As far back as 400 BC, Hippocrates stated that “death sits in the bowels” and that “bad digestion is the root of all evil.” In the 1900s, Elie Metchnikoff, a Russian-born zoologist and microbiologist, postulated that gut florae contributed to our health and longevity and LX Medical agrees! Our insight into dietary changes, supplements, peptides and lifestyle changes aim to empower you on a path to superior gut health. Trust in our commitment to your wellness journey, as we explore the pivotal role your gut plays in overall health and guide you toward sustained vitality.
Poor Gut Health Causes:
- Aging (lower NAD, lower mitochondrial energy, lower anti-oxidant levels, sub-optimal vitamin/nutrient/amino acid levels, etc.)
- Hormone imbalances
- Increased cortisol levels
- Poor sleep
- Fatigue
- Skin changes
- Autoimmune issues
- Micronutrient deficiencies
This all contributes to inflammation in the body, and the body’s inability to be “adaptive,” or what some call metabolically flexible. This means your immune system can’t block illnesses as well and autoimmune problems/allergies can worsen. This also means that when you invariably get sick throughout the year, you can’t recover as quickly.
Ways to aid and fuel your Gut Health include:
Healthy diet, high in vegetables and low in sugar
- Balance fiber blend (ask us about our LX Specialty fiber!)
- Probiotics
- Stress reduction
- Optimizing your sleep
- Taking the right kinds of supplements depending on your individual needs
- Peptide BPC-157 liposomal tablets
- Avoiding high inflammatory foods
Participating in our Predictive 360 assessment is a great place to start!
