Gut Health 101
If you follow any health-related account on social media, you’ve probably seen people talking a lot about their guts recently. The truth is that, as doctors, the gut microbiome is something that’s always on our radar. Our digestive system is actually one of the most important parts of our bodies, dictating everything from our mood to how likely we are to get sick. The gut is actually kind of a body MVP and it’s only because of more recent studies and new research that it’s finally getting the attention that it deserves.
So let’s take a deep dive into our digestive health with some awesome experts who can help us dissect the most common symptoms of gut dysregulation and talk about some simple lifestyle changes to keep your microbiome healthy and help you feel great.
On the show today are Dr. Megan Lester and Dr. Jaylin Holland from our practice Collaborative Natural Health Partners here in Connecticut. Dr. Lester is a Naturopathic Physician who received her degree from the National University of Health Sciences in Illinois and she has a particular interest in treating autoimmune and digestive conditions, including IBS and SIBO. Dr. Holland received her degree from the University of Bridgeport School of Naturopathic Medicine in Connecticut and she is passionate about using patient data-driven interventions based on genomics and microbiome combined with timeless, traditional naturopathic wisdom.
