03. Supplements-Digestion

When addressing digestion from a multi-dimensional perspective, nutritional integration is absolutely paramount. When we consider digestion, we often think primarily of the stomach and intestines. However, the organ that is oven most overlooked with regards to the digestive process is your liver. Your liver is your primary detoxification organ, regulates carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, makes bile for fat digestion and also helps in the production of stomach acid. Thus, liver restoration is critical.

Digestive issues such as abdominal discomfort, reflux, indigestion, gas, bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation are primarily caused by a build-up of undigested rancid fats and putrefied proteins along the intestinal lining due to inadequate hydrochloric acid production in the stomach likely due to a stagnant and stressed liver. Viruses and bacteria (typically strep) can be feeding off the undigested rot along the intestinal lining causing further bloat, pain or dysfunction. A major key to healing this phenomenon is to eliminate foods that are creating the build-up and feeding the pathogens.

It is highly recommended for you to consider the Liver Detox Protocol and/or Digestion Protocol to really get the root of your digestive issues.

 

  • It can be extremely confusing and overwhelming to be a supplement consumer. There are so many products out there of which many have undesirable additives and may not contain adequate dosages to actually be therapeutic. Please refer to the Problematic Supplement Self-Reflection to take a good analysis of your current supplements.
  • It is not uncommon to be on 10-20 different supplements at a time, even to just maintain optimal health let alone facilitate healing and detox. Your amount may vary depending on your individual needs and circumstances.
  • If you are sensitive or have a lot of symptoms and health issues, it is suggested that you introduce 1 supplement at a time at a low dose and gradually increase as tolerated. Wait ~3-5 days before adding another supplement.
  • Supplements facilitate detoxification. Thus it is very important that you are properly hydrated to be able to appropriately eliminate toxins through your bowel and bladder. Otherwise they will stay in your system perpetuating dis-ease.
  • Refer here for important safety, healing and detox information.

 

 It is recommended to start out with 1 supplement at a time for 3-5 days and at a pace that works for you, add other supplements as needed.
