GUT HEALTH INFLAMATION – FATIGUE
Fatigue is linked to poor gut health and inflammation. An imbalanced gut microbiome and chronic inflammation can impair nutrient absorption, causing deficiencies that lead to fatigue. Conditions like IBS, food intolerances, and infections can exacerbate inflammation, disrupting sleep and energy levels.
Food intolerance occurs when the body has difficulty digesting certain foods or drinks, resulting in chemical reactions that lead to discomfort. Unlike food allergies, which involve the immune system and can trigger severe reactions like anaphylaxis, food intolerance typically causes digestive symptoms such as bloating, gas, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and nausea. These symptoms often overlap with other gut-related issues, making food intolerance a frequently overlooked contributor to digestive discomfort. Common culprits include lactose, gluten, and specific carbohydrates that the digestive system struggles to break down effectively. Poor gut health and inflammation play a central role in food intolerance, as they disrupt digestion and nutrient absorption, amplifying symptoms.
Sensitivity testing is a key tool for identifying the root causes of food intolerance. Many people unknowingly consume foods that trigger symptoms, perpetuating cycles of inflammation and discomfort. Sensitivity testing helps uncover these hidden triggers, enabling individuals to make targeted dietary changes that reduce gut inflammation and restore digestive balance. By eliminating or reducing problematic foods, incorporating probiotics, and supporting the gut with nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory foods, individuals can effectively manage food intolerance symptoms and enhance their overall quality of life. This personalized approach not only alleviates immediate symptoms but also supports long-term digestive health.
A study in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found that over 60% of individuals with chronic fatigue have gut microbiome imbalances.
Another study in the Journal of Nutrition showed that improving gut health reduced fatigue symptoms by 25%.
