Probiotics

We know that sometimes what we need for bacterial infections is a course of antibiotics.

However, we can still look after our gut microbiome (bacteria) both during and after a course of antibiotics by taking probiotics.
Sadly, antibiotics don’t only kill off the harmful bacteria; they kill off the good stuff too, which negatively impacts the gut microbiome.

We need a balanced microbiome in the gut because it is responsible for keeping you healthy and has many tasks including: helping digestion, nutrient production, immune response and good mental health.

You might be wondering, won’t the antibiotics kill off the probiotics as well?

It’s true that they may kill off some of the probiotics, but on the whole, taking them does reduce the negative side effects of antibiotics.

There are many strains of probiotic out there and each has a different purpose and effect on the body. For example, Lactobacillus rhamnosus is good for antibiotic related diarrhoea.

One of the probiotics that we find tests well with clients is Saccharomyces Boulardii. The other benefit with this probiotic is that it doesn’t need to be kept in the fridge. In individual cases, we would use muscle testing to confirm exactly which probiotic the body needs and for how long but if you were to take Saccharomyces Boulardii during your course of antibiotics and for at least a month afterwards, you wouldn’t be going far wrong!

You could also increase your probiotic intake through nutrition like:
🤩Kombucha
🤩Yogurt
🤩Kimchi
🤩Sauerkraut (refrigerated type as it will contain the live cultures you need)
🤩Kefir
🤩Pickles (again, refrigerated is best)

As an additional note, staying on the same probiotic for too long, may also cause issues. Therefore, if you need to take probiotics for longer than three or four months, we recommend changing both the strain and brand of probiotic to maintain gut wellness.

Using muscle testing and alignment techniques to improve physical function.

20/11/2024

Muscle testing therapy, also known as applied kinesiology (AK) or manual muscle testing (MMT), is an alternative medicine practice that evaluates the nervous system's control over muscles to identify imbalances or stressors in the body.
During a muscle test, a practitioner applies gentle pressure to a muscle or group of muscles while the patient resists in a specific direction. The muscle's response to the pressure determines whether it's considered "strong" or "weak". A "strong" muscle locks against pressure, while a "weak" muscle unlocks or has trouble resisting.
Muscle testing is based on the idea that the body's muscles are connected to organs and systems through the nervous system. A weak muscle test may indicate a chemical or structural imbalance, mental stress, or dysfunction.
Muscle testing can be used to: Determine the state of organs and organ systems, Evaluate nutritional status, Detect imbalances in the meridians and chakras, and Identify chemical sensitivities and "allergies.
