How Gut Imbalances Trigger Systemic Illnesses-
And What You Can Do About It

Dear ,

 

 

Did you know your gut health could be the key to reducing inflammation, improving digestion, and even protecting your heart?

At Denver Sports and Holistic Medicine, we believe in empowering you with knowledge to make healthier choices for your body.

 

This month, we’re shedding light on a concerning topic: the link between dysbiosis and systemic diseases.

 

In our latest blog post, From Digestion to Disease: The Alarming Effects of Dysbiosis, we dive into the research and facts surrounding this connection and share essential insights to help you protect your health.

 

Research continues to reveal the powerful link between gut bacteria and systemic health—connecting imbalances in the microbiome to:

• Autoimmune disorders like Hashimoto’s and rheumatoid arthritis

• Metabolic issues such as insulin resistance and obesity

• Cardiovascular disease due to inflammation and altered lipid metabolism

• Anxiety & depression the gut-brain connection is real!

• Skin issues like eczema, acne, & rosacea can stem from gut imbalances

 

At Denver Sports and Holistic Medicine, we take a functional medicine approach to gut health, addressing root causes like:

✅ Diet: Processed foods and excess sugar feed harmful bacteria
✅ Stress: Chronic stress alters gut motility and the gut-brain axis
✅ Environmental toxins: Pesticides, pollution, and chemicals disrupt gut balance
✅ Medications: Antibiotics, PPIs, NSAIDs, and even laxatives can impact microbiome health

Plus, did you know the oral microbiome—the first step in digestion—plays a crucial role in heart health and systemic inflammation?
