Our kids are now predicted to live shorter lifespans than us. In this episode, I reveal the hidden link behind the rise in allergies, eczema, ADHD, anxiety and more and how understanding gut health can change that trajectory.
This episode may feel quite confronting… but it gives you the answers to your “why’s” and therefore solutions.
Nearly 1 in 2 children in the U.S. has at least one chronic health condition. Allergies, eczema, asthma, ADHD, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts are skyrocketing. This isn’t genetics or bad luck. It’s a health crisis fuelled by treatments that focus on symptoms instead of addressing the root cause: inflammation in the gut.
In this episode of Heal Your Gut. Heal Your Life., I not only reveal the hidden gut connection behind these rising statistics, but I also break down what gut health really means. You’ll finally understand terms like gut microbiome, dysbiosis, and leaky gut in a way that makes sense and see how they directly connect to your child’s symptoms.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- What the gut microbiome is and why it’s central to your child’s health
- How gut dysbiosis and leaky gut drive inflammation, allergies, and mood issue
- Why the medical system’s “band-aid” solutions aren’t working
- The powerful truth most practitioners don’t mention: leaky gut can heal, balance can be restored, and symptoms can subside naturally
When you know better, you can do better. You’ll leave this episode with a clear understanding of gut health basics and the confidence to start making powerful changes at home that will support your gut microbiome. Because when your gut microbes thrive. You do too.
