The human intestinal tract contains a wide and complex microbial community which plays a massive role in human health i.e. human physiology, metabolism, nutrition and immune function.
There’s a sensitive balance that must be held in order to achieve microbiota homeostasis (balance), small changes through diet, external stressors, hygiene and even antibiotics can create a good vs. bad microbiota imbalance leading to poor gut health, gastrointestinal conditions like IBS and even obesity.
As a society, we’re now taking in more junk food than ever, more high-sugar beverages, less fiber, less fruits & vegetables and more medicines like antibiotics… a literal perfect storm for an imbalanced gut.
