Why Gut Health Matters - Even If You Don't Have Digestive Issues

If you think gut health isn't your concern because you don't experience bloating, constipation, or indigestion - think again.

In today's modern world, nearly everyone has a compromised gut, even if they aren't aware of it. Gut health disorders show up in a lot more ways that tummy aches. Gut health is the epicenter of our overall health and wellbeing, kind of like how all roads lead to Rome.

Why is it that nearly everyone's gut is compromised, you ask? 

• We are disconnected from nature, no longer touching soil, and it's microbiome, every day.
• Stress is a natural and consistent aspect of our lives, along with isolation. 
• Common medications like NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, Tylenol) and Antibiotics can irreversibly destroy the microbiome. 
• Americans face a disproportionate toxin burden between chemicals, pesticides, and ultra processed foods which has been linked to leaky gut and an impaired liver or galbladder.
• A lot of us spend more time exposed to artificial light than sunlight (yes our cell phones count), this impacts our vitamin levels and ultimately how we function.

All of these factors put our gut health at a disadvantage compared to people in traditional societies - like the Kogi Tribe in Colombia or those living in Blue Zones, where longer, healthier lives are the norm. 

Why You Should Still Care—Even If You "Feel Fine"

You might not have obvious digestive issues…
But do you:

• Get sick often?
• Feel tired or irritable for no reason?
• Struggle with your skin, mood, sleep or hair?
• Have PMS, irregular periods or hormonal symptoms?

These could all be signs of poor gut health. You don’t need to feel bloated to have an inflamed gut. Many “mystery symptoms” can dramatically improve once the gut is supported with better food, stress management, and targeted supplements. But that doesn't just mean microbiome solutions, it also means leaky gut and hydration support. That's why we created our mineral-rich hydration powders with science backed leaky gut and microbiome support.
