A long time ago, Hippocrates said, “all disease begins in the gut”. This statement holds true even today as modern scientific evidence points out. A healthy gut is a precursor of a healthy body and mind, and you’ll know why, in this video.

Research suggests that the gut microbiome has a crucial role to play in maintaining physical and mental health. There’s a combination of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bacteria in the gut and their balance is important for functions like digestion and immune response.

In fact, an imbalance of the gut microbiome could lead to various health problems. From gut dysbiosis and constipation to GI infections, there are several diseases that find their origin in the gut.

Watch the video to get an in-depth knowledge of gut health. Get expert recommendations from our certified NTP to improve your gut health and be in the best shape of your life.

In her book, ‘Fortify Your Life’, Tieraona Low Dog makes a shocking prediction. She says that for the first time in history, parents will outlive their children. This is not a one-off view but expert consensus.

The reason? Well, it has a lot to do with modern diets and its limitations.

In this video, we talk about the massive variety of foods that our ancestors ate and how we eat just a fraction of that. Our ancestral diet was predominantly plant-based and contained as much as 1000-1500 varieties of food. Compare it to our modern diets where an average person has access to just 18-20 varieties!

Our certified NTP, Sarah Sloan has some insightful recommendations on how to include more diverse foods into your diet. She highlights the importance of sourcing local food and “eating a rainbow”.

This episode is packed with great nutritional knowledge and how initiatives like Local Food Direct are helping people go organic.
