Did you know that improved gut health can alleviate common skin issues like acne, eczema, and dryness which is why we often give our new clients nutrition before we even mention our clinically proven skincare.

(Do a visual demo or GRWM showcasing Dermresults and how this alongside our gut health nutrition is the secret to healthy skin.)

A quick lesson on Antibiotics….

While antibiotics are important and necessary for treating bacterial infections, they can have a negative impact on the gut microbiome. Antibiotics work by targeting and killing bacteria, including both harmful and beneficial ones. This indiscriminate killing of bacteria can disrupt the balance and diversity of the gut microbiome, leading to various effects on gut health.

How many times have you taken antibiotics? Or your family members?

Don’t fret if it’s a few, the good news is you warded off any infection and also you can reverse the situation. Get this high quality probiotic into your gut pronto!

Did you know that your tummy is the secret to happiness!?

Let’s talk about the effect of the gut on mental health.
Emerging research has proven that the gut microbiome can influence our brain function and mental health. The gut-brain axis, a bidirectional communication system, send constant messages to each other. Think about it…when you are nervous, your tummy gets butterflies. This is an instant reaction from the gut to the brain and back to the gut!

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in regulating mood, sleep, appetite, and other brain functions. While serotonin is commonly associated with the brain, it is interesting to note that a significant amount of serotonin is actually produced in the gastrointestinal tract.

In short, serotonin is the happy hormone!

Happy Gut = Happy You!

Great book, highly recommend!

Are all probiotics the same?

The short answer is No!

There are thousands of different strains of probiotics and they belong to various species of bacteria and yeasts.

There are billions of CFU (which stands for "colony-forming units.") It is a unit of measurement used to quantify the number of viable microorganisms, such as bacteria or yeast, in a probiotic product. So, yes, there are a LOT!

And the quality of the probiotic is important in terms of whether it survives the difficult journey down the intestinal tract. This is what set’s Arbonne’s gut health supplements apart:

Here comes the Science bit:

What is the gut microbiome and why are probiotics important?

This is the complex community of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes, that inhabit our gastrointestinal tract. These microorganisms play a crucial role in maintaining our overall health and well-being.

The gut microbiome is involved in several important functions, such as digestion and nutrient absorption, immune system regulation and our neurological and mental health. Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when consumed in adequate amounts, confer health benefits to the host. These beneficial bacteria and yeasts can help improve the composition and function of the gut microbiome.

Probiotics are crucial to support the balance of beneficial bacteria and restoring and maintaining gut health, particularly after disruptions like antibiotic use, illness or stress.

Probiotics can also aid in the digestion and absorption of nutrients.
