The microbiome is the missing link in better care
The gut microbiome influences gastrointestinal, cardio-metabolic, immune, and nervous system health.
Gastrointestinal Health
Supports digestion, motility, and nutrient absorption; imbalances can cause bloating, constipation, reflux, and abdominal discomfort.
Metabolic Health
Regulates metabolism, blood sugar control, and energy production for healthy weight and vitality.
Immunity and Inflammation
Shapes immune resilience and inflammatory balance, influencing infection risk, fatigue, and chronic inflammatory symptoms.
Mental Health
Impacts mood, cognition, and stress response through gut–brain axis communication and neurotransmitter production.
Food Reactivity
Influences tolerance and immune responses to foods with imbalances that can affect intestinal permeability and contribute to adverse food reactions.
Skin Health
Connects gut microbial balance with skin barrier function and inflammation, impacting acne, breakouts, rashes, skin flare-ups and sensitivity.
Women's Health and Hormones
Influences fertility, hormonal balance, and menstrual health through microbial–endocrine interactions.
Longevity and Performance
Supports vitality, resilience, and overall performance through balanced gut–brain, immune, and metabolic interactions.
