Whole30 and Your Gut Flora

Someone in your office is doing “Whole30” this January, and they’re likely telling everyone about it.

And if you haven’t heard anyone talking about it… then it might be you.

If you haven’t heard of it (and you weren’t listening while your coworker explained it), “Whole30” is a month-long exclusionary diet. For 30 days, you cut out soy, dairy, grains, alcohol, legumes, and added sugars. 

So… probably most of what your regular Western diet consists of. The idea is that after 30 days, a participant would slowly start to introduce food groups back into their diet, so that they can see which foods may have been secretly irritating them or causing discomfort. Sort of like the idea behind the FODMAP diet for those with bowel issues.

Physical Fitness to Get Your Gut Health in Gear

A lot can happen in 42 days.

Habits form, people fall in love, zucchinis grow. 

And according to recent research, the bacteria in the gut microbiome changes after only 42 days — or six weeks — of exercise. That’s without changing your diet, medication, or anything else. 

A burgeoning field of study, the gut microbiome has been scientifically verified to impact almost every area of a functioning life… 

Our moods, skin quality, digestive health, energy levels, appetites, propensity towards diseases, and much more.

How to Care for your Mental, Spiritual, Physical, and Emotional Self

You know how you can tell the self-care movement is making an impact?

Corporations are talking about it, integrating it in their systems, and encouraging their employees to study their own self-care needs. All to improve the corporations’ bottom lines, of course, but if an institutional body historically opposed to the needs of the individual starts touting the benefits of a movement…

It’s probably time to listen.

The thing is, most people aren’t sure how to care for themselves.
