HEALING
LET FOOD BE THY MEDICINE
All disease begins in the gut
Another quote from the father of medicine, Hippocrates. What an incredible wise man he was. The past two decades of research, scientists came to understand the integral role microbes (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites...) play in our digestion and immune system, as well as their contribution to health and disease. And even if not every single disease starts in the gut, many chronic metabolic diseases are believed to begin in the gut, and long-term inflammation is thought to be a driving force. Our gut bacteria and the integrity of our gut lining strongly affect our health. If many illnesses begin in the gut so does the healing. Gut, brain and immune system, it is all interconnected. Fuel delivery (oxygen and nutrients), metabolic health, gut microbiome, immune system balance, liver detoxification, brain health and hormonal balance are key factors for optimal health.

Functional lab tests
In some cases I might recommend functional lab tests to find more about the root cause(s) of the health issues. You either work with your doctor (in case you need a prescription for the insurance this is the way to go) or with the lab that I'm cooperating with (Nordic labs).
