Gut Health and Nutrient Absorption

Well, how do we object to my health? I mean, we look at you got to look at things like we've got two different gut gut questionnaires we give people. Right. And the reason we do it's like a personality test. Sometimes they mark something zero on one, but then they click a yes on the other. So we we like to have things that kind of check some balances against themselves. So if their guts wrecked, they're bloating, gassy, you know, that they if they take a crap and it's peeling paint off the walls, you know, if they have burning in their stomach. We want to look at all that stuff first because you're not going to grow if you're not getting the food into your body. And people tend to think that just because you swallow food that it's in your body, but it's not. That alimentary canal that runs from your mouth to your anus has a protective barrier and not everything you eat will get in your body. So it's really important from a growth perspective that if you want to be in a surplus, eating 4,000 calories doesn't mean you're in a surplus if you're just pooping it out or if your bacteria is eating it and you're not actually getting it in you. So we want to clean up all that type of stuff. And we also want to see where your stress is. So if we look at a good HRV number, if we look at blood pressure, we can get a pretty good and heart rate, resting heart rate, we can get a pretty good idea of where's this person, where's their autonomic tone? Are they too sympathetic? Because if they are, that's not great for building muscle because you don't, you're stimulating muscle protein breakdown when you train, but then you have to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. And if you're always catabolic because you're in a fight or flight pattern, your body never rests. You don't sleep well. You don't recover well. You can't train well. Your motivation is not there. And your compliance for meal prep isn't going to be great. How much are you looking at like blood markers and urine markers and stool? Do you ever look at those with clients or is that just kind of beyond the scope? Only when there's a pathological reason. So if we have somebody with Hashimoto's, if we have somebody with diabetes, then I'll take a look at that stuff. And if it's stuff that's easy to fix that we can work with their doctor on, then we'll send some letter to the doctor and work with them on that stuff. If it stuff that outside of my scope then I refer them to a dietician and make sure that we getting everything signed off of what we doing so that we don step out of our box and do something that going to be harmful to the client Yeah
