How to protect and repair your microbiome alongside antibiotics
When was your last course of antibiotics? Did you suffer symptoms during or after antibiotic treatment? Did you protect your microbiome health while taking antibiotics? And have you done a microbiome test to see if your gut microbiome needs any targeted support to repair? These are questions we often ask during a first consultation where we explore a client’s health history.
How to Manage Reflux Naturally
Reflux, or Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is a chronic condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the oesophagus, leading to mucosal damage and symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation of food or acid, chest pain, chronic cough, difficulty swallowing and dental erosion.
Gut dysbiosis contributes to both reflux and GORD symptoms. Using Microbiome testing to identify the cause, and natural therapies to alleviate symptoms, is the key to managing reflux and protecting the gut microbiome.
My love affair with Cinnamon
Cinnamon has been valued for centuries for its medicinal properties, and research shows it can be effective in reducing high blood pressure, regulating glucose levels, reducing inflammation, and improving cognition.
The Gut Microbiome and Autoimmune Disease
Research shows that the digestive condition known as leaky gut (or intestinal permeability) is a common factor in the biological mechanism that leads to the onset of autoimmune disease.
