Why Gut Health is Critical for Overall Wellness
Gut health plays a major role in various bodily functions, including digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune regulation. Imbalances in the gut microbiome can contribute to numerous health problems, ranging from digestive disorders to autoimmune conditions, skin issues, and even neurological disorders. The 'gut-brain axis' highlights the connection between mental health and gut health, with links to depression, anxiety, and conditions such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
Understanding Leaky Gut
Leaky gut occurs when the intestinal lining becomes overly permeable, allowing harmful particles to enter the bloodstream. This can trigger immune responses, leading to conditions such as allergies, autoimmune diseases, and chronic inflammation. Symptoms often include digestive issues, fatigue, skin problems, and brain fog. This test is designed to detect markers of leaky gut, helping you identify and address this issue early.
