PERSONAL TRAINING: NUTRITION 201: Healing The Gut
Once you have committed yourself to spending the money and the time to get yourself into top physical condition, making sure that you have optimal digestive health should be your first priority. Healing the gut is a several-step approach. You must do all of the following:
- Repair the damage done to the small intestine.
- Recognize and treat various food allergies and food sensitivities.
- Give the gut an opportunity to rest from the full burden of nutrient breakdown.
- Adopt a long-term lifestyle change in the form of rotational diet to de-stress the gut and improve overall nutrition.
Healing the Gut for Maximal Performance
Supplements That Work: Glutamine and Intestinal Repair Complex
Repair of the gut is best accomplished using glutamine, and an intestinal repair product like Biogenesis’ Intestinal Repair Complex. Both work synergistically to repair the damage to the small intestine and improve absorption.
The amino acid glutamine has several benefits. Particular in this case is its ability to repair the lining of the gut and improve the integrity of the intestine, thus restoring its ability to absorb nutrients
Intestinal Repair Complex is a comprehensive formula that soothes, heals, and aids the intestine with the digestive process. While it does contain a small amount of glutamine, it works best when used with additional supplemental forms of that amino acid.
If you want the best result from your personal training efforts, work with a personal trainer who knows how to heal your gut.
