What is it?

The importance of gut health

Nutrition and gut health are the foundation to overall health. Everyone's individual microbiome (microorganisms in the gut) play a vital role in the maintenance of health and the prevention of disease. Therefore optimising your gut health is often the first place to consider when improving overall health.

Diversity in the foods we eat leads to diversity of bacteria that make up the microbiome. A greater diversity is linked with improved health.

Gut health is not just about digestive symptoms. Gut health impacts on immune function, mental health, skin etc.

Symptoms are not just a nuisance. Symptoms such as fatigue, skin issues, bloating etc reflect underlying issues that need to be corrected.

Treatments may involve functional testing, targeted dietary advice and lifestyle suggestions, which can lead to lasting healing, rather than just suppressing symptoms with medication
