The Human Gut Microbiome
Ever wanted to know more about your body's second brain - the Human Microbiome?
The video on the left explores the fundamental aspects of human health from a microbial perspective.
​
By the end, you will see that your gut microbiome is a little community where everyone has a job and purpose in maintaining our overall health.
The Microbiome Ethos
Every individual has their own unique microbiome that consists of a collection of micro-organisms that live within the gut (colon). Scientific research suggests our dietary intake has a profound impact on these organisms which affects our overall health.
​
Most of us live with an imbalanced microbiome and exhibit symptoms such as:
​
-
Difficulty losing or gaining weight
-
Allergies to foods
-
Skin reactions or rashes
-
Asthma
-
Mental Illness (e.g., Anxiety, Depression, etc.)
-
Digestive Issues (e.g., bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, and/or poor digestion)
-
Fatigue
-
Inflammation or joint pain
-
Medical Conditions (e.g., Diabetes, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, etc.)
By making sustainable changes in your dietary intake under my effective guidance, I can help you create and support a healthier microbiome. With a healthy and active microbiome, you have a better chance to reduce or even eliminate these symptoms from your lifestyle.
