Inflammation 🔥 Long read but worth it!

The Silent Fire Fuelled by Gut Imbalances, Food Intolerances & Bad Fats
If you struggle with bloating, gut pain, skin issues, fatigue, brain fog, or joint pain, you might have been told you have:
*
✅ IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
✅ IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease – Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis)
✅ Leaky Gut
✅ SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)
✅ Dysbiosis (Imbalanced Gut Bacteria)
✅ Food Intolerances (Dairy, Gluten, FODMAPs, etc.)
*
But have you ever questioned why these issues are happening? Because your gut bacteria and fat balance determine your health far more than you think.
*
🦠 Food Intolerances - The Bacteria Behind the Reactions
Many people believe they’re intolerant to dairy, gluten, or high-FODMAP foods, but in reality, it’s often the gut bacteria struggling to break them down.
*
🚨 Dairy Intolerance Isn’t Always About Lactose!
It’s often about the way modern dairy is processed, ultra-pasteurisation, homogenisation, and A1 casein proteins create inflammatory responses, not the dairy itself. Raw, grass fed dairy can be completely different!
*
🚨 Gluten Sensitivity or a Broken Gut?
Processed grains, glyphosate exposure, and poor gut bacteria create gluten related inflammation, but a well functioning gut with diverse microbiota can often tolerate gluten far better.
*
The real problem? A gut microbiome stripped of diversity, overgrowth of the wrong bacteria, and a diet filled with inflammatory foods.
*
🔥 Inflammatory Fats - The Recipe for Disaster
*
We live in a world where most people’s fatty acid balance is wrecked, thanks to -
❌ Seed oils (sunflower, vegetable, canola, soybean, rapeseed, corn oils)
❌ Ultra-processed foods
❌ Grain-fed animal fats
These pro-inflammatory omega6 fats drive chronic inflammation, gut issues, and skin conditions. They get embedded in your cells for YEARS, making your body a breeding ground for disease.
*
🛠 How Do You Fix It?
The only way to change fatty acid profiles is with fats, it’s pure science 🔬
*
✅ Balance Your Omega6 to Omega3 Ratio (Test, don’t guess 🩸 most people are at a 20:1 ratio when they need to be 3:1 or lower)
*
✅ Prioritise Anti-Inflammatory Fats like MSC-certified marine omega-3s (EPA & DHA), grass-fed butter, extra virgin olive oil, coconut and avocado oil
*
✅ Restore Gut Diversity with prebiotics, probiotics, and post biotics, fixing the bacteria helps you tolerate foods you once thought were the enemy
*
👉 Your body isn’t broken. Your gut bacteria and fats need fixing.

If you’re serious about tackling the root cause, I can help you with testing, targeted support, and the right tools to reduce inflammation and restore gut health.
