Our modern world is hell on our guts. It serves as our “first responder” to the junk in our diets. Chemicals and foreign, man-made creations can cause damage.
When your gut is damaged, your body can’t absorb the crucial nutrients it needs like omega-3 fats, magnesium, zinc, vitamin D, and B12.
These key nutrients, which are critical for healthy brain function, have trouble being absorbed when things go wrong in your gut.
Here’s what I’m talking about...
Your small intestine’s lining is only one cell layer thick.
And when this delicate barrier is damaged by toxins, overuse of medications, or a poor diet, you can have partially digested food particles “leaking” into your bloodstream.
It’s like a load of raw sewage leaking into your blood. This activates your immune system, causing you to become allergic to foods you normally should be able to digest.
This can leave you feeling sick, depressed, anxious, and even absent-minded.
Ultimately, you’re not only what you eat; you are truly only what you absorb.
So, what can you do to fix this problem?
Dr. Hyman, author of the New York Times bestselling book, The UltraMind Solution, has outlined a strategy that can help you fix your gut.
Start by eliminating food allergens from your diet like gluten and dairy for 6 weeks.
Then he suggests taking digestive enzymes, zinc, and probiotics.
These can help to repair the damaged intestines and bring your digestive system and your brain back into balance.
I’ll explain how you can get more information to fix your gut in a second. I have one more point to show how important your gut is to your overall health.
Take eczema for instance. That’s the scaly rash you can get anywhere on your skin.
Most doctors, know how to put on potions, lotions, and salves, which work on the outside, BUT skin problems like eczema really come from the inside.
So, unless you address the underlying cause underneath your skin, you won’t fix the problem…
You’ll just deal with the symptoms.
The things that trigger inflammation in your skin are the same things that trigger inflammation in your brain.
In fact with some people, if they have an inflamed gut they’ll get eczema. While others may get autism or depression.
But the treatment is the same as treating your leaky gut.
So, if you want to fix your skin, you need to fix your gut.
Why do I bring this up?
Because these were just two tips Dr. Hyman gave during the live taping of his national public television program which aired on 75% of the nation’s PTV channels last June.
During this 58-minute program, he taught how imbalances in the seven core systems of the body explain all the symptoms and diseases we think are “brain” problems.
In fact, the seven keys that he discussed inside the DVD are not just the seven keys to an UltraMind, but the seven keys to everything.
During this show he teaches you the seven keys to an UltraMind, and what you can do today to fix your broken brain (and your leaky gut).
The information in this DVD is very relevant to our daily lives, because we now have the answer to many of our brain problems… (from depression to dementia, from anxiety to autism, from memory problems to mood swings and from brain fog to trouble concentrating).
After watching it myself, I made special arrangements with Dr. Hyman to make it available to you.
Here are just a few of the subjects he talked about…
How to fix your brain by feeding it the right foods…
How to rebalance your hormones…
How to reduce inflammation and renew your body and brain…
Why your gut has more to do with your happy mood than your brain…
How toxins may be causing you to be sick, sluggish, overweight, and mentally drained…
How to get more energy without drugs or caffeine…
Why stress causes brain damage and how you can start relaxing…
I like the complete Q&A period with the live audience. They were real people struggling with real problems…
How to get rid of bacteria and yeast that are overgrowing and creating havoc inside your stomach…
How to get the right balance of omega-3 fats…
What may be confusing your immune system and attacking your thyroid…
Why all the new heavily marketed high-fiber foods are not all they are made out to be…
The truth about alcohol and your brain (and what extra vitamins you may need to be taking if you drink)…
Steps to take if you have irritable bowel syndrome…
How to know if you are allergic or sensitive to gluten…
How to address autism…
Your body is the best judge.
It will tell you exactly what to do and how to fix itself. You simply have to listen.
Inside “The UltraMind Solution” DVD, Dr. Hyman will show you how to incorporate the seven keys to an UltraMind and begin healing your brain.
To Your Good Health,
Al Sears, MD
