Gut Issues

And you can’t have healthy core muscles without a healthy gut. Your core muscles and gut are intimately connected to each other and greatly impact one another. With the prevalence of gut issues today, it is so important to understand that in order to truly heal the gut and optimize gut health long term, it’s crucial to ensure optimal core muscle function. Yes, a nutritious diet, good hydration and stress management are huge factors at play when we consider gut health, but so is the function of your core muscles! And no one ever talks about this. Unfortunately, it often gets overlooked or isn’t even addressed at all. So, if you’re someone who’s tried it all, but still experiences problems with your gut, this may be the missing piece to the puzzle that will allow you to resolve your gut issues once and for all.

Your core muscles manage the pressure in your abdomen and therefore control the position of your organs. Each of your organs (your stomach, spleen, pancreas, liver, intestines, bladder, bowel and uterus) all have an ideal position in your abdomen to receive optimal blood, lymph and nerve flow. 

When the core muscles are dysfunctional, the organs often fall out of their best position, and their blood, lymph, and nerve flow is decreased. This leads to reduced functioning of the organ itself which can lead to an array of gut issues. This is why oftentimes a healthy diet, proper hydration, and stress management aren’t enough to truly resolve gut issues for good.

Incorporating hypopressive training, self abdominal massage, practicing certain breathing patterns, implementing proper bowel and bladder hygiene, correcting your posture, releasing trigger points in your core are all ways to address symptoms and optimize gut health. 

The Core Recovery Method® online program teaches you these techniques, which all ultimately help to realign your organs so they can receive the proper blood/lymph/nerve flow they require for optimal detoxification and function. Realigning your organs leads to digestive ease and regularity, optimal nutrient absorption, a smaller waistline, a stronger more toned core, and can result in long term resolution to chronic gut symptoms.

Yes! Bloating is significantly impacted by core muscle dysfunction and the position of your organs. One of the most important functions of your core muscles is to keep your organs in their optimal position to receive proper blood, lymph and nerve flow. If the core muscles are dysfunctional, then they fail to keep your organs in their optimal position, and the result is inflammation and stagnation in the organs, and intestines that cant move food through properly, and increased pressure in the abdomen. This is essentially known as bloating. The Core Recovery Method® uses Hypopressive training (and a variety of other proven techniques) to treat the root cause of bloating. Hypopressive training is the best exercise for bloating and digestive issues because it trains your core muscles to keep your organs in their best position, reduces the pressure in your abdomen and detoxifies your organs. If you struggle with bloating, of any severity, The Core Recovery Method® is for you!

Yes! Laxatives weaken the intestines. The intestines are actually muscles that use a contract-relax pattern known as peristalsis to move food through. Chronic laxative use makes it so that peristalsis does not have to occur as much in order to have a bowel movement. So the key to decreasing the reliance on laxatives to have a bowel movement is actually strengthening the muscles of the intestines! Since we don't have voluntary control over our intestines, like we do with muscles of the body, it can seem a bit confusing how exercise could train these involuntary intestinal muscles. I’m here to tell you it can be done! The Core Recovery Method® targets the involuntary nervous system and is able to trigger rhythmical reflexive activation of both the intestinal and core muscles.  When the protocol is practiced regularly, the intestines get stronger, and the need for laxatives goes away.

One of the most important functions of the core muscles is to keep your organs in their optimal position to receive proper blood, lymph and nerve flow. They do this through reflexive activation in response breathing and to the normal forces of daily living. When the core muscles are weak and dysfunctional, the organs often get compressed and fall out of their optimal position. When the organs are not in their ideal location, they are not able to receive proper blood, lymph and nerve flow- leading to inflammation and poor function. Food sensitivities can be the result. So if you are struggling with food sensitivities, aligning and detoxifying your organs with The Core Recovery Method® can improve your digestion, reduce inflammation, and be a game changer for your gut health!

The gut requires optimal blood, lymph and nerve flow to function at its best. The core muscles play a huge role in the circulation to the gut and how much (or how little) blood, lymph and nerve flow the gut receives. The core muscles are primarily involuntary muscles- they are comprised of 80% involuntary muscle fibers. These involuntary muscle fibers are reflexively activated through breathing and the forces of daily living. In a healthy core, normal daily breathing and normal daily movement triggers the proper reflexive activation of the core muscles, and the result is a healthy pumping of blood, lymph and nerve flow to the gut! When the core muscles are weak and dysfunctional, normal daily breathing and normal daily movement lead to inhibition of the core muscles, compression of the organs and reduction in their blood, lymph and nerve flow. So training the core muscles to perform their very important function of providing the gut with optimal circulation is of the utmost importance when it comes to gut health!

Yes, this protocol will absolutely help you achieve optimal gut health in ways that a healthy diet and other gut health practices don’t do. How? By addressing and focusing on organ position and function. Your core muscles manage the pressure in your abdomen and therefore control the position of your organs. Each of your organs (your stomach, spleen, pancreas, liver, intestines, bladder, bowel and uterus) all have an ideal position in your abdomen to receive optimal blood, lymph and nerve flow. When the core muscles are dysfunctional, the organs often fall out of their best position, and blood, lymph, and nerve flow gets reduced. This leads to reduced functioning of the organ itself which can lead to all of the symptoms of gut dysfunction. This is why oftentimes a healthy diet, proper hydration, and stress management aren’t enough to truly resolve gut issues for good.
