Dr. Dave Explains: Gut Health

By John Aase • May 10, 2023

Gut health is a topic that is very important to HELPcare as a whole, as it is a core part of HELP: The Health, Energy & Longevity Plan. So in today's video, Dr. Dave Strobel talks about it for a few minutes, as well as the microbiome, and leaky gut syndrome.

The gut is the general term for the lower end of the digestive tract consisting of the small and large intestines. It is where the bulk of the work of digestion and absorption of nutrients in the body actually takes place. It is ground zero for numerous autoimmune conditions such as Celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or lupus that can result in serious health concerns

In the learning module this video is taken from, you will hear a brief overview on gut health, the types of food and medications that can affect it, as well as what can happen when there is something wrong with it.

Premium members can watch the full lesson, as well as our other learning modules on our website.
