laboratories doing work differently but interconnected. Maybe called it a
funhouse of the body, where food goes to on a long scary ride, taking all kinds of
unexpected twists and turns, attacked various secretions along the way and not
knowing until the last minute whether it will be turned into a useful body or
ejected into the dark by mister sphincter.
In functional medicine, we believe that every system in the body is connected.
Your digestive and hormonal systems, for example, aren't independent of one
another. At the center of it all is a properly functioning digestive system. If around
60 to 80%, of our immune system, is located in the gut and it is sure that
unhealthy gut can cause several digestive- problems such as the upset stomach,
gas, bloating or diarrhea.
Due to poor digestion, the whole body suffers:
Weight loss or gain, arthritis, autoimmune -diseases, rashes, acne, mood
disorders, dementia or chronic diseases and cancers also.
