We tend to take our bones for granted. At least, until we break one or get a diagnosis of osteoporosis.

Eating well? Great! But are you absorbing the nutrients you are eating?

If not, you may be malnourished in spite of a healthy diet.

Having gut trouble? Or mood, or other health issues and you’ve heard your gut might have something to do with it?

It is true. Much of what is going on with your thyroid or your mood or your joint pain or your brain has origin in your gut. It is great that this truth is coming to light.

If you are using an antacid often enough to keep them around, that is a red flag for gastro-intestinal imbalance, and overall less efficient health.
