In this episode, dietitian Gayatri discusses the importance of addressing root causes for optimal health.
A little bit about Gayatri:
Gayatri Saldivar, MS, RDN, CLT, IFNCP is an expert in the art and science of lab-based protocol design to help clients achieve whole-body wellness. Integrating the Kalish method and the science of nutritional genomics into her work, she named her practice 23 Nutrition Therapy. She is certified in Lifestyle Eating And Performance (LEAP) therapy and customizes anti-inflammation and elimination diets.
In this episode, she emphasizes the gut hormone detox connection and how it can lead to symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, sleep issues, and gut problems. Saldivar shares her approach of comprehensive root cause analysis and testing to help clients rebalance stress hormones, heal the gut lining, and support detoxification for sustainable wellness. The episode also explores various testing methods, including gut testing, hormone testing, conventional lab work, and micronutrient testing, as well as the significance of personalized nutrition and lifestyle changes. Practical tips are provided to support gut healing, hormone balance, and detox pathways, while debunking diet misconceptions.
Key Points:
• Comprehensive testing is crucial in identifying imbalances in stress hormones, gut health, and detoxification.
• Correcting the gut hormone detox connection in the right order can lead to significant progress in healing and overall well-being.
• Detox pathways are evaluated, with a specific emphasis on liver function and glutathione levels.
• A clear and structured plan is developed to address specific concerns in a phased approach.
• Misconceptions exist on both extremes: thinking diet alone can solve everything or dismissing diet as unrelated to health problems.
• Struggling with gut breakdown due to a poor diet but still wanting to consume trigger foods or drinks creates a disconnect.
• Quick wins for gut, hormone, and detox health include focusing on chewing food properly and ensuring adequate protein intake.
