The basics of gut health

Microbiome image under a microscope

What is "gut" health?

When we talk about the health of your gut, or intestinal tract, we're mainly referring to the health of your microbiome. 

The microbiome consists of microbes that are both helpful and potentially harmful. Most are symbiotic (where both the human body and microbiota benefit) and some, in smaller numbers, are pathogenic (promoting disease).

Good gut health is all about balance.

When we have a balance of the good bacteria and potentially harmful bacteria in the large and small intestines, we can say we have good gut health.

Why does it matter? 

The health of your microbiome is the foundation of your overall health. It's estimated that 80% of your immunity lies within the gut, as does the majority of your body's serotonin.

When serotonin levels are off balance, there can be both physical and psychological health issues. 

So, if your gut isn't healthy, then your immune system and hormone function won't be up to par. 

This imbalance can make it really hard for you to stay healthy, which is why it's critical to address your gut health as a foundational step to creating overall wellness in your body.

    A Holistic System

    Oftentimes, when we look to cleanse our bodies, we have an adhoc approach - a little bit of this, and a little bit of that - and tend to not look for a comprehensive system that works together for maximum results.

    Watch this quick video to see how GX Assist and PB Assist + work synergistically to maximize your cleanse.

    Zendocrine Detoxification Compex
