Dr. Joanne Conaway, a naturopathic physician who has made it her mission to heal the guts of the world, spoke Thursday at the Woodward Conference Center to educate the public on the importance of a healthy and balanced diet.

Having a balance between healthy gut bacteria and bad gut bacteria is important for your overall health.

"Our bacteria in our stomach outnumber our human cells by ten to one," said Conaway. "The healthy bacteria in our digestive system actually control hundreds of disease causing pathogenic bacteria. Only, however, if you have lots of healthy gut bacteria and not an over growth of unhealthy gut bacteria. The healthy bacteria are modulated and regulated by our diets."

Conaway talked about foods that impact the good and bad gut bacteria and the importance of knowing the difference between them.

The lecture hit at genetically modified foods that have changed to the point of no longer being considered healthy.

"We have changed the chromosomal structure of wheat," said Conaway. "We've done it under the guise of making it drought resistant, resistant to certain pathogens, increase the yield. All of these things are the reasons why researchers have driven wheat to what it is today.

"But the unfortunate thing for us is that it now contains gluten proteins and those gluten proteins have been structural changed to the point that, unfortunately, our digestive systems cannot handle it. And not only that, it impacts the function of our digestive systems. Even more importantly is realizing that wheat has a very high glycemic index."

Foods such as wheat, barley, rye, oats, oils, well cooked red meats, nitrates, fried foods, potato skins, and carbonated beverages made Conaway's list of foods to avoid for a healthy gut.

Conaway recommends not only a balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables but also utilize probiotics, vitamins, and minerals to promote healthy bacteria.

A healthier life is found through the gastrointestinal tract according to Conaway.
