Many people are familiar with food allergies in wh

Many people are familiar with food allergies in which a person has an immediate reaction to a certain food that can be life-threatening. Food sensitivities, on the other hand, are delayed and linked to milder yet frustrating symptoms.

The P88 Dietary Antigen Test can pinpoint specific foods that may be contributing to a person’s symptoms. With the results of the test, a personalized food plan can be created for the patient to follow for a certain amount. Identifying and eliminating food sensitivities can assist in the healing of intestinal permeability, decrease inflammation, and improve symptoms.

Enter for your chance to win!

Other prizes include a Water Filtration Pitcher from Aqua Gear and an Art of Tea Sampler Pack!

Increased exposure to artificial light, particular

Increased exposure to artificial light, particularly blue light, at the wrong times has been detrimental to our sensitive internal clock.

As the sun goes down and natural darkness ensues, melatonin is released to signal to our bodies that it is time for sleep. When that process is interrupted with artificial light (from smartphones, TVs, tablets, computers, etc.), sleep and circadian disorders can develop.

Dr. Czeisler, a sleep researcher, states “light is known to affect human chronobiology more than any drug on the market.”

One study showed using a tablet at night just before sleeping while in bed suppresses melatonin, alters sleep quality, and reduces cognitive performance the next morning. PMID: 25535358

Tips for supporting your circadian rhythm:
☀️get outside in the morning to expose your eyes to natural light (exposure throughout the day is important too)
📱Stop looking at screens a couple hours before bedtime
💡Dim the lights in your house during the evening
👓Try wearing blue-blocking glasses at night
🛌Make sure your bedroom is completely dark when you go to sleep

The GI tract begins in the mouth which is home to

The GI tract begins in the mouth which is home to the second largest microbial community in the human body.

The oral microbiome has a wide range of microorganisms and plays a crucial role in maintaining oral homeostasis, protecting the oral cavity, and preventing disease development (both oral and systemic).

Interestingly, oral diseases such as cavities and periodontal disease have been linked to type 2 diabetes. Studies have shown significant differences in the oral bacteria between type 2 diabetic patients and non-diabetic patients. Other diseases that are linked to oral bacteria include cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, adverse pregnancy outcomes, stroke, inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer, respiratory tract infection, pneumonia, and more.

Modifiable factors that contribute to dysbiosis of the oral microbiome:
🔹oral hygiene
🔹diet
🔹smoking
🔹antibiotics
🔹salivary gland dysfunction
🔹certain diseases

Good oral hygiene and regular dental cleanings are part of a healthy lifestyle. Don’t overlook this critical component of health. 🦷
