Posted by Tiffany Cox on
6 Reasons Silver Fern™ Brand is Different:Most start with the “Band-Aid” approach to gut problems because it is convenient, and they hope the issues will go away on their own. Sometimes this works. Most of the time it doesn’t..After the “Band-Aid” approach doesn’t work people bounce around from supplement company to supplement company spending thousands of dollars with maybe a little success here and there butnothing really works. (My wife and I are guilty of this too!).By the time most people come to Silver Fern™ Brand they are program and product exhausted. Thousands of dollars have gotten them nowhere..What makes...

6 Reasons why most people don't succeed when addressing leaky gut issues - gut health, probiotics, prebiotics
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
6 Reasons Why Most People Don’t Succeed at Addressing Leaky Gut Issues:1️⃣ They start halfway through the process, not at the beginning2️⃣ They jump the gun and start with the wrong products because they have been told for years that the answer is to “always” get on a good probiotic and/or prebiotic3️⃣ They use maintenance doses to try to correct structural problems4️⃣ They are used to the “Band-Aid” approach of “fix it quick” as if structure issues get resolved in a 7-day window. Gut problems don’t happen overnight, and they don’t get addressed overnight5️⃣ Most people address gut issues like...

What should you do if you feel like the products aren't working - gut health, probiotics, prebiotics, cleanse
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
I have been in your shoes, years ago when I started my gut health journey I was tired, frustrated, and ready to be done. When I respond to messages I remember very clearly what that felt like and respond from that place. .“What do I do if the products aren’t working?”Occasionally, people ask why the product(s) isn’t working or suggest that they aren’t sure if they are doing something wrong because they aren’t seeing results yet. To be fair, we are fortunate to have mostly nice customers (thank you so much for that) so the requests are mostly super nice...

Remodeling the gut is like remodeling a home, it's a process - gut health, probiotics, prebiotics, sibo, diarrhea, constipation

Correcting serious stomach issues requires a full remodeling: ▪️ Starting in the right spot with the right products (not assuming probiotics are the end all be all for gut health)▪️ Loading heavy upfront▪️ Consistency.The goal is to clean up everything and rebuild it to get to a maintenance phase. Think about how much easier it is to manage a new clean home than a “fixer upper.” .My experience is that when people fail it is because they started in the wrong spot, they don’t go aggressive enough, and the strugglesalong the way require consistency and time (just like a full...

Silver Fern Brand has a different approach to addressing SIBO - bacteria overgrowth, probiotics, GERD, IBS, candida, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, food sensitivities

SIBO issues can linger, with no end in sight. And isn’t it interesting how frequently SIBO and other issues overlap?.At Silver Fern™ Brand, we approach SIBO a bit differently than everyone else..Why might all these issues be overlapping? Because the underlying problems are the same..In many cases with gut health, probiotics and prebiotics are not the place to start EVEN IF THEY HAVE CLINICAL DATA SAYING THEY WORK GREAT AT ADDRESSING THOSE SPECIFIC ISSUES. .For issues like bacteria overgrowth, bad heartburn and reflux, persistent diarrhea and constipation, etc. the first part of the process isn’t to start with probiotics..Why are...

Hair loss/thin hair can be a sign of malnutrition/digestive problems - gut health, nutrient absorption, probiotics, prebiotics
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
Hair loss or thin hair can absolutely be a sign of malnutrition/ digestive problems. This seems to be pretty much universally accepted with not a lot of contentious debate. .The next step? What to do with that information. Address any motility and/or digestive issues first. This includes constipation, diarrhea, heartburn/reflux, nausea, bloating, cramping, and any other symptom that comes from the belly either after eating or that develops throughout the day. .We have plans for each of those issues. Please start there! If the issues are allergies, skin irritations, a poor immune system, mood issues, and headaches/migraines but there are...

There are many issues associated with slow motility - constipation, bloating, gas, IBS, SIBO, GERD
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
So many issues are associated or linked with slow motility. It is because of this that we have most people start by addressing motility issues before jumping into probiotics or prebiotics. .Why?.When motility is slow, bacteria and yeast can’t be cleared out properly. Motility affects gut bacteria diversity and composition. It affects the very core issues of gut health..Many people have tried for years to address many of the listed issues without success. .I am personally aware of how frustrating it is. My question is, “Were motility issues ever addressed or resolved?” If not, we have a very effective plan...

I don’t want to take away from anyone’s reliance on diarrhea medications, but there is a better way that is more helpful for long-term gut health and whole-body health..At Silver Fern™ Brand, diarrhea is a fundamental motility issue that has to be addressed first before moving on to address other parts of gut health.

A true cleanse/detox should not cause diarrhea, but help calm it - gut health, cleanse, immunoglobulins, antibodies
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
A gut cleanse or detox should remove toxins. Where did the idea come from that a cleanse/detox product or system had to cause a laxative effect (aka a bowel flush)?.Isn’t the purpose of a cleanse/detox to remove toxins (literally). And shouldn’t a cleanse/detox make sense by actually removing real, specific toxins? .The body’s immune system removes toxins using immunoglobulins/ antibodies. The most common antibody is IgG. “IgG is always there to help prevent infections. It's also ready to multiply and attack when foreign substances get into the body. When you don't have enough, you are more likely to get infections.”(https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/igg-deficiencies#).Many people...

Correcting gut health can feel worse before it feels better. According to our science team, that’s the truth. .Short-term symptom solutions are probably a quick, feel-good method but correcting the underlying issues can be uncomfortable.There is a war going on in the gut. When the good side is losing, all sorts of health challenges occur (everything from digestive discomforts to skin irritations). .When a person dramatically starts correcting those issues, the bad side doesn’t suddenly surrender and go away peacefully.

Bone health goes way beyond loading up on calcium every day.

AN-PEP enzymes help properly breakdown gluten in the stomach-gut health, gluten free, gluten intolerance, celiac
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
Gluten is a protein. When this protein is not properly broken down completely in the stomach it can cause reactions in the intestines. Therefore, it would stand to reason the solution would be to break down this protein rapidly in the stomach before it gets to the intestines and in a way that doesn’t cause the gut to flare up. .With common gluten enzymes, gluten-sensitive T-cells still react to digested gluten. Flare-ups happen. The AN-PEP enzyme is able to digest the immunogenic parts of gluten so that flare-ups don’thappen..For people with gluten autoimmune responses, they experience problems when the gluten...

Saying goodbye to constipation for good-bloating, digestion, motility
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
There are many people dealing with chronic, uncomfortable, and problematic constipation. Most people have become reliant on some form of laxative for day-to-day bowel regularity. This has likely caused a reliance on laxatives. Or some people take magnesium at a high dose daily and if they stop taking it, they aren't regular. This is also a problem. .Why is motility a problem? When motility is slow, bad bacteria grow and bacteria overgrowth happens. This is bad. A fundamental part of gut health is good motility. .Constipation is a sign that gut fundamentals are messed up.

Breaking down the difference between true probiotics and common probiotics - gut health
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
What’s the difference in probiotics? This topic can be debated all over the place, but it is safe to say that not all types of probiotics are the same..Both types of probiotics may start alive and both types may administer benefits. But how they do so is abit different. (This is the position of our experts).Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium type strains (while still beneficial) won’t recondition the gut like true probiotics will because they are targeting specific benefits..For example, the B. longum 1714 strain in our Quiet Serenity product is targeted at biological stress and helping maintain normal cortisol levels. While...

When the immune system is irritated flare-ups occur. Flare-ups can manifest in everyone differently but for many they show up via the Gut-Skin Axis as skin problems that linger on and on. .Most skin care systems don’t typically work well because they don’t address the core issue causing the skin problems in the first place.

Most digestive issues cause bloating, but there's help - gut health, SIBO, bacteria overgrowth, probiotics, digestion, digestive enzymes, constipation
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
Bloating is the universal symptom for everything. Almost all digestive problems cause bloating. .Whether the bloating is mild or severe it comes from the same underlying issues: foods aren’t processing normally and thoroughly enough to keep gas production down. .And with motility issues (foods not processing at a normal speed), low stomach acid, and poor enzymeproduction usually comes bacteria imbalances. .With bacteria imbalances comes excessive gasproduction. This is why bacteria overgrowth causes such intense bloating.

That is still a bit of a mystery. .What does seem to be consistent is that when the gut is unhappy it is able to manifest that unhappiness in the form of a migraine..My suggestion? Try calming the gut to calm the headaches..As always, please start in the right spot with calming the gut. Starting in the wrong spot can agitate thegut and no one wants an agitated gut causing more severe migraines.

Scared of probiotics because of past experience? Still nervous to take probiotics?

This overgrowth is commonly full of bacteria from the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium families. .Introducing tens of billions of CFUs in a gut with overgrowth is going to hurt a lot.
