GUT HEALTH
Gut health is foundational to overall wellbeing. A healthy gut communicates with the brain through nerves and other messengers.
It helps maintain hormone balance, influence physiological functions like metabolism and caloric processing (WEIGHT), wards off infectious agents like bacteria, viruses and fungi, modulates inflammation and regulates immunity.
The integrity of the intestinal lining, enzyme balance, toxins, improper use of probiotics, hidden food allergies and other factors all influence this delicate balance.
An unhealthy gut can present with many widespread symptoms such as seasonal allergies, irritable bowel, GERD, body pain, weight gain and mood disorders.

Emerging science has helped us understand the importance of a robust 'microbiome',
which refers to the delicate ecology of microorganisms that reside in the digestive tract.
Supporting an abundant and diverse microbiome is an important cornerstone for overall gut health. When symbiosis (mutually beneficial) bacteria are altered, so too is the health of the host.

Simple blood tests may not always offer enough information and often serum, urinary and salivary measurements provide a more comprehensive representation of functional health status. More sophisticated testing such as Live Blood Analysis can be useful in providing 'real time' results to help solve conditions.
