HEY THERE connection to self.

Hi, I'm Lauren, a Certified Nutrition and


Health Coach, ocean lover and voracious
podcast consumer! My journey to wellness
started well before I got my qualifications.
I’ve had to manage anxiety, anaemia, bouts
of fatigue and general overwhelm which
seem to be all too common these days. I've
seen loved ones struggle with their own
health issues and have the medical system
try its best but fail.

Don’t get me wrong, conventional medicine


has its place providing critical care however
I believe we can do more to prevent chronic
disease and reduce the burden on the
medical system.

As a corporate professional I’ve learnt just


how important health, wellbeing and
balance are in sustaining your vitality so you
can function at your best.
I'm fascinated by the latest in the gut and
mitochondrial function and how it protect us
from illnesses like depression, cancer and
autoimmune diseases and supports
longevity. 7 Days to Optimal Gut Health
was created to share the latest research and
practical tools to empower you to take
control of your wellbeing, and reclaim your
vitality.

If you're tired of being tired, anxious, sick,


unmotivated, struggling with illness or just
looking to be your best self - this is for you!

Intro to Gut Health
VTL LIVING - 7 DAYS TO OPTIMAL GUT HEALTH

VITALITY IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT; WE JUST NEED TO FEEL EMPOWERED TO


TAKE OWNERSHIP OF OUR HEALTH. TO HELP YOU EMBARK ON THAT
JOURNEY, I'VE HANDPICKED SOME OF THE LATEST RESEARCH. TO GUIDE
YOU TOWARDS HEALTHIER HABITS, AN OPTIMISED DIGESTIVE SYSTEM,
HORMONAL BALANCE, AND VITALITY.

The gut, hailed as the "second brain," has a profound influence over our
wellbeing. With trillions of microorganisms that make up the gut microbiome,
it's crucial to nurture this ecosystem for optimal health. This program aims to
achieve just that —cultivating a diverse and resilient gut microbiome.
While nurturing long-term gut health takes time, this 7-day program serves as a
starting point. By integrating these practices into your life, you'll be laying the
foundations for better gut health and vitality.

So whats in it for you? Well here are 5 compelling benefits of supportig your

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract works hard to

particles for absorption. When digestion and
absorption aren't functioning well, it can lead
to low energy, a sluggish metabolism, mental

chronic illnesses.
ELIMINATION
Out with the bad in with the good.
Elimination is just as important as digestion.
This involves removing the unusable food
and eliminating toxic waste from
biochemical reactions In our cells. Fiber-rich
foods and supplements in addition to regular
exercise can aid in better elimination and
detoxification.

MICROFLORA BALANCE
Our microflora consists of over 500 different
strains of beneficial yeast, bacteria and
microorganisms that grow in the intestines.
That helps maintain healthy digestion and
absorption in the GI tract. These organisms
help regulate immune function and blood
sugar levels, assist in vitamin production and
manufacture essential nutrients. Having
variety in your diet supports a healthy
microbiome balance to prevent illnesses.

GUT INTEGRITY
A critical function of the lining of the gut is to
allow nutrients into the body and excluding all
the harmful substances that pass through our
gut. If this selective barrier isn’t maintained,
the intestinal barrier becomes permeable to
harmful substances that trigger immune-
related responses, typically linked to
disorders as Chron's, Celiac disease, eczema
and food allergies.
