A lot has changed in how we eat.
More convenience, more options, more food engineered in a lab to taste good and last forever on a shelf. And alongside all of that, more gut problems, more food reactions, more chronic inflammation than any previous generation has dealt with.
Meanwhile, a lot of the foods people once relied on to keep digestion working right have quietly disappeared from the conversation.
Take slippery elm. A native North American tree bark used by Indigenous healers for centuries to calm digestive irritation; bloating, cramping, heartburn. When prepared properly it forms a protective gel that coats the digestive tract and lets irritated tissue start repairing itself. It also supports the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
Your ancestors knew about this. Most people today have never heard of it.
That's just one of the 23 foods covered in this free guide from integrative health expert Jason Prall - 23 Superfoods to Heal Your Gut and Eliminate Inflammation.
It breaks down exactly how and why each food works, practical ways to add them to your daily routine, and evidence-based guidance on getting the most out of each one. Most are easy to find. Some you might already have at home.
After you enter your info, watch the short video on the page; there's a tip you can start using today to start reducing gut inflammation right away.
The guide also comes with a free seat to the Food Sensitivity Summit starting March 26th — 15 experts including Dr. Datis Kharrazian and Dr. Keesha Ewers walking through the root causes of food sensitivities and what actually fixes them.
To your health,

P.S. One simple example from the guide: add a small amount of slippery elm powder to your morning smoothie. The liquid activates the mucilage in the bark and turns it into that protective gel your gut needs. Easy, practical, and something your great-grandfather probably already knew.
