Digestion is an issue that commonly affects many people in society but we often declare it as being ‘normal’ or just something we need to deal with as we get older, I mean who really wants to discuss with their friends the amount of times they break wind…right?
For others, they’ve tried the fad diets, probiotics and perhaps even consulted a specialist, all to no avail. But is there potentially a simple reason that your digestive system might be giving you grief? A solution so simple you can’t believe no one ever discussed it with you?
Over the yeas our team has seen some amazing success stories of people having life changing events just by making extremely simple corrections. With a quick assessment, we can often highlight specific imbalances in neurology, physiology or diet they may be causing you digestive issues.
Whilst sensitivities to things such as fructose, lactose and gluten are now commonly understood by many, still the simplest aspects of digestion and diet are not. To understand what we mean, you just need to look at where and how our macro nutrients are digested.
Digestion is a complicated process of neurological engagement, enzyme stimulation and digestive motility. Different items are digested, absorbed and assimilated in different areas of our body. Understanding this mechanism and knowing how to ‘hack’ the system can potentially get you one step ahead of the pack.
But just in case you don’t get a chance to watch our short vid, here’s a quick summary of what you might have missed:
- Carbohydrate digestion starts in the mouth, chew your carbs!
- Protein digestion starts in the stomach, less important to chew your proteins
- Drinking with a meal can often dilute stomach acids reducing protein digestion
- Mixing high proteins and carbs together in a meal can potentially alter digestion
Digestion is a complicated mine field that requires expert knowledge to navigate. Going it alone can sometimes lead to years of frustration, stress and disappointment. That’s why my team has completed extensive training on digestive dysfunction and has developed a specific gut assessment process to identify the cause of your gut problems.
