Soil and Guts

29/6/2020

0 Comments

 
I remember when I used to be bloated ALL the time, and I had the worst gas.

Like, peel-the-paint kind of farts.

It was terribly embarrassing, especially since I was a professional dancer at the time.
Picture
Wearing tight clothes for rehearsals meant I had to REALLY suck in my gut to hide the bloating, and since my body was moving in all kinds of ways, it was very difficult to not fart by accident.

This meant I was often distracted, and with the brain-fog that comes with gut issues, I definitely wasn’t rocking my dance career.

And that wasn’t the worst of it, of course. There were many days I couldn't dance or enjoy other activities because my guts were knotted with cramps. Or I'd had another bout of diarrhea. Or I felt nauseous. Or I was just too exhausted.

I’m SOOO glad those days are over now.

Where did the bloating, gas, cramps and diarrhea come from?​
It took me many, many years to figure it out even BEFORE I decided to go to school and specialize in nutrition and digestion. Many years! So pleeeease, don’t feel bad if you don't know either!

Right now, JUNE, is a perfect time for us to talk about our microbiome, the place where many of the symptoms I just mentioned begin.
Picture
Why? Well, all of nature is blooming and growing – and the plants have the soil to thank for that.

​
What makes that soil good? Proper nutrients and pH, yes, but also something else. Symbiotic relationships between the microbes and fungi, and the plants! (Symbiotic refers to what is mutually beneficial)

It is the same in our gut. We have our own inner gardens of microbes to attend to so that they can help protect and nourish us. They need the right nutrients, pH and each other!

When our microbiome is balanced and healthy, it prevents pathogens from creating noxious gas in our guts, it helps us break down our food so we get the nutrients we need, it prevents inflammation and regulates our bowel movements.

This and so much more!

Stay tuned because I’m dedicating June to Nourishing a Healthy Microbiome - your own inner garden!  ​​

    Hi, I'm Katanne - Nutritionist and Gut Health Specialist. My talent and passion is helping busy people like you to  finally enjoy food and life again!! By resolving painful and annoying digestive issues,  we then have energy and enthusiam for our life!
    ​As a busy, do-too-much, everyone-else-comes-first type of person, I learned the hard way that this kind of stress compromises both gut and health. It took ten years to perfect a healing approach that is less about food and more about how we manage our stress.... stress that impacts our digestion, and stress that we over-doers tend to bring on ourselves. We all need efficient and effective solutions that we can integrate today, so here are some simple tips of what to eat and do to bring enjoyment back to your eating and living!
