Naturopaths have always been taught to view the gut as the centre of our health. Scientists are now saying that microbes living in the gut are responsible for manipulating our eating behaviour. These microbes can manipulate behaviour and mood through altering the nerve signals, changing taste receptors, producing toxins to make us feel bad and releasing chemicals that make us feel good.
So if you are having difficulty in having self-control of your eating habits eg having cravings and unhealthy eating behaviours, it may help to support healthy nerve signals from the gut through the use of prebiotics, probiotics and dietary changes.
A “Gut Detox” at Avedissian Natural Health incorporates all of this and can help to reduce the unhealthy bacteria and increase the healthy bacteria.
