So how would somebody know if they need extra support with digestive enzymes?
I think that at least temporarily, especially if you're 30+, under any kind of stress, if you've eaten any glyphosates, you would do well with the trial of digestive enzymes. And I also think it's restoring your gut microbiome. So those two things work together. How do you know if you have an issue? You feel like a snake. You know that feeling when you eat, especially protein, where you just are like, this just feels like it's sitting here. In here forever. Now we know that protein and fiber together slow down stomach emptying, but they shouldn't grind it to a halt, you know. So if you just feel like that food's sitting in you, or you've got rosacea, you feel like you've got a little heartburn— it's always that paradoxical thing of, I've got heartburn, so I must have low stomach acids, like, or high stomach acids. Like, no, you actually have low stomach acid quite often, and it's just sitting in there and it's not digesting. It's causing that stomach acid to wash back up again. So is it, you know, heartburn? Is it, is it bloaty? Is it that rosacea or breakouts? Any of those types of things can be signs of it. And the easiest thing to do is just do a little trial.
