Poor gut health is closely linked to the onset and progression of various autoimmune disorders. The mechanisms include gut dysbiosis, increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut), chronic inflammation, immune system modulation, and molecular mimicry

When the gut lining becomes permeable, it allows bad bacteria and toxins to pass into the bloodstream. The immune system reacts to this, gets dysregulated and overactive, leading to a misdirected chronic immune response, aka an 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘰𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦

Depending on your genetic predisposition and epigenetic environment, one can manifest a variety of symptoms and disease. These can range from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) to rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, or psoriasis

These connections underscore the importance of maintaining a healthy gut microbiome & modifying the gut bacteria through diet, lifestyle, and potentially probiotics and prebiotics to prevent or mitigate autoimmune conditions

The functional medicine approach to treating any of these diseases would be to address their root causes, eliminate them and detox. After onset, of course, one needs to manage symptoms with conventional medicine, but they won’t help provide a long-term solution

Gut issues? Gut in touch :)

It’s hard to describe the connection I've developed with this cat and this (CrossFit) box over the last 7 odd years

It's given me perfect sense of belonging, an absolutely amaze tribe, and a place where I've genuinely made some serious gainz..

I'd gotten so familiar and comfortable with this place that leaving it seems like a bad break up and has made me mentally soft..

I suppose that’s a sign it's time to get out of my comfort zone

💙 Love means nothing to a tennis player 🎾

⁉️ I often get asked, what's the best exercise for weight loss and longevity?

😅 And my answer is always the same - whatever brings you happiness and contentment, whatever you can be consistent with over time

🏋🏻‍♀️ This could be tennis, crossfit, basketball, lifting, hiking, running, cycling - whatever keeps your joints in action and body moving

💪🏼 The point is to better your metabolic health, strength, mobility, flexibility, vO2max, and mitochondrial health

💯 Motivation gets you started, but discipline keeps you going. Without the joy factor, it's just not going to be sustainable long-term

⌛ Transformation takes time

🧠 The hard part isn't getting your body in shape, it's getting your mind in shape

⚡ Adrenal fatigue is not a necessarily a result of overworked adrenal glands. Its primarily a brain issue which causes the over or under production of hormones, resulting in their imbalance

🧠 The hypothalamus of the brain is primarily controlling the release of the “stress hormones” cortisol, adrenaline, and noradrenaline. In short-term acute stress, these hormones are released, and retreat quickly – helping with nervous health resilience. In the case of long-term stress, is where the problem lies and symptoms manifest

🔥 An overactivate HPA axis chronically over produces cortisol and adrenaline, keeping you in a constant sympathetic state of fight or flight, and not letting the nervous system switch over to the parasympathetic state or rest and digest

😔 This can lead to Adrenal Fatigue symptoms:

Chronic fatigue, weakness, lack of motivation or drive, weight gain, body pain, bad sleep, depression and anxiety, brain fog, insulin resistance and diabetes

🫠 These are caused by:

Chronic inflammation, leptin resistance, neurotransmitter, and hormonal imbalances

⚖️ Support brain and adrenal health via:

Stimulating BDNF production through exercise, fasting, consuming nutrient-dense foods
