The gut microbiome begins to form before birth and continues to develop for 3 years after birth being shaped by environmental factors such as the chemical environment, and social environment (smoking, alcohol, and diet).

The gut microbiome plays a large role in both your nervous and immune system. It digests foods and extracts nutrients to be absorbed and wastes to be segregated and eliminated. Without proper function, these wastes and toxins may escape into the bloodstream. This is known as leaky gut syndrome. When the intestinal walls are weak, they become more permeable allowing wastes, toxins, and bacteria to leak into the bloodstream. This can cause bloating, cramps, food sensitivities, diarrhea, and low energy. Leaky gut syndrome can also be the basis for many autoimmune diseases such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, Hashimoto’s, etc. Many health problems that may be caused by leaky gut syndrome tend to go undiagnosed in traditional medicine.

However, here at ChiroLife we recognize the importance of gut health and how it can be responsible for many of the symptoms one may be experiencing. That is why we have adopted a Gut Health Program to reverse the damage from leaky gut. Phase 1 of the program begins by sealing the gut lining. In order to have proper gut function, we must first seal the intestinal lining so wastes and toxins can no longer leak through. Once the intestinal lining has been sealed it is then safe to detoxify and de-stress the gut. In this second phase, any and all toxins or foreign invaders are removed in order to neutralize the environment. By safely detoxing and cleansing the gut we will be creating an optimal environment for good bacteria to live. Thus, in the third and final phase we rebuild the gut microbiome. We will restore and replenish the good bacteria the body needs to function properly.

At ChiroLife we know that everything is connected, that is why we feel it is important to treat the root cause of disease. By reestablishing gut health we can aid in multiple ailments a person may be experiencing. During this journey, we offer an online platform where patients can track their progress and connect with ChiroLife directly if they have any questions during the program.
