9 Signs of an Unhealthy Gut
If you watched any of my YouTube videos, Nutrition with Judy podcasts, and social media microblog posts, you know that I focus on getting to root cause, usually by supporting the gut with a meat-based elimination diet (hey, Carnivore Cure).
But what does a healthy gut look like? And what does an unhealthy gut look like? And does this even apply to you?
If you take a look at the back of Carnivore Cure, there are saddening statistics about the health of Americans. One of the statistics is about gut disease: one in four Americans suffer from gut disease. Carnivore Cure is rooted in leveraging a meat-based elimination diet to get back to optimal health. A meat-based diet focuses on eating meat to feel optimal.
WHY EAT MEAT-BASED FOR GUT HEALTH?
The diet removes most of the toxins from processed foods such as excess sugars, inflammatory seed oils, and lab-made ingredients like food dyes, preservatives, fillers, MSG, etc. But it’s because meat is the most bioavailable and nutrient-dense food you can eat.
The body can break down and absorb meat even with a less than optimal functioning gut.
