So many questions! Do you need any clarity on these topics?👇🏻
Holistic nutrition and gut health are two components of overall wellness that are often overlooked. Basically, imagine your body as a well-oiled machine, with each part working in harmony to keep you running smoothly. 🚙 Holistic nutrition is the practice of nourishing your body with whole, natural foods to maintain that balance, while gut health focuses on keeping your digestive system in great shape.
Holistic nutrition isn't just about eating your vegetables and skipping the junk food though.. .it's about understanding the impact of every bite you take.
It's a comprehensive approach that considers the quality, variety, and balance of your diet. By choosing foods that are as close to their natural state as possible, you provide your body with the essential nutrients it needs to thrive.
Think fresh fruits, vibrant vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. These foods are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support your body’s natural processes.
But that's just PART of it.
Your gut is LITERALLY your “second brain" and is home to trillions of bacteria that play a crucial role in your overall health. 🧠 GOOD bacteria is crucial! A healthy gut can improve digestion, boost your mood, and strengthen your immune system, while an unhealthy gut can lead to a host of issues, including bloating, fatigue, and even chronic diseases.
But here's the PROBLEM in 2024 that most of us face...
Even with the best intentions and an amazing diet, it’s nearly impossible to get all the nutrients your body needs from food alone.
This is where supplements come in.
Due to soil depletion, modern farming practices, and the processing of foods, our food supply lacks the nutrients it once had. Nutritional gaps are the nutrients that are missing from our diet, and they can lead to deficiencies over time. Signs you might have nutritional gaps include constant fatigue, frequent colds, poor concentration, and brittle hair & nails, stubborn metabolism, aches & joint discomfort, moodiness, poor sleep, etc.
Any of that sound familiar??
You need the RIGHT supplements with super high absorption rates (don't waste your money on multivitamins that don't even absorb) to help fill these gaps. In addition to the right vitamin set, Omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics, and vitamin D are also some of the most common supplements that support overall health.
Start by making small changes, like adding more whole foods to your meals and incorporating fermented foods into your diet.
If you're incorporating holistic nutrition and prioritizing gut health, you're on the right track!
Level it up by taking the right supplements into your daily routine. It doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. That's where I come in to help! Your body will thank you for it, and you’ll be on your way to a healthier, happier you!
