Your gut is far more than a food-processing tube. It’s a dynamic 
ecosystem, home to trillions of microorganisms, collectively known 
as the gut microbiome, that influence everything from nutrient absorption and immune resilience to mood, energy levels, hormone balance, skin health, and inflammation. When this ecosystem is supported, your whole body tends to function more smoothly. When it’s out of balance, the ripple effects can show up everywhere.
