How To Improve Your Gut Microbiome With Integrative Medicine
An integrative medicine doctor, Dr Jaimini Raniga, can show you a new, holistic way forward when it comes to how to improve your gut microbiome.
By taking a whole-person view supported by integrative and functional medicine approaches, Dr Raniga examines not only the gut issues and symptoms you may be experiencing, but also wider lifestyle factors that may have been previously overlooked—these include diet, nutrition, exercise, lifestyle, and mental health factors.
What is your gut microbiome?
Your gut microbiome is made up of microorganisms such as bacteria that live in your gut. Unsurprisingly, the condition of your gut microbiome is critical to your overall health and wellbeing.
How to improve your gut health
Diet and food choice are key factors here—incorporating probiotics and prebiotics is often the way to go. In a similar vein, limiting the use of antibiotics is also helpful as these can disrupt gut health.
Dr Jaimini can’t emphasise enough how important regular exercise is. Increasing your mobility is a great way to support a healthier gut and receive numerous other fitness and wellbeing benefits.
High stress can also negatively impact your gut microbiome, so reducing or finding ways to better manage stress—such as through exercise!—go a long way to improving the quality of your gut health.
Ensuring you get a good night’s sleep or a better standard of sleep also help to manage stress while allowing your gut to recharge, repair, and renew.
Dr Jaimini guides you on your health transformation journey so you can be the best version of you, and can connect you with trusted professionals such as nutritionists and personal trainers if required.
