Gut Health and Overall Health
Did you know that over 75% of your immune system is in your gut? Sounds so wild, but it is true. This is yet another reason why a healthy, happy belly is of utmost importance!
If you're thinking that you don't feel bad, don't have a dietary sensitivities and feel like your gut is just fine, you could still be experiencing symptoms of gut inflammation and imbalance (dysbiosis). Lots of things in our daily life can result in tiny holes in the gut lining, creating a 'leaky gut.' This is a huge topic of medical study and one for another day, but leaky gut can cause a whole host of symptoms. Some less straightforward symptoms include migraines, brain fog, joint pain, eczema, acne, and emotional instability.
If this is you (and honestly even if it's not) I challenge you to spend a minimum of 40 days eating low-inflammatory foods, moving your body, taking Live 9 and ICP Daily and seeing how these things change! Bonus points for adding 2-4 ounces of NingXia Red each day.
ICP Daily contains powerful ingredients like agave inulin, guar gum, and prickly pear cactus extract that works synergistically (1+1=3) with Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass, and Rosemary essential oils to detoxify the gut and promote a healthy environment for bacterial balance. Pairing ICP Daily with Life 9 is ideal. ICP Daily creates a clean, happy home for the diverse bacteria of the Live 9 probiotic.
Plus, the ingredients in ICP Daily provide 6 grams of plant-based probiotics and 5 grams of soluble fiber. Probiotics and fiber are crucial for overall gut health and digestive mobility (ease of things moving through which is definitely what we want) as well as overall cardiovascular and immune system health.
Overall, ICP Daily is an ideal way to maintain a healthy gut microbiome, aid in the body's natural detoxification process, promote healthy postbiotics in the gut, and even help you feel full longer. If that's not a win, I don't know what is!

Gut Health and Emotional Health
It may seem strange to link gut health with emotions, but there is a big reason why the two things are connected.
We've all heard about serotonin, especially since it is one of our 'happy' hormones along with dopamine. Serotonin is the control switch for the body and brain's neurotransmitters. It helps us regulate our emotions from excited and energetic to calm and focused, so when levels are too low, problems can certainly arise.
A lot of serotonin is produced in the brain (this is what we hear about a lot with mental health needs), but a large amount is also produced in the digestive system. So much so that our gut is called the 'second brain.' In fact, almost 90% of the serotonin in our bodies is produced by the peripheral nervous system in the gut. WOW!
So many things impact the gut's ability to produce and maintain adequate levels of serotonin. A few of these include food sensitivities and allergies, acute and chronic illness, flora imbalances, yeast overgrowth, acute and chronic illness, conventional medication and antibiotic use. Some of these things are within our control to change and others we have to simply support and rebuild the gut after experiencing. Acute needs are definitely going to require work, but the real ticket to health is in daily actions.
Often when we crave foods high in sugar or white flour, we are innately trying to regulate low serotonin levels. These foods may give us a quick pick me up, but they also lead to a crash shortly after. But there are many ways we can support the gut (second brain, remember) daily to maintain adequate serotonin (among other important things). Adding ICP Daily to your daily wellness routine is a great way to support your gut.
