A major target of
such poor development is the
gut and thus any abnormality in
gut nerve development (the
gut contains more neurones than the spinal cord) would have a significant effect not only on
gut functions and probably
gut microbiome, but also on information flowing back to the brain that may cause interference in normal brain
functions, perhaps precipitating ASD - like behaviour in a developmentally challenged brain.
In the lead profile, Jansson represented those researchers investigating
such diseases by using omics technologies - uncovering the DNA sequences, expressed genes, and metabolite signatures used to reveal links to microbial
functions in the
gut.
They discovered that giving the mice antibiotics produced very different effects on their
gut microbiomes, as well as on their insulin sensitivity, tissue inflammation and related metabolic
functions such as blood glucose, depending on the genetic background of the mouse.
According to Dr. William Cole, an mbg class instructor and functional medicine expert, bone broth is the perfect
gut - healing remedy: «Rich in collagen and a wide array of other nutrients, organic chicken or beef bone broth is a great tool to rebuild
gut function from problems
such as leaky
gut syndrome, SIBO, and candida overgrowth.»
If the
gut's not
functioning properly, it can manifest in an array of digestive issues,
such as bloating, cramping and mental fog.
The
function of these good bacteria helps all of the following: the immune system; proper digestion and absorption; food allergy / sensitivity reduction; production of certain vitamins and nutrients -
such as vitamin K, choline, fatty acids, and more; and prevention of bad bacteria / pathogens from overpopulating the
gut.
However, a busy schedule and the excessive consumption of fast food and precooked products can negatively affect the proper
function of your
gut, causing a number of problems,
such as unhealthy weight gain, high cholesterol, and chronic constipation.
Anything floating in blood stream will be removed with this diet as excess glucose from carbs is the cause of this and grains is the cause of lining
gut damage which also allows bacteria and
such to enter the blood stream this diet actually reverses nearly every problem like this also high fat helps body better absorb your vitamin and minerals resulting in more antioxidants and better
functioning organs that have a key role in keeping arteries and
such clean
He really explains how the
gut is linked to so many
functions and behaviours in the body and how poor
gut health can be the cause of many things,
such as asthma, migraines, eczema and more.
The delicate balance between the human microbiome and the development of psychopathologies is particularly interesting given the ease with which the microbiome can be altered by external factors,
such as diet, 23 exposure to antimicrobials24, 25 or disrupted sleep patterns.26 For example, a link between antibiotic exposure and altered brain
function is well evidenced by the psychiatric side - effects of antibiotics, which range from anxiety and panic to major depression, psychosis and delirium.1 A recent large population study reported that treatment with a single antibiotic course was associated with an increased risk for depression and anxiety, rising with multiple exposures.27 Bercik et al. 28 showed that oral administration of non-absorbable antimicrobials transiently altered the composition of the
gut microbiota in adult mice and increased exploratory behaviour and hippocampal expression of brain - derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), while intraperitoneal administration had no effect on behaviour.
Caprylic acid is an eight - carbon saturated fatty acid which helps fight infection
such as fungi and yeast, aids in the optimal
function of the digestive system, reduces inflammation in internal organs (especially the intestines and
gut).
Many
gut and digestive issues have a deficiency characteristic
such as low stomach acid (80 % of Americans), low pancreatic enzymes, low bile and / or low liver
function.
Stressors
such as
gut infections, food intolerances, blood sugar imbalances, and hormonal imbalances can depress the pituitary gland, which controls hormone
function in the body.
The metabolic activities performed by these bacteria resemble those of an organ, and these microorganisms perform a host of useful
functions,
such as training the immune system, attacking foreign invaders (like food poisoning compounds, toxins, etc.), preventing growth of harmful, pathogenic bacteria in your
gut, regulating the development of the intestinal lining, producing vitamins
such as biotin and vitamin K, and even producing hormones (10).
Harboring a chronic infection in the
gut disrupts immune
function in
such a way that it can predispose us to auto - immune conditions.
Taken over time, they will lessen symptoms of poor digestive
function such as gas and bloating, constipation, loose stools and food allergies; 2,11 enhance vitamin and mineral absorption; 4 promote balanced blood sugar levels; 3,4 protect the liver and strengthen eliminatory
function; 3,11 heal inflammatory damage to the
gut wall; 3,11 and reduce the incidence of allergic disorders.2, 14 In short, the daily use of bitters can address some of the most rampant and heavily medicated health conditions of our time.4
Hormones influence
gut function in other ways as well
such as affecting the microbiome of the
gut, the bacterial system in our intestines.
Dr. Jockers is also a sought - after speaker around the country on
such topics as ketosis, weight loss, brain health, healing leaky
gut, thyroid
function, natural detoxification and disease prevention.
Independent research conducted by Novometrix Inc. has verified that the Intestinal Integrity (I2) Index used to measure
gut health and
function in broilers, correlates closely with live performance outcomes
such as daily weight gain and feed efficiency in broiler flocks around the globe.
In the meantime, if you'd like to learn more, you might start with a couple of general interest pieces
