Aloha Reader, Upside-Down Pilates Join me for an anatomy minute!

What does that me? In a dysbiotic microbiome there are not many different types of microbes, there are not many of the foundational microbes that produce the substances we need to thrive in health, and there may be pathogens starting to grow and take over residence since the health building microbes are missing. Dysbiosis is the root cause of most gut-related dysfunction. It must be addressed before symptom-chasing. Dysbiosis results in body wide symptoms and is the root of all health complaints from joint pain to Alzheimers and diabetes. What causes dysbiosis? Antibiotics Medications and some medical treatments Glyphosate (pesticide first pate ted as an antibiotic) Stress Limited diversity in the diet Processed foods Emotional Trama Heavy physical training and the list goes on and on If you are interested in investing in yourself and joining me for Upside-Down Nourishment or returning to Upside-Down Nourishment personalized programs, please fill out this form to see if we might be a good fit to work together.
