Gut Health and Bloating // What You Need To Know
HEAL YOUR GUT, HEAL YOUR LIFE
After my surgery, it was as if my entire body changed overnight. For the obvious reasons of going from having boobs to foobs but I also felt like my hormones went crazy. Last summer it was really bad. I started gaining weight, I broke out all over my back, chest and face, I was experiencing major anxiety, and just felt like I was in a bit of a fog. I thought it was due to a hormone imbalance but I went to multiple endocrinologists who all said that my hormones seemed to be fine.
Those aren’t freckles, that is a full on breakout all over my back.
About two years ago I started taking Silver Fern’s digestive enzymes with each meal because I really struggled with bloating and stomach pains every time I ate. I honestly thought it was normal to be THAT bloated after meals and accepted it, even though I was miserable and unhealthy.
I say unhealthy, because I would often skip meals before I went out or before events because I didn’t want to feel bloated and uncomfortable. There were times when I LITERALLY would have to undo my pants at the dinner table because I couldn’t breathe they were so tight.
Little did I know that that wasn’t normal at all and that there was something I could do about it. I started taking digestive enzymes with each meal and it literally changed my life. I take them with every meal and I rarely ever get bloated anymore or get stomach aches after meals. I swear by this product and have shared it with all of my friends and family because I love and trust them that much.
So when the endocrinologists couldn’t fix the issues I was having with my body I started researching what else could be wrong with me and I started learning all about gut health and how big of an impact it has on our health and bodies.
IT’S CRAZY THAT OUR GUT HEALTH IMPACTS ALMOST EVERY THING IN OUR BODIES – SO MUCH SO THAT IT CAN EVEN BE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR MENTAL HEALTH.
The more I looked into gut health, the more I realized that I needed to heal mine and that it was probably the root cause of my health issues.
Luckily Silver Fern has a gut health kit that is used to restore your gut health. I incorporated their kit into my daily routine back in May and I almost immediately felt better.
In the last five months I have seen a huge difference:
I have lost weight
My skin has cleared
I have way more energy
My anxiety has lessened
My immune system is much stronger
I have been more efficient and creative
I’ve just been much happier
Healing my gut has had such positive effects on my entire mind, body and spirit.
Every time I post about Silver Fern, I get so many questions from the community and because I am not an expert at all when it comes to gut health, I wanted to get you all the best information so you could get a better understanding of gut health. I chatted with the two cofounders of Silver Fern, husband and wife Tiffany and Phil Cox.

ASK THE EXPERTS: Tiffany and Phil Cox
Tiffany and Phil are the cofounders of Silver Fern and are absolutely amazing!! (and sooo cuteeee!! ^^) They have been together for 19 years, have five beautiful children together and created the Silver Fern products because Phil was really struggling with a slew of health issues. From weight gain to constantly getting sick, Phil was finally fed up and sought help from his friend, Kiran Krishnan, who is a Research Microbiologist and the person who helps them create all of their formulas. When Phil started incorporating the silver fern products into his life, drinking his ‘secret’ smoothie, and he finally stopped getting sick, dropped three pant sizes and started gaining muscle and realized he needed to share these products with the world.
WHY IS GUT HEALTH IMPORTANT?
Phil: Almost all of our health problems start in the gut. So when the bacteria in your gut is off, it can lead to a lot of other health problems in your body. Almost everything in our bodies is impacted by the bacteria levels in our bodies, so when the bacteria is off it can lead to so many things being off in our bodies, like weight gain, brain fog, low energy, even depression.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOUR GUT IS OFF?
Phil: There are a lot of signs that are related to your gut that you might not even realize. The more obvious ones are IBS, stomach issues like aches and constipation, and bloating when you eat. But there are also other signs that are less obvious, like struggling with weight gain or constantly getting sick.
HOW CAN WE HEAL OUR GUT HEALTH?
Phil: there is so much information out there and it can be hard to sort through and it can also be hard to figure out which product you should invest in especially since there are so many on the market now. The problem is that you have to be careful when choosing a probiotic and because it really is about quality. Our products are a little more pricey because they really work and it costs us a lot of money to manufacture them because we make sure to use the best ingredients and we always want to make sure we are providing our customers with the best possible products. You can find probiotics that cost less but they will be less efficient.
We came out with a gut health kit to make it as easy as possible for our customers to heal their guts. It consists of:
