Enhance your gut health with hyperbaric oxygenation

Thu, May 02, 2024

Our gut plays a crucial role in keeping our immune system strong. Picture it as a gatekeeper: it lets good stuff in, like nutrients from our food, while keeping out the bad stuff, like harmful germs or toxins. But when this gatekeeper isn't working properly, it can let in things that trigger our immune system, leading to inflammation. This inflammation doesn't just stay in the gut – it can spread throughout the body, causing issues like autoimmune diseases, and has even been linked to diseases like Alzheimer’s.

One key to a healthy gut is its barrier. Think of it as a sturdy wall lining our intestines. When this wall gets weak or damaged, it's like having holes in a fence – stuff can sneak through where it shouldn't, setting off alarms in our immune system and causing problems. This is why conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis can have such a big impact on our health and quality of life.

Brain injuries, regardless of their perceived severity, can initiate a chain of cognitive challenges that endure over time.
