According to Robertson-Moe, the foods we eat affect the composition of the bacteria in our gut, or the microbiome, which then affects our immune cell function and production. So, the phrase “you are what you eat” can be taken quite literally. However, it’s not always clear what foods we should and should not be eating. So, for more easy ways to support your digestive health, Robertson-Moe recommends the following tips:
1. Take a supplement with key prebiotics such as GI Stability™ (https://www.standardprocess.com/products/gi-stability) from Standard Process. It supports the GI tract by delivering 2′-FL, a prebiotic first identified in human milk, that is able to reach the lower GI tract where it is broken down to feed the growth of beneficial microbes.*^
2. Adding fermented foods to your diet can support the microbiome. Fermented foods contain live probiotic bacteria that can benefit the microbiome by supporting the diversity of your gut bacteria. The process of fermentation can also make foods easier to digest. If you want to support your gut and immune function, try incorporating fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, yogurt and kefir.
3. Reducing stress is key to good gut health. Stress may negatively impact digestion, increase gut permeability, and alter the composition of the gut bacteria. A nutrient rich diet combined with regular exercise, meditation and breathwork is a great way to reduce stress and support good gut health.
Our guts have the essential job of making sure any toxins or particles that aren’t supposed to pass through the intestinal lining don’t. These toxins may cause inflammation, pain and food sensitivities; that’s why it’s important to prioritize our digestive system health and promote a healthy gut microbiome, which in turn supports a healthy immune system response. So go with your gut if you’re looking to improve your overall health.

Awareness Week Provides Opportunity to Educate About Balance Issues, Which Affect 37 Million Adults Domestically
ROCKVILLE, Md., Sept. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — With close to 16% of U.S. adults reporting balance issues of some kind, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is urging the public to learn more about dizziness, vertigo, and other balance disorders during Balance Awareness Week, September 17–23, 2023.
“Everyone experiences dizziness occasionally, but for some people, dizziness, vertigo, and other symptoms may persist—creating a significant quality-of-life issue as well as a safety hazard,” said Robert Augustine, PhD, CCC-SLP, 2023 ASHA President. “Balance problems can affect our ability to drive, work, socialize, and participate in just about any daily activity. Also, they put people at greater risk of falls, a leading cause of injury, hospitalization, and even death in older adults.”
Balance Awareness Week was founded by the Vestibular Disorders Association (VeDA) in 1997. During this week, VeDA and its partner organizations—including ASHA—seek to raise visibility of balance issues and encourage the public to get help for such problems.
Symptoms and Causes
The brain maintains balance by using information from eyes, the inner ear (vestibular system), and the sensory systems of the body (such as the skin, muscles, and joints). Problems with any one of these body parts can result in vertigo, dizziness, and/or unsteadiness. In addition, some medications can contribute to dizziness or imbalance, so it is important to discuss this with your primary care physician.
Treating hearing loss is an important aspect of reducing the risk of balance issues in the broader adult population. [Half of U.S. adults ages 75 and older have disabling hearing loss, but fewer than one in three people over age 70 who could benefit from wearing hearing aids have ever tried them.
Testing and Treatment
Anyone experiencing symptoms such as blurred vision, sudden hearing loss, falls or problems walking, or weakness in the arms and legs should see a doctor immediately. Based on symptoms, a physician may refer a person for balance testing by an audiologist. The purpose of balance testing is to evaluate a person’s eyes, vestibular system, and sensory systems—to identify the root cause of a person’s balance problems. Based on this information, an audiologist can make recommendations for treatment.
Sometimes, balance problems require surgery or medication. Some people benefit from balance treatment called vestibular rehabilitation, an individualized balance-retraining exercise program. The goals are to decrease dizziness and to improve balance, functional activities, and quality of life. Many audiologists can provide this training. Other clinicians such as physical therapists and occupational therapists are trained to provide more extensive rehabilitation as well as fall-risk prevention.

About the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA)
ASHA is the national professional, scientific, and credentialing association for 228,000 members and affiliates who are audiologists; speech-language pathologists; speech, language, and hearing scientists; audiology and speech-language pathology assistants; and students. Audiologists specialize in preventing and assessing hearing and balance disorders as well as providing audiologic treatment, including hearing aids. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) identify, assess, and treat speech, language, and swallowing disorders. http://www.asha.org

This award highlights their dedication to providing high-quality integrative care. Acubalance has consistently earned this distinction for its Acupuncture and Naturopathic clinic for 18 years. They are renowned for their innovative approach to fertility treatment, including pioneering on-site acupuncture for IVF in Vancouver British Columbia. Additionally, they are the first clinic in the province to introduce Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for fertility, offering promising results for age-related reproductive issues, pain, and injury. Acubalance Wellness Centre is internationally recognized for its comprehensive approach to natural fertility treatment, addressing various health concerns, including infertility, pregnancy support, fatigue, anxiety, digestive problems, hormonal imbalances, and weight management through Chinese medicine, acupuncture, naturopathy, and functional medicine.
VANCOUVER, BC , Sept. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Acubalance Wellness Centre is proud to announce that they have been voted in the Best of Naturopath and Acupuncture Clinic in Vancouver in the Georgia Straight Best of Vancouver Awards 2023.
We are so proud to have received this BOV Award as it recognizes the level of integrative care we strive to provide for our patients.

Our practitioners are highly trained and dedicated to providing the best patient experience and outcomes.
Acubalance has been renowned for a number of firsts in natural fertility care.
