Our digestive health is one of the most important functioning systems in our body, and at the heart of that is our gut microbiome. It is not only responsible for the digestion and absorption of nutrients, but also a critical pillar in the formation of our immunity, our mental wellness, inflammatory response and the production of hormones. It is estimated that 90% of our serotonin is manufactured in the gut and that it holds 80% of our immune system (1). The enteric nervous system has been called our second brain. These microbes influence how we think, feel and even help us maintain a healthy weight.
