Optimize Your Digestion and Prevent Indigestion

It is just as crucial to properly digest your food as it is to select healthy foods to eat. Good digestion allows the food you consume to break down so your body can absorb nutrients, nourish your microbiome (the gut’s microorganisms), separate out wastes and toxins for elimination, produce certain enzymes and nutrients, and fuel your body for biochemical balance. Your gut contains both beneficial and harmful bacteria, and when you’re healthy, the beneficial bacteria dominate. But when you’re sick, harmful bacteria take over. It resembles an ongoing conflict between two opposing armies. Even the healthiest diet may not be able to help your health if you are not digesting food properly. Inflammation, which frequently lies at the root of common gastrointestinal (GI) problems, can be brought on by poor digestion, ineffective nutrition absorption, and imbalances in gut bacteria. As a matter of fact, inflammation is a well-known and extensively researched autoimmune disease cause.

Your entire health will eventually suffer as a result of an unbalanced, ineffective, or inadequate digestive system since your body won’t get the vital nutrients it needs. Making lifestyle and dietary changes as well as taking the appropriate supplements can help with many common digestive issues. There are numerous therapies available through the Skolnikoff Method to help with digestion. Our method concentrates on treating the underlying causes of digestive problems rather than just treating the symptoms. Like a lot of individuals, you might be suffering from toxic overloads, infections, bad eating habits, or mental stress that is severely affecting your digestion.

Real, whole foods are beneficial to everyone, even though dietary needs vary from person to person. Meals with less processing often digest more slowly than meals with more processing, which has an impact on how quickly nutrients are absorbed. Your body absorbs glucose and fatty acids quickly when you eat a lot of refined carbohydrates (like sugars and flours) and altered fats (like refined oils and trans fats like canola or peanut oil). This puts additional stress on your hormone and nutrient regulation systems, including enzymes like insulin and cortisol. Proteins, carbs, and fats are the three macronutrients that are digested at different rates; lipids digest more slowly than proteins or carbs. While some foods might be processed more easily when cooked, high-fiber foods also digest more slowly.

If you have digestive problems, even with a healthy diet, it’s crucial to keep an eye out for foods that give you constant discomfort. You should keep a food journal with your doctor, recording what you eat, when you eat it, and any symptoms you have. After three to four weeks of avoidance, suspect foods should be gradually reintroduced. Better yet, for more specialized and customized digestion remedies, apply the Skolnikoff Method. There’s no guesswork involved with this method; you’ll be able to identify precisely which foods are good for you and which are not.

Four unhealthy eating practices to stay away from

Your digestive tract may become overworked if you overeat during meals.
Eating too fast makes it difficult to chew properly, which puts more strain on your digestive system and decreases its effectiveness.
Your hormone and blood sugar levels are upset when you skip meals, which increases your risk of overeating later. Eating several meals or nibbling throughout the day can support equilibrium. For several months, up to five meals high in protein should be consumed daily by many of our clients in order to maximize their outcomes and control blood sugar levels.

Stress-related eating can have a detrimental effect on your digestive tract, causing disruptions in stress hormones that affect bowel motions, reduced stomach acid production, increased gas and constipation, and more. Irritable bowel syndrome and allergies can even be brought on by stress eating.

Your digestive system is very large—it would fill more than two tennis courts. You will consume thirty to sixty tons of food during your lifetime. People often come to us with complaints of digestive disorders, including diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, and stomach pain. In addition to GI symptoms, digestive imbalances can cause a number of other health issues. The condition of your digestive system affects your whole health.

Let’s listen to a few people who have optimized their digestion and prevented indigestion. Having a great diet is only winning the battle. Understanding your digestive system will win you the war. THE SKOLNIKOFF METHOD will be your guide in winning this war against indigestion.

Relief at Last: Anne-Frans’ Detailed Journey to

Finding an Effective Indigestion Solution

To help Anne-François with her digestion, we gave her several key nutrients. Zymex capsules from Standard Process were given to help her microbiome have the right “soil” for growing the “seeds” to allow her health to flourish. We gave her Okra-Pepsin E3 from Standard Process to help her intestines start to get out the larger macrotoxins that needed to be detoxified. We also gave her GI Adsorb to help get the smaller toxins that needed to be released from her system. GI Adsorb contains a zeolite clay, which really helps with pulling the poisons and toxins out of the gut. It is not really clay… It is more of a mineral compound, but I want you to think of it as clay for explanation purposes. This product can even help with eliminating heavy metals, as the zeolite can bind to the heavy metals. We are living in a toxic world, as Britney Spears has shared with us in her music. Getting these poisons and toxins out of our bodies and out of our environment is crucial.

There is another product that we gave to Anne-Frans called Ligaplex II from Standard Process. This product was designed to help her keep her energy up while her body was detoxifying.

Zymex Capsules: her dosage was to chew 11 upon waking and 11 before bed.

Okra Pepsin E3—her dosage was to take 6 with breakfast, 6 with lunch, and 6 with dinner.

GI Adsorb: We had her take 3 pills 15 minutes before breakfast, 3 pills 15 minutes before lunch, and 3 pills 15 minutes before dinner.

Watch Cathy Transform Her Digestive Health and Achieve Proper Bowel Movements with Dr. Ilya

For Cathy, we really made a big difference with the nutritional supplements we gave her. We gave her Thytrophin PMG from Standard Process to help her thyroid function better. We also gave her Milk Thistle Forte and Globe Artichoke 1:2 from MediHerb.

Thytrophin PMG: We had her chew 4 upon waking and 3 with lunch. Thytrophin PMG is the mineral extract from thyroid glandular substances. The protomorphogen extracts are perfect for a chronically stressed organ and/or gland. They really help the organ or gland to rebuild itself with all of the mineral co-factors needed to rebuild that organ or gland. Standard Process is the only company that makes protomorphogen products.

Milk Thistle Forte: Cathy took 6 with breakfast, 3 with lunch, and 6 with dinner. Milk Thistle Forte helps to detoxify the blood, and it helps with a healthy liver and gallbladder. It is great for people who experience regular headaches.

Globe Artichoke 1:2: Cathy took 5 mL with breakfast, 5 mL with lunch, and 5 mL with dinner. She was told to put the Globe Artichoke 1:2 in hot, boiling water in a coffee mug and to drink it as tea. This product helps with healthy bowel movements and with gallbladder and liver health.
