Manage your gut health with your personalised lifestyle blueprint

Diets high in processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats can promote dysbiosis, an imbalance in gut bacteria. Further certain foods can trigger inflammatory responses in susceptible individuals, exacerbating digestive issues. We look to understand your symptoms through identifying and eliminating these trigger foods, often through an elimination diet. By adapting the diet we aim to support gut health and promote a healthy microbiome.

The gut-brain axis is a two-way communication system between the gut and the brain, and stress can significantly disrupt this system. Chronic stress can alter gut motility, increase gut permeability, and negatively impact the microbiome.

Regular exercise can increase the diversity of the gut microbiome, which is crucial for overall gut health. Exercise has been shown to enhance the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, reduce inflammation, and improve gut barrier function. However, we also explore balancing exercise intensity, as excessive exercise can stress the body and negatively impact the gut.

Poor sleep can affect the gut microbiome and increase intestinal permeability. Adequate and regular sleep patterns support the maintenance of a healthy gut microbiome and reduce the risk of gut inflammation.

Exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides, heavy metals, and certain food additives can disrupt the gut microbiome and contribute to gut lining damage. Reducing exposure to these toxins and supporting the body’s natural detoxification processes through diet and lifestyle can help protect gut health.
