Are you struggling to find answers for your chronic symptoms, even after tons of diagnostic testing and seeing specialist after specialist? This is actually more common than you may realize. It is very smart to see your conventional doctor for an understanding of your symptoms, but more often than not we have to go a level deeper to actually determine what is driving your symptoms. Exposure to environmental toxins, high stress, inflammatory foods, past traumas, underlying gut issues, chronic viral infections… all of them can combine to cause a perfect storm of inflammation in your body. Putting together your health timeline can help us identify the missing pieces of the puzzle. In today’s world, the solution often lies beyond your traditional doctor visits or eating “healthy.” GritWell is here to work collaboratively with your doctors and provide that extra guidance. #Chronicsymptoms #chronicillness #chronicpain #chronicmigraines #mysymptoms #gutpain #guthealth #holistichealth #functionalmedicine #chronicinflammation #healthandwellness #healthychoices #foodismedicine #diagnostictesting #rootcause 
As explained in a previous post, there is a major link between your gut microbiome and mood. Taking care of your gut microbiome can drastically improve your mood and your health overall. The chemical messages passed between the gut and the brain are greatly affected by bacteria, fungi, and toxins that live in the gut microbiome. It is important to be aware of gut offenders and ways to support your gut microbiome because we are exposed to more toxins in our food and water systems today than ever before (damaging our microbiome and contributing to a very sick population). Here are some ways to support your gut microbiome, in turn improving your mental health and mood. #guthealth #mentalhealthawareness #microbiome #holistichealth #functionalmedicine 
Prebiotics are forms of dietary fiber that feed the friendly bacteria in your gut, helping the gut bacteria produce nutrients for your colon cells and lead to a healthier digestive system. If you are experiencing digestive symptoms such as bloating and constipation, prebiotics can help alleviate these symptoms. Prebiotic foods are also known to improve metabolic health and even help prevent certain diseases. Some healthy prebiotic foods include: garlic, onions, leeks, asparagus, bananas, barley, oats, apples, cocoa, flaxseeds, jicama root, and seaweed. #prebiotics #guthealth #holistichealth #functionalmedicine 
In the past few months we have been overwhelmed by the number of women and men who have come to us with multiple chronic symptoms. These patients have seen several doctors/specialists, tried multiple supplements and diets, but have still found no relief. We are here to guide you to the right level of care whether you are looking for lasting relief for your migraines, or want to prevent the advancement of an autoimmune disease. Our mission here at GritWell is to shift the focus of healthcare from the symptom to the root cause, empowering patients to understand why they are sick in the first place. #holistichealth #chronicillness #functionalmedicine
