23. Top 5 Gut Myths & Misperceptions

What is gut health really? It’s multifaceted, and is supposed to come back to a state of equilibrium. Conventional medicine does not aim to heal these ailments but rather attack the problem. When you go to a practitioner who is only looking at blood tests, you’re not going to get to the root cause of your illness. Today, I talked with Dr. Seth Gerlach, fellow CHI coach about the top 5 gut myths and misperceptions. 

GI problems can show up anywhere in the body. The gut does much more than digest food, it helps control inflammation in the body, makes neurotransmitters, and sends chemical messengers out all over the body. If you’ve ever been on even antibiotics, chances are you have some sort of problem in the gut.

Dr. Gerlach sees many patients who visit his practice that come from gastroenterologists with completely clear tests such as blood work and colonoscopies. What this fails to mention is that traditional doctors are looking for major causes of concern such as cancer or ulcers. This is rarely accompanied with a stool test, which can actually show what’s happening in the gut from a microbial standpoint.

Many people have been misled in terms of their gut health, by listening to this, you can learn to take your health back.
