Gut health isn’t just about heartburn, indigestion, bloating, gas and stomach aches.  Not at all.

Most people are surprised to learn that 70% of your immune system is dependent on your gut health.

And it doesn’t stop there.

The health of your digestive system has an important part to play in determining the health of your entire system.  Digestive imbalances and impairments prevent your body from absorbing the nutrients required to keep your body running smoothly and efficiently.

The Eating Alive Program approaches health in this way – by supporting the gastrointestinal system to heal it encourages and triggers systemic health improvements.  One critical component of this approach is rebalancing the levels of bacteria living in the gut.  The number of bacteria in your bodies outweighs the number of human cells by 10:1.  That’s a lot of bacteria! And they exist for important reasons.
