Digestive Enzymes + Nutrition Support Group = Better Digestion

If you’ve been around the Marian Hope nutrition blogging you know that I believe that digestion is one of the primary components to good health. Everything depends on digestion and every single system in our body is affected by digestion. That’s why I often focus on food, supplements, and lifestyle changes that aid digestion.

One powerful weapon in the digestion arsenal is digestive enzymes. Our bodies make enzymes starting from the thought of food, all the way through the whole digestive process. However many different conditions including inflammation, leaky gut, food sensitivities, emotional stress, and environmental stress can affect the body’s ability to make enough enzymes to get the job done.

That’s where supplemental digestive enzymes can be a major player in digestive health. There are various, trustworthy companies making potent and effective digestive enzymes. I happen to be most familiar with Enzymedica brand which conveniently enough is easy to pick up right down the road at Nature’s Pantry.

You have the opportunity to learn more about how digestive enzymes can play a roll in all diagnosis along the autism spectrum, food sensitivities, memory, blood sugar control, and even weight loss by coming to the Nutrition Support Management Group at Marian Hope Center on the first Wednesday of each month at 6:30 pm. The next two months (August 6 and September 3) I will be answering questions regarding enzyme use and will have lots of information to send home with you including ways to take home books and samples of enzymes.

Join us to learn more at this free place of support for improving the diet of your family offered by Marian Hope Center each month.  I look forward to seeing you there!
