A leaky gut creates inflammation which reduces insulin sensitivity and is associated with metabolic disease.
By strengthening the gut barrier and reducing inflammation, butyrate promote healthy blood sugar levels and support metabolic health.
Metabolic dysfunction has also been correlated with dysbiosis. A gut in dysbiosis will have fewer butyrate-producing microbes, which can reduce insulin sensitivity.
On the other hand, a healthy gut promotes the secretion of gut-derived metabolic hormones, including glucagons. This hormone increases insulin levels when there’s glucose in the blood, helping to get glucose into your cells to improve blood sugar levels. It also promotes feelings of fullness.
Improving Gut Health to Improve Glucose
Now that you’ve learned just how important the GI tract is in improving health and glucose levels, you may be eager to improve your gut health.
The first step is to take an individualized approach. There are general food choices and lifestyle habits to improve your gut health.
But there are some nuances.
Lifestyle choices that support a healthy gut include getting enough good quality sleep, managing stress, and engaging in appropriate exercise.
Exercise can lead to a 50 percent reduction in intestinal blood flow, a stressor on the gut that can potentially lead to a leaky gut.
The dietary choices you make can also affect your gut, but there’s no one-size-fits-all for a healthy diet.
You may be avoiding a high-fat diet, considering intermittent fasting, practicing meal sequencing, or focusing on whole grains—it will all depend on your body’s individual needs.
It’s best to work with a Health Coach to find out what works best for you. But here are a few general dietary choices to keep in mind that can help your gut thrive.
As a general rule, you’ll want to focus on a variety of nutrient dense foods (in whole food form) and ensure you’re getting enough vitamins and minerals for you (again, working with a Functional Health Coach) can help in this regards.

Liver and gall bladder flush…. Liver Gallbladder Detox has many possible benefits. Cleansing your liver bile ducts may be one of the most rewarding cleanse that you can do to improve your over all health. The liver is your “internal pharmacy”, it detoxifies your body and creates the “drugs” (vitamins, hormones, lipids, glucose, bilirubin and more) your body needs. But only if you maintain a healthy liver. The Liver and Gallbladder Cleanse is also essential for maintaining a powerful digestion – which is also central to your health.

Vitamin D, commonly referred to as the “sunshine vitamin,” can be naturally produced by our bodies when our skin is exposed to sunlight. This particular form, known as vitamin D3, differs from the vitamin D found in some plants, animals, and fungi. Despite the seemingly simple process of obtaining this essential nutrient, medical experts believe that approximately one billion people worldwide suffer from a vitamin D3 deficiency. This can occur if an individual does not spend enough time outdoors, frequently uses sunblock, has higher levels of melanin in their skin, follows a vegan diet or has a milk allergy, or suffers from an underlying condition that impairs nutrient absorption. A range of symptoms may signal a potential vitamin D3 deficiency, making it crucial to recognize and address this issue for optimal health.

Why I don’t eat Peanuts.
Peanuts are legumes and grow underground. That been said, once harvested they are usually stored in silos before processing and distributing.
Any humidity causes aflatoxin, which is a mold known to be carcinogenic to humans even in moderate concentration.
No surprise that in many individuals peanuts cause an allergic reaction. The Phytic acid present in peanuts prevents the absorption of fundamental minerals like Iron, Magnesium. Zinc and Calcium.
The consumption of peanuts is known to cause autoimmune diseases due to it high lecithin content thus gut permeability.
Furthermore the high oxolate content in these legumes causes kidney stones.

Breaking your fast is what breakfast means.
The most important meal of the day ideally should be eaten at least 16 hours from your evening meal.
The reason for this is that our bodies need time to reset, heal, renew, restore and more.
Understanding how the body works is fundamental to well being. That is the purpose of a Functional and Integrative Health Coach.
