Gut health is trendy and everyone who’s talking about it also has their juice cleanse or intermittent fasting program ready to offer you 😂 promise not us✌🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But how do you know if you already have good gut health? Or how do you know if you’re doing enough in your diet to keep your gut happy?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My number 1 - BE COOL WITH YOUR STOOL 💩😝 Thats right. Turn around and look at your poo friends. What’s going into the toilet is the best indicator of your gut health. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are you looking for?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nice smooth sausages. Not clumpy grapes 🍇 or squishy peanut butter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also colour: Brown is good. I’ve seen clients with white and black stools. That’s not ideal. Brown is ideal. 💩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sticking up the bathroom while you’re in there? Thats not good. Somethings up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also beware any mucus in your stool, abdominal pain or bloating that cycles with your bowel movements. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Get used to being consciously aware of how your gut is operating and what might be signs that your gut is working at a suboptimal or less than ideal rate. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some other signs of poor gut health could include ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Low energy ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Dark circles under the eyes ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Interrupted or restless sleep ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•You often pick up colds and flus ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•You get headaches regularly⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•You recently finished a dose of antibiotics ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

All of these symptoms call for intervention and gut health support. Not sure if you need support 💩 DM us today! x
