Heal Leaky Gut

Never stop learning! I think I will make this my new motto for life. I woke up at 6 a.m. this morning to listen to a webinar on Healing Leaky Gut. I've heard that the more you know, the more responsibility you have to do something about it. Well, I have known that the reason for my poor health is inflammation due to leaky gut but I have done little about it. Sure, I stopped taking Advil and Aleve. I have reduced my gluten and dairy intake. I have even incorporated kombucha and coconut oil into my diet. But the truth is I know to do so much more but I just have not done it. Okay, okay! I won't beat myself up so much. Consistency is key! I need to consistently keep out the foods that cause me a problem and consistently add in the foods that heal my gut.
The webinar was taught by Dr. Josh Axe. http://draxe.com/ He is a Functional Medicine doctor like my friend Ionela. http://drionelahubbard.com/main.html I highly recommend her, no matter what your medical issues are. They are both able to help you heal. I would be a consistent patient if I had the finances. I would send all my friends and family to her if I could. She is gifted at teaching! Sorry! I digress! Today's webinar helped me further my knowledge on Leaky Gut Syndrome and re-inspired me to take my health to the next level. I contemplated signing up for what sounded like an incredible offer but I chose to save myself some money and just ordered some new cookbooks instead.
I have been wanting to incorporate more fermented foods into my diet but lacked the knowledge to do so, so I ordered Fermentation for Beginners: The Step-By-Step Guide to Fermentation and Probiotic Foods
The whole concept of Bone Broth is new to me but it was #1 on his list of "Perfect Foods" so I ordered Bone Broth Secret: A Culinary Adventure in Health, Beauty, and Longevity
 I am really looking forward these new recipes!
