Your gut is often called your "second brain" for good reason! The trillions of bacteria living in your digestive system, known as your microbiome, influence everything from your mood and immunity to your skin health and weight. A happy gut often means a happy you.

Signs of a healthy gut:

- Regular bowel movements

- Strong immune system

- Clearer skin

- Stable mood and energy levels

Quick Tip: Start with one small change, like adding fermented foods (yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut) to your diet or drinking more water. Small steps lead to big results!

Inflammaging is a term for the low-grade, persistent inflammation that accumulates in your body over the years, often without noticeable symptoms. This chronic internal "fire" can quietly accelerate the aging process and contribute to age-related health issues.

The exciting news? You don't have to wait for symptoms to appear. You can proactively assess this underlying inflammation.

How to Measure Inflammaging

Standard physicals often miss key indicators of inflammaging. To get a clearer picture of your inflammatory status, consider testing and tracking markers like hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) and homocysteine. These aren't typically part of routine blood work, but they offer valuable insights into your body's inflammatory load.

By understanding and addressing inflammaging, you gain a powerful tool in influencing your future health and the pace at which you age. You truly have a say in your aging process.

Let's dive deeper into these mighty mitochondria – they're the tiny energy factories in almost every single cell of your body! When they're not running efficiently, you feel it everywhere: persistent fatigue, muscle weakness, and yes, that frustrating brain fog and even trouble with memory. They're critical for everything from exercise performance to a robust immune system. So, what can make your mitochondria struggle? Things like chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies (think B vitamins, magnesium, CoQ10!), hidden infections, environmental toxins, and a diet packed with processed foods and sugar can all 'gum up' the works. That's exactly why at Core Wellness Functional Medicine, we don't just guess; we use advanced diagnostic testing, like looking at organic acids, to see how your mitochondria are truly performing and pinpoint exactly what they need. The good news? You can absolutely support them! Simple steps include eating a nutrient-dense, whole-foods diet (colorful veggies, healthy fats are key!), getting regular movement (even a daily walk helps!), effectively managing stress, and prioritizing quality sleep. For some, specific supplements can make a big difference, but we always personalize those recommendations based on your unique test results. We look at the whole picture – your diet, your environment, your lifestyle – to get those energy factories firing on all cylinders again!

Did you know there are trillions of tiny bacteria living in your gut? These "good guys" called probiotics help with digestion, immunity, and even mood! While the exact composition can vary between individuals, several bacterial phyla consistently dominate the human gut. Here are two examples: Firmicutes: This phylum typically comprises the largest proportion of gut bacteria, ranging from 50 to 80% of the total population. They play a crucial role in various functions, including carbohydrate fermentation, short-chain fatty acid production, and energy harvesting. Examples of common Firmicutes include Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Clostridium. Bacteroidetes: This phylum generally makes up the second-most abundant group, accounting for 20 to 30% of gut bacteria. They are known for their ability to degrade complex carbohydrates and contribute to gut barrier function. Examples of common Bacteroidetes include Bacteroides, Prevotella, and Parabacteroides. It's important to remember that these are just general ranges, and the specific composition of an individual's gut microbiota can vary significantly depending on various factors like diet, age, environment, and genetics.
