All of the Happy Holidays Between Thanksgiving and the New Year

Part of the fun, tinsel-laced, snow-kissed holiday tension during this stretch of the year is determining whether to say “Merry Christmas,” because it reminds you of your childhood and watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV, or saying “Happy Holidays,” which has no sentimental value except that it includes the previously excluded.

3 Common Health Issues You Had No Idea Were Gut-Related

When Hippocrates famously said, “All disease begins in the gut,” he likely had no idea how right he was.

For example, could he have known that the gut contains 10 times more bacteria responsible for regulating your health than the rest of the body? 

Or that the bacterial transfer that occurs at birth affects the diversity of your microbiome (collection of gastro-intestinal bacteria in the digestive tract) for life?

Is it possible that he knew the root cause of bacteria destruction in the gut flora also weakens the gut barrier and leads to leaky gut, diverticulitis, and other disorders?

Maybe not. But he was on the right track.

Get Familiar with your Gut Feelings: 4 Digestive Phases PT 2

Although it may seem obvious to some, most people are vastly unaware of how their digestion actually operates. And if you don’t understand the mechanism itself, fixing the mechanism is a moot point. 

(If you don’t understand what’s under the hood of your car, you could end up replacing coolant endlessly when the answer is a blown capacitor. I don’t know anything about cars — see how crazy that sounds?)

So in this post, we’re going to continue down through the digestive tract on our adult-level refresher of the system that effectively determines every feeling we have.
