Digestive Health

Digestive issues are becoming more and more common in today’s society, ranging from IBS to more extreme conditions such as Colitis and Crohn's disease. And these digestive issues can also impact your overall health and immune system. New research shows that over 70% of your immune system lives in your gut.

Causes of poor digestion

There are many factors that can contribute to poor digestion, with some of the key ones being diet, food sensitivities and emotional trauma.

Food Intolerances

Food intolerances have become more common in recent years. With Kinesiology we can use muscle testing to find out which foods may be having a negative impact on your health and work towards building your system up to try to minimise negative reactions to foods.

Microbiome balance 

Our gut microbiome is a delicate balance of the good and bad gut bacterial, and we need both of them for optimal health. However, if these bacteria are out of balance it will have a knock-on effect on our health. The good news is, balancing the microbiome is relatively simple and can be done through food and supplementation.

Emotional stress and digestion

Have you ever had butterflies or knots in your stomach before something stressful happens? This is our body’s physical response to emotional stress, and if the stress is ongoing it will have a long-term impact on your gut. With Kinesiology, we can use muscle testing to identify the stressors and work with different techniques to alleviate stress and repair your digestion and gut.

​Ileocecal Valve Syndrome and Digestive Health

The Ileocecal Valve (ICV) can be a major factor in your health and wellbeing. A malfunctioning Ileocecal Valve is an extremely common condition. It can trigger a long list of distressing symptoms. It’s frequently the cause of "I just don't feel well" ​

How Can Kinesiology Help my Digestive Health?

There’s not a catch-all that will work for everyone, but there are tools available that can help. With Kinesiology, we can identify exactly what it is you need (nutrition, supplements, exercise, meditation, sleep etc.), in what quantity and how long you need it for in order to improve your digestive health.
