Sugar cravings, digestive issues, fungal infections … these are all signs candida may be the culprit. Candida is naturally found in our gut, but when things get out of balance it can take over and cause problems. You can do a quick saliva candida test to see. Heal Your Gut, one of m...
Interest in thegut microbiomehas grown in recent years, and at the same time so has interest in the concept of gut dysbiosis. Broadly speaking, dysbiosis refers to an imbalance in the gut microbiome. Such an imbalance has the potential to increase the risk of a wide number of health problem...
Gut dysbiosis means there is an imbalance of microorganisms in the intestines. Dysbiosis is also known as intestinal or gastrointestinal dysbiosis. Gut microorganisms, collectively known asgut flora, consist predominantly of various strains of bacteria and, to a lesser extent, include fungi andprotozoa....
Following perturbations by antibiotics, diet, immune deficiency or infection, this ecosystem can shift to a state of dysbiosis. This can involve overgrowth (blooming) of otherwise under-represented or potentially harmful bacteria (for example, pathobionts). Here, we present evidence suggesting that ...

I was re-reading Super Gut and came to the line where Dr. Davis said, “Removing wheat and grains yields substantial improvements in GI health that aid in your efforts to reverse dysbiosis, SIBO, and SIFO and regain overall health.”
Dysbiosis is the state of gut flora when beneficial bacteria are outnumbered by harmful bacteria which may lead to a weakened immune system. Good bacteria are vulnerable to antibiotics and other medications, alcohol, heavy metals, overuse of antibacterial personal care products, household chemicals incl...
If your gut bacteria is out of balance, this can’t function properly. Inflammation is so, so important here. Your hormonal response is so important here. Your digestive system is so important. And of course we know these are all things we can use foods to heal, to balance to make ...
Vagus nerve stimulation is thought to help reduce inflammation in the gut12and may help manage issues like constipation. By supporting normal digestion and helping to eliminate waste, it may help prevent gut dysbiosis (an imbalance of gut microbes), support nutrient absorption, and promote an overa...
Altered gut flora, or dysbiosis, can also reduce or prevent the extraction of nutrients (such as B12) from food. Hypothyroidism itself can lead to poor extraction of minerals and vitamins from our food sources. Since thyroid hormones determine our metabolism throughout the entire body, including ...
