Burlington Vermont Nutritional Counseling for Gut Health
There are about 40 trillion bacteria in your body, most of which are found in your gut- they are known as your gut microbiome, and they're incredibly important for overall health. Improving your microbiome and bacteria quality can transform your life and reduce many different symptoms you may be having. And as many people know who struggle with poor GI health, ica be life altering. This is why at the Stram Center, we utilize tastings that help us get to the root cause of a health condition, and we start with the status of your microbiome in our nutritional counseling (read more about our nutritional counseling services here)... The following three powerful components are the first step to beginning your gut health journey.
Probiotics: Imbalanced bacteria + less functional gut. Consumption through foods or supplementation can help increase the "good" gut bacteria and help balance our microbes to support gut health.
Prebiotics: Wen consuming probiotics, PREBIOTICS are the specialized fibers that feed the probiotics and allow them to thrive. Some prebiotics even soothe the gut lining and reduce inflammation.
Polyphenols: Not only does consumption reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, they also optimize our microbiome by keeping the gut lining strong.
