Wellness Movement- Dr. Chris Jones

🧠 Have you heard of “Leaky Gut”?

It might sound strange, but it’s a real condition that could be at the root of many health issues 😳

Leaky Gut Syndrome, or increased intestinal permeability, happens when the walls of your intestines become too permeable, allowing undigested food particles and toxins to leak into your bloodstream

This triggers an immune response that can cause inflammation and other problems throughout your body

Maintaining a healthy gut is crucial to avoid this condition and the many complications it can lead to ⤵️

Some of the symptoms associated with Leaky Gut include:

•Asthma
•Autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, brain fog, chronic fatigue,
•Digestive problems like bloating, constipation, diarrhea, gas, indigestion, IBS
•Mood disorders like anxiety and depression
•Skin problems like acne, eczema, and rosacea

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it might be time to take a closer look at your gut health

Do yourself a favor and test, don’t guess!

Let’s talk about how we can support your wellness journey!

Let’s break them down!

I believe in getting to the root of your health issues, not just treating symptoms

That’s why I offer three types of comprehensive testing that go beyond the basics to uncover the underlying causes of your health challenges:

•Extensive Blood Panel: This isn’t your standard test

—> We cover 67 markers to get a full picture of your health, helping to identify imbalances that could be affecting everything from your energy levels to your mental clarity

•GI Map Test (aka the “p**p test”):
Your gut health is crucial to your overall well-being

—> This test provides detailed insights into your gut microbiome, revealing hidden causes of digestive issues, chronic fatigue, and even autoimmune conditions

•Viome: For those looking to optimize their health, Viome offers personalized insights into your diet and lifestyle, helping you make informed choices that promote long-term wellness

These tests have led to life-changing results for my patients

If you’re tired of feeling like something’s just not right, let’s dig deeper!

Your journey to better health starts with understanding what’s really going on inside your body

Ready to uncover the truth? Content “Test” below, and let’s get started!

Have you gotten relief from your chronic fatigue?

Feeling exhausted all the time isn’t just “getting older” or “being busy”

There could be underlying issues that your regular doctor might be missing…

Here are four hidden reasons for chronic fatigue that often go unchecked:

1. Iron Anemia or Iron Deficiency – Low iron levels can leave you feeling drained and weak😮‍💨

2. Autoimmune Thyroiditis – An underactive thyroid might be behind your low energy levels 🥱

3. Adrenal Fatigue – Stress can take a toll on your adrenal glands, leading to constant fatigue 😴

4. The Gut-Brain Axis – An imbalanced gut can directly affect your energy and mood 🧠

If you’re tired of being tired, it’s time to dig deeper!

Don’t let chronic fatigue steal your quality of life

Let’s find the root cause and get you back to feeling your best

It’s like having a team of bodyguards protecting you from illness

To stay strong and fight off sickness, you need to take care of your gut🍏

Your gut also plays a crucial role in absorbing nutrients from your food

A healthy gut means better absorption of vitamins and minerals, leading to more energy and overall well-being

An unhealthy gut, often due to processed foods, can leave you overfed but undernourished

Leaky Gut Syndrome can further complicate things, leading to inflammation and a host of health issues like digestive problems, fatigue, and skin issues. 🥴

Start by tuning into your body, eliminating trigger foods, nourishing with wholesome ingredients, and focusing on exercise and quality sleep

Your gut health is key to feeling your best! 🌟 

It’s time to listen to those messages! 

Unwanted symptoms like joint pain, fatigue, brain fog, and digestive disturbances are your body’s way of sending you a message. 

Think about it like this: 

How do you know not to sear your hand on a heated stove? 

Your body gives you a pain signal that says, ‘stop doing that.’ Feelings of pain and discomfort, while not pleasant, are your body’s way of communicating with you and protecting you.

Just like you pull your hand away from a hot stove, these symptoms are signals that something isn’t right.

This is why my motto is ‘Test, don’t guess’ 

Understanding the root cause of your symptoms is the first step toward true healing

Instead of masking the symptoms, let’s find out what’s really going on.

🌟 Struggling with weight loss? 🌟

It’s not just about counting calories. 

If you’ve been asking, “Why can’t I lose weight?” despite making changes, it might be time to look deeper

Often, the root causes of stubborn weight are overlooked

Let’s explore three key areas that could be holding you back:

Balanced Blood Sugar: High insulin levels from excess sugar can halt fat burning and lead to weight gain. Stabilizing blood sugar is crucial for effortless weight loss.

Healthy Gut Function: Poor gut health can impair glucose tolerance and contribute to weight gain. Healing your gut may be the missing piece in your weight loss journey.

Remove Inflammatory Trigger Foods: Processed carbs, sugary foods, and even certain “healthy” foods can fuel inflammation and disrupt gut health, making weight loss challenging.

If you’re ready to get to the root of the issue and transform your health, let’s chat! 

My “test, don’t guess” approach could be the key to unlocking your weight loss success🌱💪 

Did you know your gut health can directly impact your skin?

The gut plays a vital role in regulating your immune system, and imbalances can release pro-inflammatory cytokines that trigger skin reactions. 

If you’re experiencing persistent skin issues, it might be time to look beyond the surface and address the root cause

Let’s work together to uncover the link between your gut and skin for a healthier, clearer complexion.

Functional wellness always asks ‘why?’

This means uncovering the underlying root problems causing your symptoms. 

Your body’s symptoms are like a ‘check engine light’—they’re signals that something needs attention. 

Don’t ignore them.

Masking symptoms doesn’t fix the problem. 

Running thorough specialty lab tests can help identify underlying metabolic imbalances like:

✅ Nutrient deficiencies
✅ Sources of inflammation
✅ Immune system imbalances

A GI Map stool test is one such specialty test that provides detailed insights into your gut microbiome. 

It’s the GOLD STANDARD stool test for gut health.

Let’s get to the root of the issue for real healing.

Normal labs don’t always mean you’re healthy.

If you’re dealing with chronic fatigue, severe bloating, or alternating hard/loose stools, a ‘normal’ result on standard blood tests (CMP) shouldn’t be the end of your search for answers.

Too often, these basic tests barely scratch the surface. Don’t let repetitive ‘normal’ labs prevent you from uncovering the real issues.

Dive deeper with comprehensive testing. Find a practitioner skilled in specialty lab tests to identify root causes and develop the best action plan for your health.

Let’s move beyond the basics and find true health solutions.

Talk about immediate results!

This is why it is not uncommon for my clients to see results within 30 days!

The gut replaces itself every 3-5 days under optimal healthy conditions

This means what you eat can have an immediate effect on your gut’s immune system. 🍎🥦

In functional wellness, we emphasize the importance of nourishing your body with the right foods to support gut health and overall well-being

If you’re ready to transform your health from the inside out, let’s start with your gut!

Feeling overwhelmed looking at changing your lifestyle to functional wellness?

Check it out ⤵️

Navigating a functional wellness lifestyle can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to figuring out what to eat

You can google it
You can go on Pinterest for recipes
You can get recommendations from influencers on social media

Etc. etc. etc.

But one thing that those options don’t have is a guide that tells you EXACTLY what food you should be eating

Sure, you could get some good inspiration & recipes

But the question still remains of “is this what my body needs to help fix underlying root problems and exactly what I need to be eating for my body?”

That’s why I’ve created this sneak peak of what it would be like to be in one of my wellness program

Can anyone else relate? ❤ if so.

I was young and had blind faith. 

Plus, the antibiotics were the only thing that helped my severe acne, so I kept taking them...for over 4 years.

I had no idea what the long-term use was doing to my GI until my late 20’s

I ended up with lots more GI issues

Thankfully, I was able to correct them with the help of a GI Map stool test

I had the GI symptoms, but simply taking probiotics wasn’t cutting it

I ended up finding multiple bacterial overgrowths (aka pretty intense SIBO)

I applied the 4 R protocol and thankfully everything has been mostly restored, and my GI and skin are in much better shape

Head to the link in my bio to find out if this approach is right for you.

You need to be asking yourself “what is my poo trying to tell me?”

I get it it’s odd, but..

A GI Map stool test gives great insight into the GI environment 

It’s one thing to see anatomy (endoscopy) but stool testing can help gauge the health or lack thereof in the microbiome 

Nobody likes to talk about their bathroom problems

In fact, there is a lot of shyness and shame surrounding all things p**p related

Here’s the thing: Having potty problems is one of the clearest signs that something is off in your body

It’s a signal that deserves to be listened to and addressed

Your p**p is talking to you.

Every single day. 

And you’d be wise to listen.

You won’t believe this ⤵️

When your thyroid isn’t working well, it can throw off your metabolism, digestion, s*x drive, mood, and immune system

Symptoms of thyroid disorders are often misdiagnosed as “signs of aging.”

Unfortunately, underlying thyroid problems don’t show up on typical lab work that conventional doctors usually run.

As a result, many thyroid conditions go undiagnosed. So how do you really know if you have a thyroid imbalance?

With access to the newest breakthroughs in medical testing, more extensive lab work is now available to give you a fuller picture of how your thyroid is working.

Managing Hashimoto’s with Diet ⤵️

5 Essential Tips 🌿

•Avoid Gluten: Gluten is an irritant for many, especially those with Hashimoto’s

•Avoid Processed Foods: Steer clear of foods with additives and preservatives

•Eat Healthy Fats: High-quality fats are nourishing, anti-inflammatory, and help you stay fuller longer

•Avoid Dairy: Dairy is a known irritant and can cause inflammation for many with autoimmune conditions

•Avoid Processed Sugar, Soy, and Fried Foods: Reducing these foods will calm inflammation and help keep symptoms under control

For many, a Hashimoto’s diagnosis can bring a feeling of hopelessness

While there is no cure, there is a path toward symptom management and remission!

Two of my close family members have effectively managed their symptoms through diet and lifestyle changes, creating a high quality of life ✨

If you’re dealing with Hashimoto’s, I invite you to set up a free consultation to learn more about my diet and lifestyle program specifically designed for this condition

Let’s work together!

Only one way to find out—test, don’t guess! 🩺

What do you do when you begin to notice that you are forgetting things often?

When you can’t seem to concentrate at work?

When you feel irritable and then emotional for no apparent reason?

When your brain feels like it is covered in a thick layer of fog?

When you feel unexplainable depression and lack of motivation?

Admitting that you are dealing with these symptoms can be a scary thing...

What does this mean about me? Do I have psychological problems?

What if I told you that your brain fog, mood swings, forgetfulness, and lack of motivation and ability to concentrate could be caused by a problem in your gut?

Maybe when you hear the words “gut health,” you think about digestive issues, the microbiome, or toilet troubles 💩

These are typically the things that most people think of when the subject of gut health arises

But there is another very significant aspect of gut health that science and research are just beginning to scratch the surface of understanding

And that is the undeniable link between the gut and the brain🧠

For many of my clients, improving cognitive function, mood, energy levels, and productivity is the most valuable improvement they make during our time working together
