Building a Healthier GI Tract with Enhanced Nutrition

By Dr. Chris D. Meletis, ND, Executive Director of the Institute for Healthy Aging

Your gastrointestinal health is the foundation from which the rest of your wellness springs. In fact, there is a catch-22 that occurs when it comes to your GI health. If you have less than perfect GI health, you will often not absorb the very nutrients that you need to bring your GI tract up to full nourishing capacity. Without peak absorption of nutrients from your diet and supplements, you will not enjoy the full level of vibrant health that is achievable and that you deserve. Whether you have slow bowels (constipation), rapid bowels (diarrhea), irritable bowels, Celiac, Crohn’s Disease, Colitis, GI infection or imbalance of your friendly probiotics, you are at great jeopardy for diminished health. Furthermore, the capacity of your pancreas to make adequate enzymes and your stomach to produce adequate gastric acid will determine if you can liberate the life-sustaining nutrients essential for the optimal survival of the 50 to 100 trillion cells that comprise your body and very essence. Learn what the research says about these conditions and your nutritional status.
