Importance Of Gut Health & Digestion

Kinesiology For Digestive Issues In Ivanhoe - Melbourne

We know how important diet and lifestyle are in supporting optimal health and wellbeing. It can be hard to know where to begin to help support your gut health and digestion. This is where Kinesiology can help as your body is able to direct us to what will work best for you and where to focus, as there is no one size fits all approach to nutrition and health. Kinesiology has many techniques to target digestive health and help to relieve digestive symptoms that can severely impact daily life.

In a Kinesiology session we are able to perform vibrational nutritional testing. This involves using vials of substances which we place on the stomach to simulate putting these compounds into your digestive system and are able to test if there is stress. We can safely test vitamins, minerals, medications, foods, allergens and much more without having to actually add these substances into your system. This allows us to have a more specific focus and understanding of what is going on in the body and what may be contributing to your symptoms to help release these and return your body to balance.

Nutrients, Vitamins and Minerals
Through vial testing, your body can give us an indication of specific nutrients that your body may need more of, or less of. We can explore adding in natural sources of these to your diet and understand why your system is not absorbing these nutrients properly. Identifying these nutrients and adding these in can help to support digestive organs produce enzymes to optimise the entire digestive process.

Food Sensitivities and Allergens
We are able to use vials to identify certain foods or substances that the body may be sensitive to and see what may be causing issues for you  commonly things like dairy, gluten, and food additives. We can also go beyond food allergens and work on allergens like dust, pollen, animal hair etc as 70% of our immune cells are found in the gut.

Kinesiology can help to identify these and also to address these to help minimise the immune response.

Hormones and Neurotransmitters
Hormone imbalances can negatively affect the digestive system. We can use vial testing to determine any hormones that need to be rebalanced in the body. The gut also produces hormones and neurotransmitters, so any digestive issues then cause further hormone imbalances and can create a cycle of imbalance. For example, 95% of serotonin and 50% of dopamine – known as “feel good hormones” and “happy hormones” are produced in the gut, not the brain like we would assume. This means that by focusing on and treating your digestive system, we can help to rebalance the chemistry in the brain and target anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns from the gut.

Stress
Stress is a huge factor in digestive distress. Many cases of IBS that have no medically identifiable cause can be attributed to stress. The old sayings of having a “gut feeling” or having “butterflies in the stomach” hold true as so many of our emotions can be physically held and felt in the stomach and digestive organs. By releasing emotional stress and trauma, we can help to soothe our digestive system and help improve digestive function.
