CREATING A ROBUST IMMUNE SYSTEM WITH A HEALTHY GUT MICROBIOME

Surprisingly, the gut is the key to our immune system, in fact almost 70% of our immune system is housed in the gut. Within your gut, the resident bacteria (including other microscopic organisms), is known as the gut microbiome. It directly interacts with your immune cells and affects your overall immune response against infection.

A functioning healthy gut microbiome is rich in diverse beneficial bacteria, enabling a robust immune response to fight infection. However, a compromised microbiome can hinder your immune system leading to infection.

VACCINATION SUPPORT

GUT HEALTH & GUT MICROBIOME RECOVERY

 Using a variety whole foods rich in prebiotic fibre is quintessential when it comes to a healthy and diverse gut microbiota. A healthy gut microbiome is the cornerstone of good health. Not only is it essential for healthy digestion, it also plays an integral role in immune function, mental health, energy production, blood glucose control and healthy weight composition.

By creating rich and diverse microflora in our gut can be the difference between being healthy and battling illness. All chronic conditions/diseases have an inflammatory nature. It is this inflammation that is linked to a dysbiotic gut, where there is an imbalance of ‘bad’ bacteria (pro-inflammatory) to ‘good’ bacteria (anti-inflammatory).
