Saying your gut is important is understatement, {NAME}. More research comes out every day suggesting that what happens in your gut is so much more than digestion. Your gut is like a headquarters for your body.

Saying your gut is important is an understatement, {NAME}. More research comes out every day suggesting that what happens in your gut is so much more than digestion. Your gut is like a headquarters for your body.
Did you know that there is direct communication between your brain and your gastrointestinal tract? More recently, the gut has been coined as being the “second brain” because of the numerous serotonin receptors that exist in your gut.
Your brain, mood and entire wellbeing is affected by your gut health. And once you start caring for it, you’ll likely be able to feel the difference.
Recent research is showing that our guts have an impact, not just on our digestive health, but also our skin. And the gut might even have an impact on degenerative neurological diseases like Alzheimer's. Every day we're learning more about the gut-brain connection.
But the most overlooked reason that our digestive tracts are critical to our health is because 70–80 percent of your entire immune system is located in your digestive tract! That is an astounding percentage.
If you're paying attention, you probably already know how important caring for your gut is.
Our ancestors ate diets that were rich in nourishing, whole foods like greens and amino-acid packed bone broth — a gut superfood. But today, many of us are eating diets that are depleted of important micro-organsims and nutrients that our guts crave.
But there are things you can do to restore and repair your gut. It starts with your diet. You can start TODAY by beginning to identify foods you can eliminate and foods you can add into your diet for the best gut health possible.
Ready to dive in? These are some of my top articles on diet and gut health:

In conjunction with a healthy diet, start adding supplements to your daily routine. Your gut is THE THING that is really worth investing in when it comes to supplements.
There are also 3 supplements that I believe are imperative for anyone who is wanting to be intentional about tending to her gut:
- Probiotics, specifically containing soil-based organisms (SBOs)
- Digestive Enzymes
- L-Glutamine
[Gut Health Week](
The benefits of probiotics are one of the most widely researched natural solutions to gut health. For years, scientists and physicians have observed the many benefits of probiotics for not just the gut, but for the entire body.
10 benefits of probiotics:
- Digestive Health
- Decrease in Antibiotic Resistance
- May Improve Mental Illness
- Immunity Boost & Decrease in Inflammation
- Healthy Skin
- Food Allergy Protection
- May Treat Serious Diseases in Infants
- Lowering Blood Pressure
- Diabetes Treatment
- May Improve Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

I personally recommend a probiotic supplement with SBOs (soil-based organisms).
SBOs are unique because they’re designed to withstand the harsh outdoor environment, which means they can also withstand the harsh environment of the digestive tract.
If you're not taking a probiotic supplement that makes it to your gut, what is even the point?
[Why Enzymes?](
it matters if your body is ableThe primary reason to include digestive enzymes in your supplement routine with meals is that they help you absorb more nutrients from your food. There’s a growing incidence of illnesses that, when traced back to the source, appear to be linked to nutrient malabsorption due to a lack of digestive enzymes.
When you eat nutritious foods, it doesn't matter if your body is not able to absorb the important nutrients from them.
The top benefits of including digestive enzymes in your diet:
- Help heal leaky gut by taking stress off the GI tract.
- Assists the body in breaking down difficult-to-digest protein and sugars like gluten, casein and lactose.
- Greatly improve symptoms of acid reflux and IBS.
- Enhance nutrient absorption and prevent nutritional deficiency.
- Counteract enzyme inhibitors naturally in foods like peanuts, wheat germ, egg whites, nuts, seeds, beans and potatoes.

[Why L-Glutamine?](
L-glutamine is an amino acid that is a building block of protein and needed by your body in large amounts.
Science is now showing that L-glutamine benefits are abundant: It promotes digestive and brain health, boosts athletic performance, plus this amino acid is especially helpful in treating leaky gut and improving your overall health.
There's a reason L-glutamine is one of my top three most recommended supplements overall for treating leaky gut and/or building a lean body.
10 Proven L-Glutamine Benefits:
- Improves gastrointestinal health
- Helps leaky gut and ulcers
- Boosts brain health
- Improves IBS and diarrhea
- Promotes muscle growth and decreases muscle wasting
- Improves athletic performance and recovery from endurance exercise
- Burns fat and improves diabetes

Even if you're only able to start with one of the recommendations above, I believe you'll be doing your gut a big favor.
