Rebalancing your gut while pregnant and breastfeeding is a topic that tends to be quite controversial. There is a narrative that says how dangerous it is to cleanse while pregnant and breastfeeding but a whole side that no one talks about is how dangerous it is to have parasites, an overgrowth of bad bacteria, pathogens, and yeast in your body while growing and nourishing a baby.
In the early 1900s, 1 in 100 women experienced depression in their lifetime. Today it is 1 in 4. 1 in 2 children have a chronic disease today. Half of children! How can this be accepted and here we are being told that taking gentle measures to heal our body is “too dangerous”. This narrative needs to change and as the leaders of our own lives and our family’s, we have to be the ones to change it.
Studies have shown that children with autism have significantly fewer good bacteria strains in their gut than children who do not have autism. 1 in 36 children in the United States were diagnosed with autism in 2023. This is an increase of 312% since 2000. The rise in chronic disease and overall sickness—we are being failed.
Why are we not being educated on the significance of our gut health and how it is at the core of human well-being? I am not sure, but we are governed by a sick care system and a profit-driven pharmaceutical industry that focuses on treating symptoms rather than addressing the underlying causes and actually healing the human body.
