In this video, Beverley Sarstedt, a UK-based Nutritional Therapist, discusses the following:
● Ideal pH for urine is 6.4-6.7. E. coli-the bacteria which causes a significant amount of bacterial infections-favors an acidic environment.
● The typical western diet is very acidic. Vegetables are alkalizing, so increasing their consumption is very beneficial.
● The microbiome is directly impacted by diet. Increasing vegetables, pulses, nuts, seeds, wholegrains and some fruits is essential. Vitamin D, omega-3 and hydrating also assists.
● Our immune system is 70-80% in our gut so we want to reduce inflammation to support it.
● Simply taking a probiotic supplement isn’t enough. Probiotics need prebiotics to grow.
● Prebiotics are the foods that probiotics need to thrive. Onions, garlic, leeks, artichokes, bananas and apples, and fermented foods, like sauerkraut, kefir, and kombucha, are good prebiotics.
● When selecting a probiotic supplement, it’s essential to choose one that has been proven effective by clinical trials.
● Even people on long term antibiotic protocols can benefit from probiotic supplements and prebiotic eating.
● It’s important to remember that bacteria will go to great lengths to survive. They create biofilm structures to resist antibacterials-both antibiotic and botanical.
● Often, as a result of poor microbiome, people will be suffering from multiple ailments so addressing the root-cause is key.
● Thorough testing helps to define the situation in order to strategically combat the issues.
● Though D-mannose does not increase blood sugar levels due to its low glycemic index, it should be noted that it has only been shown to have promise for infections caused by E. coli.
● Beverley explains the new patient intake protocol she employs at her UK-based virtual clinic, Nourishing Insights, involves collecting a patient history that stretches back from birth. When determining a way forward, everything in the patient’s history is taken into consideration and mental health is also supported.
● Nourishing Insights works with patients globally.
