If you have “gut” issues, it can be very hard to lose weight unless you address them as well!
Gut issues can include bloating, constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, heartburn, pain in your stomach, etc.
Also, your immune system lives in your digestive tract, so if you are struggling with these issues, this is not the time to push your body and put it under stress.
The other area that is closely tied to the gut is your metabolism.
– If you have inflammation in your gut, it will slow down your metabolism
– Even if you are eating “clean”, your gut issues will prevent proper breakdown, processing and absorption of nutrients. This, in turn, slows down your metabolism
When it comes to weight loss, it can be very difficult to lose any weight if your metabolism and immune system are compromised because of gut issues.
That is why gut health/digestion is a huge part of the 12 week program that I run! Because digestion is so important, I spend time working with you individually on a protocol and supplement routine to start resolving gut health issues.
I just opened up the waitlist for the next 12 week challenge, so check it out here: www.drbethwestie.com/waitlist
