I don’t know about you, but I love when my lawn is weedless, thick and green. It just displays a healthy lawn and makes me happy. I also love when my body feels well and has energy, joy, and peace. What is the correlation between my lawn and my body? Take a listen to this Podcast to understand your lawn and your gut.
Welcome friends to my Podcast Giving You a Fresh Start After Trauma. Today I want to talk a little bit about health and some new findings regarding Alzheimer’s and how it doesn’t show up in our brain first. Let’s get started.
“I’d Prefer to Read Your Message!”
Isn’t that a bizarre title? What could possibly be the correlation between our lawn and our gut? Well, a lot. Recent research shows that our gut is our second brain. So much of our health starts in our gut or as science calls it our microbiome. An out of balance gut/microbiome can contribute to anxiety and depression or even be the cause of it. It can also be the root of many dis-eases.
Now for the correlation. As you look at this picture of my lawn, what do you see? Healthy, lush, green grass. That’s because I feed it organically and have it managed by an organic company that can read the soil, find dis-ease early on and treat it in a healthful way.
Consider this statement by Scientist Bernard:
“The pathogen is nothing, the terrain is everything!”
What he is saying is that if your gut is healthy and somehow a pathogen gets in, there will be enough good bacteria to rid our body of that pathogen. Or your gut is so healthy that a pathogen will not be able to get in.
Our bodies are an incredible design by an incredible God. Think about all the parts of your body that operate as a perfect orchestra. God designed your body parts to be in harmony. If it is not, then you need to look at what happened to bring it out of balance.
Yes, your body is the same as a well-rehearsed orchestra. Your lungs are breathing in oxygen and releasing CO2. Think about your heart beats at a pace to keep you alive. You have a liver flushes out toxins, and your digestive system works to take the nutrients out of the food you eat and purge the rest. These are just a few of the parts of your body working beautifully.
Now back to my lawn.
For me to have this beautiful lawn requires work. It must be fed and watered to maintain it. Is it costly? It can be. But if I decided to use a chemical company to save money and pay less than I do now, then my lawn won’t be safe to walk on.
It’s the same with your gut. You need to feed it nutrition … clean nutrition. So many people are overweight but are malnourished at the same time. because of all the processed foods they eat. Processed foods are not real food as they are full of chemicals, and our bodies don’t know what to do with the chemicals. Our body will see it as an invader and then must battle to get rid of it. It puts your body in a weakened state.
Recently I was reading an article from Dr. Mercola on The Alzheimer’s Gut-Brain Link: How Butyrate Curbs Amyloid-Beta Buildup and Inflammation. Science is showing that the first warning signs of Alzheimer’s do not show up in the brain. Look at the summary below to get the highlights of this article.

There are some powerful statements here for you to ponder to determine could your dietary habits be leading you on a path of breaking the communication between your gut and your brain.
It’s important to clean up what we put in our body as well as on our body. To help you know what you could be eating or applying to your body as harmful, I created a Study Guide “Your Journey to Wholeness!” outlining the steps to take for a healthier life.
