Gut Insight
Your gut is central to your overall health, serving as the hub for nutrition integration and housing 70-80% of your immune cells. The interplay between your intestinal microbiota, epithelial layer, and mucosal immune system is crucial for well-being. An unhealthy gut, symptomatic or not, can impact overall health. Gut dysfunction, like malabsorption, increased permeability, and toxins, can lead to hormone issues, immune dysregulation, and systemic inflammation, making you feel unwell.
