Addressing ADHD naturally - gut health, magnesium, zinc, Iron, B6, vitamin D, omega 3
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
What type of zinc is best? In children, the zinc shown to work well is zinc sulfate (55 mg/day). Btw – this is the same zinc that helps with acne so it may be helpful for teenagers..What type(s) of magnesium are best? Magnesium glycinate or L-Threonate. My personal preference is L-Threonate because of the mood benefits. Also, may be helpful for teenagers. 😉.Consuming enough protein is also key to helping with ADHD. Protein influences neurotransmitters such as dopamine..Exercise (or energetic play) is helpful for ADHD.Sleep is key to helping with ADHD..Finally, gut health (the microbiome) imbalances do play a role...
The supplement industry is full of products that aren't quality products - gut health

If any of you know me, you know I like to recommend other products from other brands a lot. Let’s face it, there are a lot of products being sold online that are NOT good products so I personally like to offersuggestions on where else to buy products that I personally know will be great quality..I personally like that @nowfoodsofficial is testing all sorts of products found on Amazon for quality.

Acid blockers are common "cures" for heartburn, but what's the cost? - gut health, reflux, indigestion, bloating

They are so convenient to use, right? Plus, they're what everyone suggests using. But if a person doesn’t want to use them? What do they do?.There are food and dietary changes that will help reduce the chances of getting reflux. Who doesn’t get at least a little stomach discomfort after a super greasy meal? .What can help?✔️Losing belly fat, but that isn’t going to happen overnight. ✔️Using magnesium (like magnesium malate) and zinc-carnosine ✔️Not eating late at night. ✔️Not sitting around or sleeping after meals. I’m sure most have heard of these suggestions..We think of reflux/heartburn as an overall sign...

What's the best way to counteract years of consuming things that aren’t good for someone?.1️⃣ Increase motility: It's very difficult for anything to go anywhere if the system is not moving correctly. When the internal system is stagnant, bad things will continue to grow and increase causing all sorts of issues..2️⃣ Clean out: When I say “clean out” I literally mean a removal of bacteria toxins, virus toxins, environmental toxins, chemical toxins, mold toxins, etc. A real clean up actually cleans out real bad things..How does the body normally clean up toxins/antigens?

“I’ve been on the Upper GI Relief for a week now. When does it work?”.Upper GI Relief isn’t a laxative. That’s not what it is doing. It is helping restart your system to work on its own. If you need immediate help with constipation, try magnesium malate/citrate and/or a high dose of vitamin C. .If you want to help your stomach not be reliant upon products for regularity, please stick with the Upper GI Relief and let it do its thing.

Naturally increase production of glutathione - gut health, detoxification, toxin overload

Glutathione is considered the body’s master detoxifier. Some suggest glutathione eliminates mercury, lead, aluminum, mycotoxins, etc. and that low levels of glutathione are associated with inflammatory issues (autoimmune diseases, RA, lupus, MS, psoriasis, etc.). .What I have found in my research is that glutathione helps fix the damage caused by heavy metals and other toxins. Without enough glutathione the body can’t detox properly..Vitamin D naturally increases glutathione production (up to 43%).Vitamin C naturally increases glutathione levels (up to 47%).Healthy foods like spinach, avocados, asparagus, etc. are all good sources of glutathione..Gut bacteria help regulate glutathione production and nutrient absorption affects...

Eating health can cause bloating and gas - probiotics, digestive enzymes, gut health

Whenever the body can’t break down foods properly, bloating and gas occur. Bloating is a sign that digestive capacity isn’t where it needs to be. .Highly nutritious foods can also cause intense bloating..I spent over a year rebuilding my digestive capacity for foods like broccoli before I reintroduced them into my diet.

Slow motility may be to blame for diarrhea and loose stools - gut health, digestion, constipation, SIBO, GERD, gastritis
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
I have learned some interesting things over the years working with our science team. One interesting point is that slow motility causes rapid motility. Let me explain..If you have ever had food poisoning of any kind you know it causes severe diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. What happens is that the body receives a toxin overload and in order to fight it the body draws a lot of water into the system to flush it out rapidly. The body does not like toxins. .When a person has slow motility (which is associated with SIBO, IBS, GERD, Gastritis, etc.), they basically have...

From Slow Motility to Leaky Gut - gut health, probiotics, SIBO, candida, bacteria overgrowth, constipation, bloating, heartburn
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
We always start with the same question, “Do we need to start by addressing motility issues first? Do constipation, diarrhea, heartburn/reflux, nausea, bloating, burping, and severe bloating in any combination exist?” If so, these need to be addressed first. If these don’t exist, then step 2 is a fantastic place to start!.Yes, addressing leaky gut can have a significant impact on health.Yes, bacteria imbalances can lead to slow motility which causes even worse bacteria imbalances. Once motility issues exist, cleaning up bacteria and fungal imbalances is almost impossible. Addressing bacteria imbalances is secondary to addressing motility issues..Most people have not...
Gut health can affect bone health, here's how - Vitamin K2, Vitamin D3, malabsorption
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
Why should bone health be a focus for those with poor gut health?🔹Overtreatment of thyroid issues can cause bone loss. If anyone has ever had thyroid issues, they know that thyroid levels bounce around a lot.🔹Weakened bones lead to problems with posture.🔹Bloating and constipation are signs of digestive problems and digestive problems lead to malabsorption of essential nutrients for bone health.🔹Antidepressants are found to cause lower bone mineral density.🔹If nails are brittle, then likely so are the bones..The good news is that gut health can be improved, and studies show that combining Vitamins K2 and D3 together can significantly increase...

Motility issues are linked to causing bacteria imbalances.).Please also notice stress, diet and lack of exercise. 🔹When a person has high stress, they can bloat. 🔹When a person eats unhealthy or even loads up on too many healthy foods they can bloat. Yes, eating a lot of certain fruits and vegetables can cause bloating. 🔹And I think we all generally recognize that exercise is good...
Probiotics are not all the same, nor do they function the same

Probiotics are not all the same. Not even close, actually. They don’t necessarily even contain the same TYPES of strains let alone the same strains. .Most companies focus their efforts on reseeding probioticstrains when formulating their probiotic products. Many focus on larger numbers and more strains because more is better, right? This is why fast-food restaurants super-size everything. Everyone wants "more for their money.".Silver Fern™ Brand asked its microbiologist to make our probiotic so that it improved the gut conditions and environment of consumers in a dramatic way. Generally speaking, we wanted a probiotic that started with helping motility, then...

Vitamin K2 and D3 are optimal for bone health, find out why
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
I think most people know that there are lot of benefits from supplementing with vitamin D3. What most people DO NOT know is that Vitamin D3 and K2 together are BEST, especially for bone health.🦴.Most people ask why we only suggest 1,000 IUs of Vitamin D3 per day. Our dietitians and gut experts think that when a person has good gut health and are utilizing their nutrients correctly all that should be needed is 1,000 IUs.
