Posted by Tiffany Cox on
Wondering how the gut causes weight/fat gain? This cycle feeds on itself AND when it keeps being reinforced a person can’t exercise and diet themselves into weight/fat loss. Let's talk stress and high cortisol. They also cause bacteria imbalances. But since gut bacteria manage stress responses, leaky gut and inflammation can make stress reactions worse by driving up cortisol levels even more. Stress/high cortisol levels and dysbiosis feed off of each other in a vicious cycle. There are genetically skinny people that can make skinny and gut problems co-exist. Lucky people. I'm jealous. There are very driven people whose lives...

Experiencing bad bloating and gas from FODMAP foods? - gut health, digestive enzymes
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
Are FODMAP enzymes a great short-term band aid to help with your immediate need for less bloating and gas? Yes, they are. Are FODMAP enzymes a long-term solution? No. The long-term solution is for you to break down FODMAP foods without the need for added enzymes. That’s what a good gut protocol should provide you.Bloat & Gas Relief is a great way to help reduce FODMAP related bloating and gas issues. *Questions?

What makes Ultimate Probiotic different? - gut health, probiotics
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
What makes Ultimate Probiotic different? It addresses the key to gut health: microbial diversity. Does loading up on billions of CFUs of key lactobacillus and bifidobacterium strains hit the mark for your gut health needs? No. Loading up on certain lactobacillus and bifidobacterium strains can definitely be good. No question. Science agrees with that. So, I am not saying these are not beneficial probiotics. But for someone looking to go directly to the underlying needs of the gut, large and impressive reseeding probiotics may not be the best answer. I get asked almost daily, "How do your probiotics compare to...

How do I know if I have SIBO? - gut health, probiotics, SIBO
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
If you have frequent or chronic bloating mixed with either constipation, diarrhea, or constipation and diarrhea coupled with more bloating from healthy foods and fibers it's easy to assume you have some form of SIBO. When a person says that probiotics kill their stomach, that's also a good indicator they have some form of SIBO. Frequently, people will take antibiotics to help with their SIBO. Sounds like a simple solution, EXCEPT much of the time the SIBO will come right back. SIBO is a dysmotility problem. What part of antibiotics helps with motility issues? When building gut health protocols, I...

A natural and effective alternative to laxatives? Yes, please - gut health, constipation, bloating
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
The common and short-term answer is laxatives. Let's face it. Laxatives and forced bowel regularity is great for short-term constipation relief. That's what they do. But what do you do once you want to get beyond short-term solutions? I've heard the answer is a lifetime of MiraLAX. Ouch. That sounds interesting. What about natural long-term help with constipation? (Magnesium citrate/oxide/carbonate/malate, senna, cascara, aloe vera, etc. are all laxatives.) Natural yes, but still forced bowel regularity.If you want a more natural and correct way of helping with long-term regularity, please consider the Constipation Plus Kit. If you have long standing laxatives...

Non-acid blocker relief for heartburn/reflux issues? Yes, please - gut health, indigestion

The acid reflux/heartburn dilemma: Acid reflux/heartburn’s causes are not quickly resolved so the natural solution is to use acid blockers. They are quick, fast, and effective (for most people). Obviously, they come with long-term risks and other problems. But helping people feel good without acid blockers and allowing them time to correct issues that take time has been the problem.

The gut can definitely have an effect on weight and metabolism - gut health, weight loss
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
Yes, you can count calories burned and calories consumed. That does work for some. But what if it isn't working for you? Or what if there is a better way? The gut literally sends signals on what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat. Most people don't know that the gut sets the metabolism, determines fat loss, and determines fat accumulation. It is also possible for you to deliberately and intentionally target bacteria and gut compounds shown to change the metabolism, reduce how much you feel like you need to eat, and change what foods you desire....

Laxatives will worsen long-term constipation - gut health, laxatives, digestion

How is an imbalance in the gut going to be cleaned up when your system is slow and clogged up? It isn’t. It is normal to immediately think of probiotics when you hear the words “imbalance” and “gut” together. But how are probiotics going to drive out all the bad stuff when your gut is clogged? You can force out a clogged system, but the issues come back when your system slows down again. There are a lot of probiotic strains that help with constipation. They are a great long-term help with addressing motility issues. If you have an imbalance...

Why does gut health matter? - gut health, probiotics
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
“Does gut health affect _______________ (fill in the blank)?”The answer is “YES.” Gut health helps determine whole body health. Why should you care about it? Because it dramatically affects overall health. “Do you think poor gut health is what is making it so I can’t lose weight?” Since the metabolism is controlled by short-chain fatty acids in the gut, I’m going to say, “For sure.” Years ago, Tiffany and I were really interested in adding more sports supplements to Silver Fern™ Brand. We were very focused on that. But we kept encountering the same problem. When the gut isn’t healthy...

Basic tips when starting to correct gut health - probiotics, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, reflux

What's the difference between all the different probiotics on the market? A LOT - gut health, supplements
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
There is a colossal difference between common reseeding probiotic strains (Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium) and gut managerial strains (B. coagulans, B. subtilis, B. claussi, P. acidilactici, and S. boulardii). Yes, they are technically both probiotics (just like a riding lawnmower and a jet are both modes of transportation), but how they function and what they do is pretty dramatically different. To be blunt, there is a HUGE difference between reseeding probiotics found in yogurt and $20 probiotics found at the store and the heavily researched reseeding strains shown to survive digestion sold by reputable brands. And to go next level from...

Why do you need a great prebiotic? In prebiotics there are good, better, and best options. Obviously, best is better than good. You can do something great with the gut or do something good for the gut.A "best" type of prebiotic is able to target delicate bacteria species that are either not available in probiotics or are too delicate to be successfully used in a probiotic because they are not able to survive digestion. A truly healthy gut has microbial diversity (not hundreds of billions of select bacteria). “Decreased diversity, considered an indicator of an unhealthy microbiome, has been linked...

Constant constipation? Laxatives aren't the answer to really helping what's going on - gut health, bloating, gas

Have you ever wondered “WHY” you are constantly struggling with constipation? You know you really need to address the issue, but what you have been doing isn't really resolving it, it's just making the next few days tolerable. But you've been told to just keep taking something like Miralax. But doing that for the rest of your life seems ...off.Most likely, you once had bad stress, antibiotics, medications (PPIs and such), surgery, an infection, a sickness, food poisoning or something similar that caused your dysbiosis.

If probiotics aren't the right place to start, where is? - gut health, probiotics, constipation

Not all roads to gut health start with probiotics. In fact, for us very few do. (It definitely ends with probiotics though.) I’d say about 75% of people I build a protocol for have some form of slow motility and they have never had success in the past with various gut health programs. Believe it or not, even people with both constipation and diarrhea issues need to start with slow motility because slow motility can cause rapid motility (if you are puzzled by this comment please ask). Yes, dysbiosis (imbalances in the microbiome) is the underlying issue triggering everything else....

A non-laxative, natural, fast and effective approach to constipation - gut health, digestion, bloating
Posted by Tiffany Cox on
Here’s the constipation dilemma: fast motility relief and non-laxative do not usually go together. When a person has constipation, they are usually advised to jump straight to laxatives because it isn’t like anyone with constipation wants to hold it all in for 3 to 6 months while they address the underlying issues. The problem is that once someone becomes reliant upon laxatives for regularity then what? They can’t just stop them. Can they? In the past, I would high dose people on our Upper GI Relief product for 3 months to help them get regularity. And I would ask them...

Does taking the right probiotic matter? Absolutely. There is massive noise about probiotics suggesting that all probiotics are the same. If this were the case, the $12 probiotic at the grocery store would be fantastic. The truth is that not only can the strains in a probiotic be totally different (which should indicate a big difference just there), but how the strains function and what they do can be totally different. Therefore, probiotic supplements are not the same. Most people assume more (CFUs) is better, right? Wrong! “CFU amounts are usually in the billions, but the NIH cautions that just...

Of course, you can. I’m not sure if you have all the signs of leaky gut if you need to test for it, but if you want check for it look for elevated LPS in the blood. Leaky gut is metabolic endotoxemia (toxin overload), which is elevated LPS levels in the blood. Increased serum endotoxin concentration is followed by elevated inflammation that is marked by measurable increases in interleukin-6, interleukin-1-alpha, interferon-gamma, triglycerides, and post-prandial insulin. If these markers are elevated, you likely have leaky gut.
