𝐋𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐝y'𝐬 #𝟏 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲.⁣ 👏🏻👏🏻Because digestion is the foundation for all other aspects of health!

But if you have symptoms of gas, bloating, constipation and heartburn, your digestive function is off...
-
What causes this:
• 𝐏𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐭: think processed foods and inflammatory oils (canola, rapeseed, corn oil, soybean oil, grapeseed oil).
• 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐬: food sensitivities, exposure to chemicals, birth control heavy metals, antibiotics, medications - these all disrupt your gut's microbiome.⁣
• 𝗪𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Lack of proper stomach acid, poor bile secretion, and pancreatic enzymes. All of these are necessary to support proper digestion.
-
Lack of these can lead to susceptibility to --> leaky gut, dysbiosis, and the ability for parasites and other pathogens to set up house within your GI tract.

What is plant-based? 🥕🥒🥬
-
While there is no universally recognized definition for a “plant-based” diet, it generally means that most foods are derived from plants, including vegetables, fruit, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes.
-
A plant-based diet is not the same as a vegetarian or vegan diet.⁣
-
All plant-based foods contain carbohydrates. Some also contain protein or healthy fat, but all contain carbohydrates. It is important for blood sugar control to make sure meals and snacks are balanced with all three - carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fat.
•
•
Ideas to add protein from plant-based sources:⁣
✅Soy products like organic tofu, tempeh, or edamame (stay tuned for more on this)⁣
✅Beans⁣
✅Lentils⁣
✅Pumpkin seeds⁣
✅Hemp seeds⁣
✅Quinoa⁣
✅Peas or pea protein powder⁣
✅Spirulina⁣
✅Nutritional yeast⁣
-
You can also make meals more balanced by incorporating healthy fat from any nuts or nut butter, which also contain some protein. 🙌🏼 ...

"Some people buy themselves coffee. I buy myself #ozone therapy!" - Austin MD Health Patient.
•
Have you heard of Ozone Therapy? Ozone gas, discovered in the 1800s, consists of 3 oxygen molecules bound together. The oxygen molecule released into your blood or tissues ultimately leads to improved oxygenation, which improves metabolism, circulation, immune function, and overall cellular health.

So take a tip from our patient we quoted here, and invest in yourself this year and always! Or, as the kids say, “Treat yourself!” ...

Many people ask us about medical-grade supplements vs. over-the-counter (OTC) supplements that can be purchased at outside stores or online. “𝘐𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘖𝘛𝘊 𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪-𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘵 𝘢 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦?” In a word- no.
•
One reason is that the government does not regulate over-the-counter vitamins. So if you think your supplements are gluten-free... they are probably not.
•
Medical-grade supplements are manufactured to the same standards as pharmaceutical drugs, unlike over the counter ones. They are the highest quality supplements available and meet all pharmaceutical standards.
•
In summary - in order to carry the supplements that we do at our clinic, we have to show an active, current medical license. Can your health food store say that? ...

Staying active, even in small doses, can increase your microbial diversity, but it really depends on what type of exercise and the intensity.
•
Importantly, exercise increases the amount of short-chain fatty acids produced by bacteria (fuel for your gut) and types of bacteria correlated to lean muscle mass – we will take some of that, please!

So friends; GET UP. Take a break. & breath! ...
