Modern Medicine has raised the human intestine to the category of "VIP", close to the brain in importance, and that is because the gut, being the route through which we interact with our environment and over which we have control, is crucial to optimal health. The intestine speaks of the mind-body connection in Irritable Bowel Syndrome and "stomach butterflies". It synthesizes 95% of our serotonin, a main brain protein to prevent depression and sugar cravings. The intestine forms vitamins, holds a considerable portion of the immune system, and is the main conduit of detoxification. When dysfunctional, it can produce malnutrition, depression, insomnia, weight problems and even social embarrassment.
"We are not what we eat, but what we absorb"
At The MIAMI Institute, we have a program designed to maximize Intestinal Health. We assess intestinal function through food intolerance testing and a specimen analysis that will provide very valuable information regarding digestion, absorption, metabolism, and intestinal flora (the good bacteria and fungus that live in the gut). In turn, treatment will be based on your history, symptomatology, plus test results. It will include an elimination diet, symbiotics and other aides of gut health and improvement of your intestinal habits. In addition, we may recommend some natural solutions that help restore intestinal absorption.
