I wanted to share a recent study I ran across. Parkinson's disease is a great example why the microbiome is so important to overall health.
Basically, a disrupted microbiome causes vitamin B12 and Biotin deficiencies. Many times deficiencies can be caused by bacteria "eating" those nutrients.
"Symptoms typically begin with constipation and sleep problems, up to 20 years before progressing into dementia and the debilitating loss of muscle control.
Previous research found people with Parkinson's disease also experience changes in their microbiome long before other signs appear."
Constipation isn't normal. It should be fixed before other problems arise and I'd love to help!
Researchers have suspected for some time that the link between our gut and brain plays a role in the development of Parkinson's disease.
