Your Gut is Talking — Are You Listening?

Jul 18

Let’s talk about something that affects nearly every part of your health but rarely gets the spotlight it deserves: your gut.

The gut does more than digest food — it supports your immune system, impacts your mood, influences inflammation, and even plays a role in your skin, hormones, and sleep. It’s often called the “second brain” for a reason.

🧠 Why Gut Health Matters

70–80% of your immune system lives in your gut
Your gut helps produce neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine
An unbalanced gut can lead to fatigue, food sensitivities, anxiety, breakouts, and more
It’s often the root of what we call “mystery symptoms”

🧪 What We Test (and Why)

At aNew Health, we offer comprehensive gut testing to uncover things like:

Yeast or bacterial overgrowth
Parasites or pathogens
Inflammation markers
Imbalances in healthy flora
Digestive insufficiencies

We don’t guess — we test. Then we use personalized protocols to restore balance, reduce inflammation, and help your gut heal at the root.
