Feeling Off? Your Gut Might Be the Missing Puzzle Piece
Do you ever feel bloated, sluggish, or like your skin is constantly breaking out no matter what you try? If you’ve been chasing solutions with little success, the real culprit might be hiding in plain sight—your gut health.
The Gut-Health Connection: More Than Just Digestion
Your gut does way more than break down food. It’s home to trillions of bacteria that influence everything from digestion to skin clarity, mood, and even energy levels. When your gut is out of balance—thanks to processed foods, stress, or antibiotics—it can lead to a chain reaction of issues:
Digestive Woes: Bloating, constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux.
Skin Troubles: Acne, eczema, rosacea, dull complexion.
Mood Swings & Fatigue: Brain fog, anxiety, feeling ‘off’ all the time.
Signs Your Gut Needs Some Love
Not sure if your gut is the issue? Here are some red flags:
You struggle with food sensitivities or bloating after meals.
You deal with frequent skin breakouts or inflammation.
Your energy levels have tanked, even with good sleep.
You have unpredictable digestion (swings between constipation and diarrhea).
How to Heal Your Gut (and Feel Like Yourself Again)
If any of these sound familiar, don’t worry—your gut can heal with the right approach. Here’s how:
1. Clean Up Your Diet
Ditch the processed foods and refined sugars, which feed bad bacteria. Instead, load up on gut-loving foods like:
Fermented foods (kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir)
Bone broth for gut lining support
Fiber-rich veggies to keep digestion moving smoothly
2. Rebuild with the Right Supplements
Your gut might need a little extra support to get back on track, but its recommended to test instead of guess whats needed.
At Foundations Functional Medicine we utilize the GI MAP stool test to take a deeper look into whats happening in your gut.
3. Manage Stress & Sleep
Your gut and brain are besties—if one is stressed, the other suffers. Prioritize:
7–9 hours of quality sleep
Stress management techniques like meditation or deep breathing
Gentle movement like yoga or walking
