The Gut Microbiome

The Gut Microbiome: The Root of All Health and Disease
Modern science is catching up to what ancient healing systems always knew: true health begins in the gut.

What is the Gut Microbiome?
Your gut is home to trillions of microorganisms—bacteria, yeasts, and other microbes—that form your gut microbiota. 

Imbalances in the gut microbiome lie at the root of almost every chronic disease—from digestive issues and autoimmune conditions to mental health disorders, allergies, skin problems, hormonal imbalances, and more.

These tiny life forms aren’t just passengers; they are active participants in nearly every biological function:
· Regulating the immune system
· Producing vitamins like B12, K2, and folate
· Managing inflammation
· Aiding in digestion and nutrient absorption
· Balancing hormones and neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine
· Protecting against harmful pathogens

When the gut microbiome is balanced, the whole body thrives. But when it’s disturbed—by poor diet, antibiotics, toxins, or stress—disease begins to emerge leading to  “gut dysbiosis”
