Gut health is an essential aspect of overall health and well-being. The gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem of beneficial and potentially harmful bacteria and yeast that plays a vital role in digestion, absorption of nutrients, and immune system function. Bacteria by the trillions live in your gut; both good and bad species. The bad are related to inflammation and the good is related to overall health and well-being. Getting these microbes in balance is crucial to healthy living. 

 

Poor gut health can lead to a range of issues, including digestive disorders, autoimmune diseases, inflammation, depression, anxiety, dementia, chronic fatigue and many other issues. Factors that can negatively impact gut health include stress, poor nutrition, and the use of antibiotics and antacids.
