What's Wrong is Just One Chapter

After 10 years in this field, I know the digestive system very well - how it affects and influences every other aspect of our mental, emotional and physical health, as well as our dependance upon it to avoid or recover from disease. ​

So I sometimes become very focused on what is wrong in the gut and what to worry about.

And for this I must regularly remind myself: "What's wrong" is just one chapter in the book, not the the whole story!

Before we dive into all thats wrong and begin a descent into fear and worry, let's zoom out and take a look at the big picture.

The Wonder of Our Body

Every once and a while, its important to shine the light on the wonder of the human body - how it knows what to do - especially when we are not well!

Yes, you may not have eaten the best foods this week/month/year.

Yes, you may have serious health challenges to manage.

Yes, you may have too much stress to deal with.

BUT that doesn't mean you're done for, or that your body doesn't know how to rebuild, rebalance, renew right now.

For example, if you get a cut on our hand, it doesn't stay open. You don't have to tell it how to heal - it just does! Why would it be any different inside your body?

​Think about the cells of your body making up the tissues, organs and systems - and recall that they are always renewing themselves! Just check it out in this chart to the left!

We are magnificently and mysteriously made. And though science has learned much about our physiology, biochemistry, neurology, etc... there is still so. much. to. learn.

For example, we know now that good digestion and nourishment depends on our microbiome,
​(a unique-to-you combination of over 3 trillion bacteria). Yes, this microbiome is under attack from chemicals and drugs in our food, air and water - but it is also always changing and can be easily rejuvenated with probiotic foods or supplements, and a natural plant-based diet.

So I'm linking this incredible 3 minute film that was made by Harvard University years ago, to illuminate the complexity and intellegence of what happens inside a single cell. It thrilled me years ago when I was studying microbiology, and inspired me that THE BODY KNOWS.

If you're suffering dis-ease in any way, it is a call for attention and assistance, not fear and worry.
Know your body is well equipped to heal.

​All it needs is for you is to be attentive and willing to learn how to support it's natural capacity to rebuild and renew itself.
