Gut Instincts - Guide Recipe
Bacteria , yeast , and fungus , oh my! The human microbiome can seem like a scary place under a microscope , and indeed , the results can be quite horrifying when thrown out of balance. Bloating , discomfort , and irregularity are just the beginning for those so unlucky to experience it themselves. Probiotics are essential for restoring internal (and especially intestinal) peace , found naturally in fermented foods like sauerkraut , yogurt , and kimchi , and more fortified processed foods than ever. Less fanfare is given to prebiotics , supplements that actually rebuild those good bacteria existing in your system , supporting your unique flora and fauna already hard at work.
There’s no one size fits all solution to wellness , which is why the current state of the probiotic craze makes little sense. Some strains may work well for some people , not at all for others , and yet there’s scant information on how to best utilize the wealth of choices now at our disposal. Country Life’s Gut Connection offers a targeted approach to address specific concerns , all stemming from a microbiome at odds.
Given the opportunity to use myself as a test subject for this innovative approach to holistic health , I was intrigued , if a bit skeptical as I broke the seal on a new bottle of Digestive Balance. I already take daily probiotic supplements , so I thought I was already doing reasonable due diligence on the issue. Prone to overindulgence at times and a voracious appetite for all things new , particularly unusual , I’m no stranger varying degrees of distress after a night on the town. Just one week in , I felt a real difference not just in physical symptoms , but overall well-being. If not for carefully logging my results to stay accountable , I would have doubted the impact , too.
“Balance” is a moving target and a difficult concept to define , but in this regard , can be distilled to four primary components:
- Clear signals between gut and brain.
- Gut microbiota helps maintain immune system.
- Healthy gut lining.
- Happy digestive track.
Simple , right? If you have the right tools at your disposal , it really is! Everyone should be so fortunate to achieve that sort of internal harmony , so I’m pleased to share a FREE full bottle of Energy Balance with one lucky reader! Enter your details in the form below , and tell me in the comment section: Do you take pre- or probiotics? Have you struggled with poor digestion , and do you think it may be linked to frequent fatigue or general lethargy?
