Getting to grips with Gut Health, Part Two: The Doom of Dysbiosis. Read the second instalment of my gut health feature article in which I explore the path from a healthy gut to gut disturbances and disease. https://lnkd.in/dJbgSRRY We know by now that dietary habits can have a powerful impact on the composition of our microbiota. Sadly, the conventional Western-style diet that is so common in the UK is overly processed and packed with sugar, salt, fat and additives which can reduce gut microbial diversity and lead to dysbiosis. Dysbiosis simply indicates an imbalance and instability of the gut microbiota which can lead to a variety of adverse health problems. This can create a snowball effect, altering our gut barrier function and permeability, and abnormally activating our immune cells, leading to high incidences of chronic diseases across the body. If the Western diet can play a role in triggering dysbiosis, the solution lies in promoting a healthy whole foods diet to support the gut microbiome and prevent disease. ------------ Read more in the second part of my two-part feature on the gut microbiome and its role in health and disease.

Food as medicine! Passing the Medical Nutrition Act could be a game-changer in addressing various health concerns, including diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, malnutrition, and more. Not only will this expansion benefit seniors under Medicare Part B, but it will also address health equity concerns. Let's work towards a healthier future for everyone. #Healthcare #Nutrition #MedicarePartB #PublicHealth #Foodasmedicine #NutritionforDiabetes

An imbalance in gut microbiota can exacerbate inflammation and immune responses, contributing to the severity of psoriasis symptoms. As a functional medicine doctor, supporting individuals with psoriasis involves addressing the link between gut health and disease severity, as highlighted by recent studies showing less microbial diversity in severe cases.  Here’s how we can help patients maintain and improve their gut flora diversity: 🥦Personalized Dietary Guidance: Providing individualized nutrition plans rich in diverse fibers, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory foods to promote a healthy gut microbiome. 🦠Probiotic Supplementation: Prescribing specific personalized probiotic strains known to enhance microbial diversity and support immune function, tailored to each patient’s needs. 🧘♂️Lifestyle Modifications: Advising on stress management techniques, regular exercise, and adequate sleep to reduce inflammation and support gut health. 🧪Functional Testing: Conducting advanced diagnostic tests to assess gut microbiota composition and identify microbial and vitamin/mineral imbalances that may contribute to psoriasis severity. 🌿Integrated Treatment Plans: Developing holistic treatment plans that combine dietary adjustments, supplements, lifestyle changes, and stress management strategies to optimize gut health and overall well-being. By addressing gut dysbiosis through these comprehensive approaches, we aim to empower patients with psoriasis to maintain and improve their gut flora diversity, potentially reducing inflammation and managing their condition more effectively.  Visit www.terrainhealth.org and book a free 15 minute discovery call!  SOURCE: https://lnkd.in/efE4Vv-p #Psoriasis #GutHealth #Microbiome #FunctionalMedicine #functionalmedicinedoctor #IntegratedMedicine
