Functional Nutritionist Andrea Nicholson explores the various factors that can cause gut dysfunctions outside of the digestive system. She discusses the impact of liver dysfunctions, gallbladder issues, thyroid imbalances, dehydration, pancreas issues, brain health, and eating habits on gut health. These factors can lead to symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, bloating, gas, heartburn, and upset stomach. By understanding the potential culprits and seeking the guidance of a healthcare professional, it is possible to improve gut health and overall well-being.

Metabolic health is a critical aspect of our overall well-being, as it reflects how efficiently our body processes food and maintains stable blood sugar levels. Poor metabolic health can lead to serious conditions like diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and mental health disorders such as depression and Alzheimer's. High blood sugar levels and symptoms like fatigue and weight issues can indicate poor metabolic health. To improve metabolic health, it is important to adopt healthy eating habits, exercise regularly, manage stress, and seek guidance from a holistic health practitioner who can provide personalized recommendations and support. By taking steps to improve metabolic health, we can enhance our physical and mental well-being in the long term.
