70% of Your Immune System Lives in Your Gut - Tips for Gut Health
In this special episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, our topic is “70% of Your Immune System Lives in Your Gut – Tips for Gut Health with Dr. Ken Redcross”. Dr. Ken Redcross is the author of “Bond: The 4 Cornerstones of a Lasting and Caring Relationship with Your Doctor,” and founder of a unique concierge service providing patient-first treatment through Strategic Health Services. Your gastrointestinal tract has a vast and complex ecosystem known as the gut microbiome, bustling with a myriad of bacteria, fungi and other microbes. These microscopic organisms are integral not only for proper digestive function and absorption of nutrients but also for engaging in a continuous dialogue with the vast network of immune cells working together to defend your body’s health. As Dr Redcross states in this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast - 70% of your immune system is embedded within your gut, where it interacts with the multitude of microorganisms living in your microbiome.
A healthy gut microbiome includes a diversity of beneficial bacteria that helps your immune system function at its best, while a disrupted microbiome may undermine its ability to diligently protect your health. When we seek comfort in the foods we love, they don’t always love us back. Having a healthy gut is all about balance. Often, it’s not very practical or even sustainable to banish the foods you love. By following simple tips and making a few lifestyle fixes, you can keep your belly both happy and healthy. It's also imperative to recognize that true abundance encompasses not only material prosperity but also physical health, and mental and emotional well-being. Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated book, has several chapters to help you master the art of recovery from disruption including healthy eating and lifestyle. The Holistic Wealth Personal Workbook is also a great resource. Subscribe and tune into this episode of the Holistic Wealth Podcast.
What is a healthy gut?
Gut health refers to the well-being of the digestive system, which is responsible for breaking down food, absorbing nutrients and eliminating waste from the body. It is home to trillions of microorganisms—including bacteria, viruses and fungi—that are collectively known as the gut microbiome. 70% of your immune system is embedded within your gut, where it interacts with the multitude of microorganisms living in your microbiome.
