100. Healing Yourself from the Inside Out | Hally Brooke

Are you dealing with digestive issues, skin problems, or even autoimmune diseases? Well, it turns out that the key to solving these problems might lie in your gut. In this episode of "The Code," Dr. Andrew Fix interviews Hally Brooke, the founder and CEO of Live Nourished, a functional medicine and nutrition counseling organization. Hally shares her personal journey of overcoming gut health issues and explains how the gut is connected to everything from skin health to mental well-being.

Hally outlines a five-step gut healing protocol that includes removing problematic foods, repairing the gut lining, re-inoculating with good bacteria, rebalancing the gut, and eventually reintroducing certain foods. She emphasizes the importance of taking the time to heal and build resilience, rather than just treating symptoms.

Key Takeaways:

• Gut health is crucial for overall health and wellness, as the gut is connected to various bodily functions and systems.

• Symptoms of gut health issues can range from digestive problems like gas, bloating, and diarrhea to skin issues, respiratory problems, and even autoimmune diseases.

• Healing the gut requires a comprehensive approach, including removing problematic foods, repairing the gut lining, re-inoculating with beneficial bacteria, rebalancing the body, and reintroducing foods in a controlled manner.

• Food choices should be based on four categories: calories, information, medicine, and connection. Moderation is key, but certain foods like artificial sweeteners, food coloring, and seed oils should be avoided.

• The gut-brain connection is significant, with the gut being referred to as the "second brain." Gut health can impact mental health, and issues like anxiety and depression may be linked to gut imbalances.
