“all disease begins in the gut.” -hippocrates

Gut health is the key to overall health. Your gut microbiome is responsible for the metabolism of fiber, immune support and communication with the central nervous system. The gut microbiome is able to communicate with the central nervous system via the gut-brain axis.
