Gut Health: The Essence of All Disease

Written By Dr. Jacqueline Fields

There was a recent article published from Harvard medical school stating ALL disease begins in the gut.

Functional medicine has been an advocate of this data since the beginning.

It is clear the gut is the home to 60-70% of our immunity.

So let’s focus on learning and healing the Gut.

The human body is a healing machine. It is designed that way. But with today’s ever-increasing level of toxicity and stress, your gut is constantly under attack.

Dr. Fields sums this up nicely:

  • You Have 500 Species And Three Pounds Of Bacteria In Your Gut, And They Are A Diverse And Interdependent Ecosystem. They Must Be In Balance For You To Be Healthy.

     

  • Too Many Of The Wrong Ones (Like Parasites, Yeasts Or Bad Bacteria) Or Not Enough Of The Good Ones (Like Lactobacillus Or Bifidobacterium), Can Lead To Serious Damage To Your Health.

     

  • Your GI System Is Home To Trillions Of Bacteria – And Millions Of Microorganisms (Bacteria, Yeast, Viruses, Parasites, Etc.) Living Within Your Body. These “Critters” Are Essential To The Most Basic Biological Mechanisms Required For Human Life Such As Digestion, Energy Production, And Detoxification.

  • When You Have Leaky Gut, Or Gut Dysbiosis, That Means There Is An Upset To The Natural Balance Of Microorganisms In Your Gut. AND THAT Has A Domino Effect On Your Health That Is Staggering.

  • These Bacteria Help Inform Your Immune System Of What’s Happening In The Gut And Help Fight Off Infections And Keep The Peace.

With 70% Percent Of Your Immunity Living In Your Gut, Your Gut Is Your 1st Line Of Defense And Response Zone.

 It’s VITAL to get your gut in shape, before any pathogen or virus hits you or your family.


At this unprecedented time in the world, there are truly powerful things you can do.


There is a one-cell thick layer of gut lining that protects your body from toxins, bacteria, undigested food particles and things we have to google, like lipopolysaccharides … and of course… viruses.

  • Scientists have actually nicknamed the gut your “second brain” because this complex system has the power to change your mood and is a central mainframe for your immune system.

  • The balance of those chemicals determine much of the balance in your body as well. Just like an ecosystem that’s out of balance that will eventually go wrong, an unbalanced body can go wrong as well.

  • Your digestive system affects everything from your immune response, stress levels, sleep patterns, skin clarity, energy reserves… and the list goes on.
