Your health depends on the microbes in your gut
Many digestive health issues involve an imbalance of intestinal bacteria. Cycles of dietary malabsorption, bacterial overgrowth, inflammation, intestinal gas, and toxin production lead to a variety of symptoms, leaky gut, and autoimmune reactions.
Our body cannot digest certain foods, such as resistant starch and various fibers. Instead, we depend on a diverse population of bacteria to digest them for us so that our body, in turn, utilizes fats and vitamins produced by the bacteria.
We have over 100 trillion bacteria comprised of 500 to 1000 species and many more sub-species in our large and small intestines, creating a healthy ecosystem. However, when this ecosystem is disrupted, we experience a variety of symptoms and digestive health issues.
Through dietary changes, behavioral modifications, and supplementation, you can bring your gut microbes into a healthy balance and become symptom-free without drugs or antibiotics.
