A Few More Thoughts On Gut Health

So the other night as we were driving home together, Nathan and I got to be talking about gut health.  (I know, I know...one of my new favorite topics that my sweet husband patiently puts up with!)  I was telling him how 80% of our immune system is located in our gut and 90% of our serotonin (happy hormone) production is in our gut, which directly affects mood, anxiety issues, etc.  Doctors are calling our gut a "second brain" because of all its neurological connections to the rest of the body.  Even melatonin is produced there, which affects our sleep!  He was like, "Wait a minute...you're telling me that the state of my INTESTINES affects my nerves? and my mind? and my mood?"  Yup.  That's exactly right!

This is why gut health is so crucial to overall health!  Eating well and staying fit is very important but you can't walk, jog, run, lift, or squat away an unhealthy gut. Nor can you just eat "healthy" and hope it goes away!  You need additional tools in your toolbox to cleanse it, kill off the bad guys dwelling in there, restore healthy flora and bring balance.  This is why Plexus gut products have been such game changers in my own life!  No matter what you're dealing with in your body, gut health is at the root. #guthealthforthewin #KatrinasPlexusStory

Hi Katrina!
Could you tell me which Plexus products you use for gut health? My daughter is interested. She has become lactose intolerant and has other issues as well. Thank you! Jennifer Newsom

Hi Jennifer! Good to hear from you tonight on the blog! :) The Plexus products for gut health are called Bio Cleanse and ProBio5. If you send me your email address at this email: purefragrance99@gmail.com, I'd be happy to share more information with you about what these two products specifically do, what they are made of, and what the results are that people have been experiencing. I love sharing about Plexus! Blessings to you!
