Underlying most digestive disorders is disruption of the fundamental cornerstones of a healthy gut – good digestion, a diverse and healthy gut microbiota, good gut wall integrity, an absence of gut inflammation and food intolerances and good elimination.

Most digestive problems are a consequence of one or more of the following issues:

• Poor digestion (irritation, intoxication, lack of enzymes, lack of stomach acid)
• Poor absorption (increased gut permeability)
• Poor protection (dysbiosis, over inflammation, food intolerances)
• Poor elimination (clogged up colon, liver detoxification problems)

How to Implement Change

Today’s Challenge: Read the Report Six Steps to Digestive Health in your Library to find out which might apply to your child and make changes to transform your digestion.

💬 Encouragement for Parents:

You don’t have to change everything at once! Start small—maybe it’s improving hydration, adding probiotics, or reducing irritating foods. Every step you take strengthens your child’s gut and brain.
