Show Notes
Before we dive into this podcast episode I want to take a moment to excitedly announce that the hand picked sponsor of Love & Guts for the month of December is Nutrition Care and in particular their hero supplement NC Gut Relief.
Clinical trial results were presented at the NIIM 6TH annual symposium recently. The study showed that the NC Gut Relief formula significantly improved the frequency and severity of upper and lower GI - symptoms by 60-80%, including indigestion, heartburn, nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, troublesome flatulence, as well as mouth ulcers, bad breath, rashes, improving quality of life and sleep.
The NC Gut Relief Formula significantly improved gastrointestinal symptoms over 3 months, while reducing intestinal permeability, and improving microbial profile, reducing the need for reflux medication and enabling the consumption of previous trigger foods.
Really impressive stuff wouldn't you agree? I have used the Gut Relief Formula in some clients experiencing reflux and heartburn with much success.
It is always important however to seek the support of a qualified health practitioner such as myself to ascertain whether this formula is the right fit for your needs.
