Your Hope for COVID19

28/3/2020

I'd like to share with you some ideas, info and hope for the days ahead.

COVID-19 virus has thrown us all through a loop, but instead of giving way to fear, I invite you to join me in embracing hope - because there is also SO much good coming out of this pandemic and there is also much we can do to help ourselves and others.

Most of you are following me because you have digestive problems, and I’m still here to help you with that... AND in the meantime, set you up for strength and resilience.

For example, did you know that our gut is also home to 70-80% of our immune system?!

That means our gut health plays a pivotal role in our immune health - we want to doing everything we can to support digestion and nourish our organs so we have a strong immune system.

So let’s look at two important areas we need to attend to:

1) Our gut is responsible for getting nutrients in and toxins out. We need a properly functioning digestive system to make FULL use of the food that we ARE eating, as well as get rid of by-products/poisons so our energy and immune systems aren’t depleted more than necessary.

2) Our gut is also home to billions of beneficial bacteria that are meant to protect the lining of our gastrointestinal lining (preventing "leaky gut") and also to trigger and train the antibodies involved in our immune responses!

SO here's my message of hope for you.

For the next few weeks – or as long as the COVID-19 pandemic is with us – I’m going to be sharing LOTS of empowering information, research, food and supplement recommendations, recipes, etc so that you'll know what to eat and do to build strong digestion and a healthy microbiome.

I'll keep posting articles here on my website, but the best way to stay up to date is to join my It Takes Guts Community Learning & Support Group private facebook group.

Or, if you prefer email, you can always send me a note that you'd like to receive regular emails and I'll put you on my list where I send out only 1 to 2 essential information emails a week.

Be EXTRA kind to yourself and others at this time.... and remember, hope and kindness are contagious too!

With love for you, your gut, your immune system and the overall wellbeing of this world,
Katanne

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!
