How To Reduce Inflammation, Heal Your Gut And Prevent Disease
This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and HigherDOSE. Gut health literally affects your entire body. Your gut houses 500 species and three pounds of bacteria. Too many bad gut flora (including parasites and yeast) or not enough good ones can spell serious trouble for your health. This is why if you want to fix your health, start with your gut. In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk about the gut-immune and gut-brain connection, what imbalances our gut health, and my top strategies for reducing inflammation and healing the gut.
