Upcoming 14 Day Gut Health Challenge

Dr. Michelle McKee and Dr. Alison Parsons have created this 14 day gut health challenge for a few main reasons:

‍

1. The microbiome is critical for overall healthand nutrition.

2. The most important dietary strategies to maintaina healthy gut microbiome are lacking. Ex. 95% of North Americans are notconsuming enough fiber and this is the #1 way to support the growth of the beneficialbacteria species in our gut.

3. To simplify multiple concepts and strategies by providinga how-to guide that is NOT a fad diet, but can be carried forward after thechallenge.

4. Inflammation is at the root of most conditions andone effective way to lower inflammation is to improve gut health since 70% ofimmune system is located in the gut. Having a dysbiotic or ‘bad’ growth ofbacteria causes the immune system to be pro-inflammatory. This can affect ourenergy, our weight, our hormones – essentially every system in the body.
