A Deeper Look at Micronutrients, Omega 3s, Digestive Enzymes and Probiotics and Why they HELP with Gut Health

Ever wonder about your gut health and the impact Micro (small) Nutrients has on it? In this episode, I’m explaining a few of my top supplements that are foundational and that I recommend my clients take daily to boost their immune system and give better metabolic function on a cellular level as well as keep energy levels going. While we always recommend a good multi-vitamin, you need to aim for whole food sources for good sources of vitamins and minerals too. You may have heard "eat the rainbow" (vegetables and fruits, not Skittles! 😂) for the most variety and vitamin/mineral content. Think about a fast food meal: burger and fries… What color is the majority of that? BROWN! Not a lot of vitamins/minerals come from that meal. Now, picture a big leafy green salad filled with assorted veggies - that's going to be a much better choice for health! In addition to more vitamins/minerals, eating a wide variety of foods helps to build your gut microbiome. Every food we eat has a different world of it's own bacteria (the good kind!) that helps strengthen our gut health. When you eat the same foods, you're not getting a variety of bacteria. By having a wide variety, you're getting so many more strands of that good bacteria that the body needs. This is why I supplement with micronutrients, greens, and omega-3s to provide a better variety and diversity that I would never otherwise get and I’ve included the links for each one below. Make it a priority this week to add more fruits/veggies of all colors to your meals. Pick one new one a week and explore fun ways to cook it. This is also great for getting kids to try new things! Share with me what you're trying out this week to add more color/vitamins/minerals on my Facebook group!
