Why should I optimise my microbiome even in the absence of gut symptoms?
Everyday, there is more and more scientific literature showing how the delicate balance of the microbes in our gut have profound impacts on our all facets of our health.
Our gut ecosystem is constantly interacting with cells, tissues, organs and systems throughout the body and is now considered an organ in its own right. It is now undeniable that the state of our gut health and the composition of our microbial ecosystem has a huge impact in either contributing to the development of inflammation and disease states OR the prevention of disease and promotion of health outcomes. When in the right balance, the microbiota and gut integrity can help with the following;
Healthy aging / senescence
