Dealing with digestive issues or just feel a little “off” now and then? Take some time to talk about gut health solutions.
Can we chat?
It’s about digestive health, something we don’t discuss enough. Venturing into discussions about the gut microbiome can feel like “oversharing” but since 20 million Canadians have digestive issues, is it really TMI? Bloating, constipation, healthy bowel movements, post-antibiotic yeast infections…. It’s hardly the stuff of your average dinnertime conversation, we get it. You don’t have to suffer from diseases like Crohn’s, colitis, or IBS to benefit from the knowledge and resources available to help your digestive health and gut biome, so let’s talk about it.
Seed your gut, feed your gut
Did you know “gut” refers to the large and small intestines, not your stomach? The gut microbiome is full of flora and good bacteria that work hard to keep your body in tip-top shape. And not just in terms of digestion and excretion of waste. Those little microbes are part of the gut-brain connection, influencing and reflecting mood and mental wellbeing. Genuine Health is a leading producer of top-quality gut health products. Their probiotics and greens+ superfood supplements work together by seeding the gut with microbes, then feeding them with the nutrients you need for optimal health.
Gentle Care Probiotic
New to probiotics? The best way to help your body adapt to the introduction of supportive live bacteria is by starting slow. While Genuine Health also offers extra-strength and high-potency shelf-stable probiotics, some people do better with a gentle start. People with sensitive tummies who have tried probiotics before may find this vegan, soy- and gluten-free version, with 15 strains of live bacteria —15 billion of them — helps support intestinal and gastrointestinal health and may promote a favorable gut flora.
Women’s Daily Probiotic
Women are made uniquely and your probiotic should be too! The Women’s Daily Probiotic is vegan, non-GMO, soy- and gluten-free and stays effective without refrigeration. Each plastic-free delayed released capsule is packed with 50 billion live bacteria in 15 strains to promote diversity. Sometimes it takes another woman to understand women’s needs and to design the right probiotic solution. Made for women, formulated by women.
greens+ Original
Stocking each plate you eat with a colourful variety of plant-based phytonutrients is ideal, but even then getting all the vitamins your body requires to thrive can be a tall order.
