GUT MICROBIOME

Gut microbiome

Hippocrates (460-376 BC): ‘All disease begins in the gut.’

According to Hippocrates, “poor digestion is the root of all evil.” Today, we can confidently state that gut function is the mirror to one’s overall health. In case you haven’t done so, it’s time to get to know your gut and its unique microbiome!!!

The gut,  the largest organ in the human body, the gut contains around 100 trillion microorganisms.  Under normal circumstances, these microorganisms live in absolute harmony with the cells of the intestinal tract, controlling as a second “brain” the overall metabolic, secretory, nutritional and defensive activity of the human body and play a major role in the way we feel and behave! 

But what can disrupt this coexistence? When this harmonious symbiosis is disturbed, the imbalance may lead to a multitude of pathological conditions and symptoms. The gut microbiome is directly affected by numerous factors, including nutrition which is our focus area here at Personal Wellness. 

Scientific research demonstrates that improvement in eating habits may decrease unwanted microbes and increase gut diversity and abundance. These changes are beneficial for the gut microflora, let alone our overall health.

You should take a closer look at your gut microbiome, if: 

-you wish to check the state of your gut microbiome and follow a targeted nutritional intervention, based on the needs that will arise from our in-depth gut microbiome analysis.

– you wish to adopt healthier eating habits that may lead to the prevention of many risk factors and diseases, such as obesity, sugar imbalances, dyslipidaemia, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, degenerative diseases, etc.

– you are dealing with atypical symptoms and/or chronic health problems and seek for a more a holistic approach through personalised nutrition and lifestyle.
