Although the HEARThrive program is centered on heart health, this module (Module 9) addresses many other common health problems - why they occur, and what you can do to improve how you feel.
You may not realize that your gut health can influence many seemingly unrelated diseases that affect your quality of life.
Often, your doctor won’t even know why you are sick, and rather than trying to figure it out, he'll prescribe drugs to help you feel better. The drugs are simply masking your symptoms. They never truly get to the root cause of your disease and often produce undesirable and unpleasant side effects. Now you're even worse off.
Dr. Tom O'Bryan boils it down very succinctly in his book, The Autoimmune Fix. He explains that an unhealthy, leaky gut activates your immune system. This in turn provokes autoimmune responses in your body causing health problems and unusual symptoms, which over time can become full-fledged autoimmune diseases.
Do you suffer from common ailments that you cannot explain? Have you lived with these symptoms for many years, basically accepting them to be your new “normal?”
Has your doctor been perplexed and unable to come up with answers? Even worse, has he told you that it's all “in your head” and asked you to simply try to ignore how you are feeling?
Do you tend to feel more tired than you should be?
Do you suffer from indigestion - gas, bloating, acid reflux, constipation, diarrhea?
Do you experience aches and pains on a daily basis - including arthritic joint pain and back pain?
Do you have skin flare ups including eczema and psoriasis?
Do you find it difficult to concentrate? Are you moody? Do you feel anxious, depressed or mentally unwell? Are you experiencing sleep problems?
These are common symptoms of autoimmune dysfunction.
Has your doctor ever said you have diabetes, thyroid problems, or heart disease? Has your doctor ever suggested that any of these very common chronic diseases could simply be caused by the food you eat?
Worse yet, has your doctor ever told you that what you eat makes no difference and changing your diet won't help?
In Module 9, you will learn that diet and autoimmune disease are strongly associated. You will learn why commonly consumed substances such as gluten in bread could be destroying your health.
You will learn why trying a simple carnivore (meat only) diet could help you solve your chronic health problems. Thousands of people are now discovering this.
Module 9 includes some humor, some thought-provoking quotes, a lot of controversy in the emerging field of gut health, personal stories of Malcolm's own struggles with autoimmune disease and heart disease and where things went wrong, and what you can learn from this.
So, get involved now and start improving how you feel, beginning today. Why wait any longer?
