Our gut, also known as the gastrointestinal tract, is a complex ecosystem packed with trillions of microorganisms, collectively called the gut microbiome. These microbes play a crucial role in digestion, immune function, and even mood regulation. An imbalance in this delicate ecosystem, known as dysbiosis, can have far-reaching consequences and can potentially lead to intestinal permeability (leaky gut) and food intolerances.
