Gut Health: Your Second Brain
Did you know your gut does more than just digest food? Often called the "Second Brain," your gut is deeply connected to various aspects of your well-being, influencing your immune system, cognitive function, and hormonal balance. In fact, about 95% of serotonin—a crucial hormone affecting mood, digestion, sleep, bone health, and sexual function—is produced in the gut.
The Gut-Brain Connection
The constant communication between your gut and brain plays a significant role in your overall health. That's why a satisfying meal can boost your mood, while poor nutrition can leave you feeling irritable. When your gut health falters, it affects your entire body. At Dynamic Functional Medicine, we focus on nurturing your gut to enhance your overall well-being.
What Is a Leaky Gut?
"Leaky gut" occurs when the digestive tract lining becomes overly permeable due to toxins and bacteria buildup. This increased permeability allows food particles, chemicals, and other substances to enter the bloodstream, triggering a range of issues. These leaks can cause inflammation, bloating, allergic reactions, and various other symptoms. At Dynamic Functional Medicine, we focus on restoring gut health to prevent and manage these symptoms effectively.
