebiotic therapies.”
Then we look at the plethora of Auto Immune conditions, we see in society quadrupling and with so many more medications being sought which can only really bring a long list of steroid and pain relief medications simply to mask the problem but never address the underlying gut microbiome.
“Further unresolved low grade systemic inflammation represents the underlying pathological mechanism driving immune and metabolic pathways involved in autoimmune diseases (AID). The gut microbiota and its metabolites have been shown to influence immune functions and immune homeostasis both within the gut and systematically” 3
What does this mean and how are you going to overcome the medication you are taking to calm the flames of inflammation and restore your gut health?
Well, you are in luck and in good hands with a technically advanced and science-backed approach to restoring the small intestinal microbiome with natural medicines that have been complementing complete recovery from illnesses or at least, calming the inflammation response and PAIN you are living with daily.
Over the past decade or two, Phoenix Rising Fx and I have been employing naturopathic protocols that have worked beautifully, coupled with genetic information obtained through a simple cheek swab and sent to an independent lab that then gives us a comprehensive report based on your predispositions to the food and nutritional genetics that govern how your diet may be letting you down. 1
Change your perception if how you can help yourself and look at these protocols for yourself. First you have to have the courage to want to make a change and reduce the rollercoaster of health symptoms you are receiving. Working with a qualified nutrigenomic and gut microbiome practitioner allows you to really get to the “bottom” of your health and then make simple and effective changes while being supported and not left on your own to ramble through worrying health concerns.
If you are ready to be brave and make some simple changes with some protocols that work…this it your time to be healthier!
