Gastrointestinal Health by Lea Murphy
Gastrointestinal Health
A healthy gastrointestinal tract is essential to overall health and well-being. This has long been a fundamental naturopathic principle which is now supported by scientific evidence. Lea uses a simple but well developed and effective protocol to support gut health that she uses with many of her patients with great success.
Lea calls this the “Weed, Feed and Seed” protocol, that can take anywhere between 2 and 6 weeks to take effect. Treatments improve digestive function and lower gastrointestinal health as well maintain healthy intestinal flora.
