GUT is part of your digestive tract and functions as a complex ecosystem essential for nutrient absorption, immune defense, and even mental well-being.
It is home to the gut microbiome, a diverse ecosystem of trillions of microorganisms—mostly bacteria (But the good type 😉)
Why is the GUT important:
🦠 Breaks the food down into nutrients essential for energy, growth and cell repair
🦠 Approximately 70–80% of the body’s immune system resides in the gut. Beneficial bacteria train immune cells to identify and fight pathogens.
🦠 Gut bacteria synthesise essential vitamins that humans cannot produce on their own
🦠 The gut produces 90–95% of the body’s serotonin, often called the “happiness hormone,” which regulates mood, sleep, and appetite.
🦠 There is a constant two-way communication between the gut and the brain via the vagus nerve. This is why stress can cause stomach upset, and gut imbalances can contribute to anxiety or depression.
Let me help you to get to know your gut better and keep the microbiome healthy 🏆
