The Science of Gut Health
What is the microbiome?
The microbiome is the ecosystem of microbes (composed of bacteria, bacteriophage, fungi, protozoa and viruses) that live inside and on the human body. We have about 10 times as many microbial cells as human cells.

Where is the microbiome?
The biggest populations of microbes reside in the gut. The microbial cells and their genetic material, the microbiome, live with humans from birth.
Gut health is responsible for how you are feeling at this very moment
The Affects of Gut Health
Mood
95% of serotonin, a major mood-influencing hormone, is producted in the small intestine
Sleep
A disruption in gut microbiomes plays an important role in the development of sleep disorders such as insomnia
Bloating
Poor gut health can cause stomach disturbances like gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and heartburn. A balanced gut will have less difficulty processing food and eliminating waste.
Immunity
70-80% of immune cells are located in the gut. Your gut acts as a first line of defense against harmful toxins.
Weight Stability
Healthy weight levels start in the gut. A balance of key good bacteria, such as Lactobacillius gasseri, is clinically-proven to support weight management.
