“I was asked a interesting question by a lady once a few years back now:
This top lady said: “If someone is in training with you for general fitness (not competition) and they have a digestive complaint such as IBS, What would you recommend?”
First and foremost, it was a great question and a point I wanted to share to point out some areas to consider from experience, knowledge and somewhat more.
My grandad always said to me…
“To share is to learn Matt.”
2 years ago I worked with a guy at the top end of his 30s who had been challenged with IBS since an early age. That year he not only transformed his physique yet his health, nutrition and digestion went from strength to strength.
He had struggled with his digestion for years often in crippling & cramping pain from the digestive issue for many of hour.
We were developing his physique and fitness through a body transformation and as I work from being taught through the advanced and deeper structure of nutrition, health, functional medicine and physique development throughout the years of my career to date…
I say “Can you imagine a car dashboard?”
People often say “Yes…”
“If there are lights on a car dashboard that flag red then something’s due to flag up a problem and requires the car garage..Right?”
Similar in the field of health, medicine and physique development, psychology… symptoms flag. we must address with knowledge, strategy and the foundations must prevail.
Cause from knowledge red flats are often a sign of making a few considerations.
Some of these often flag….
– High stress
– Poor rest & recovery
– Fatigue
– Prolonged poor food choices
– Poor lifestyle effects
– Bacterial infections
– Over sensitive colon
– Over sensitive immune systems often compromised with autoimmune diseases and underlying issues.
-Poor Nutritional Variation
Interventions to consider and support with the complexity of the health issue…
– Good Nutrition Intervention
-Nutritional Variety
– Hydration
– Natural medicinal supplements
– Quality sleep
– Rest and recovery
– A conscious focus on digestion.
– Structured Exercise Programming
There where a number of flags when this lad come to me.
I looked into it with an eagle eye, we structured the nutrition and functional medicinal work around this, to lay the foundations of our work first.
Like with a house 🏠 you can’t build a house on poor foundations it will always fall down…
We proceeded and the words on the lads lips 4-6 weeks down the line was…
“You have helped me to manage a overhanging problem Iv had for many years with IBS. Thank you.”
The transformation was not only an incredible one in natural physique & fitness yet that of a very healthy one in nutrition, lifestyle and just the medicine that did its work for the bloke.
Remember IBS is a complex digestive issue yet can be managed very effectively from know how, laying quality health foundations, nutrition, exercise, recovery cycles and functional medicinal intervention.
If it helps, it helps.
