Science and medicine are in an evolving process that is continually revealing knowledge about health and well being. It has come a long way in the last 2,400 years; with emerging science that has proven Hippocrates was right all those years ago—“all disease begins in the gut.”

Our gut microbiome includes the  beneficial probiotics (bacteria) and the integrity of our colonic epithelial cells (inner lining) that powerfully affects our overall health. It affects our digestive health, our mental health, our hormonal health. Yes, our overall health.

This microbiome is a complex and dynamic community of trillions of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes. We actually have more bacteria in our body than we have cells of our body, and they play a crucial role in maintaining overall health by aiding digestion, producing essential nutrients, and protecting against harmful pathogens.

Each individual’s microbiome is unique and influenced by various factors such as diet, genetics, environment, and lifestyle. The balance of this microbial ecosystem is essential for optimal health. An imbalance can contribute to various health issues, including digestive disorders, weight variations, blood sugar challenges, and even cognitive function.

A primary functions is to assist in the digestion of complex carbohydrates, sugars, fibers, and other nutrients that the human body cannot digest on its own by means of fermentation. They produce short-chain fatty acids, such as butyrate, acetate, and propionate, which serve as energy sources for the cells lining the gut. Additionally, the gut microbiome synthesizes essential vitamins, such as vitamin K and certain B vitamins, particularly B12, which plays a crucial role in the immune system. Seventy percent of our immune system is in the gut, the Peyer Patches of the small intestine and the microbiome of the large intestine.

By maintaining a healthy balance of beneficial microbes, it helps to prevent the colonization of harmful bacteria and supports a robust immune response. Stomach acids affect the survival of oral probiotics, therefore a unique method of application can offer surprising results.

Testimony from M.B. “Just wanted to shoot you a quick email and say thank you for your product. I am proud and happy to say that my husband and I are two proud new recipients of your colon reflorastation product. I also wanted to say thank you for your response time. I am almost finished with your book and what a treat that was to read. I am sure you are a busy woman, so I just wanted to extend my thanks and say I will be back... and will refer some of my mental health clients, if you wouldn't mind.”

Diet and lifestyle choices can then promote a diverse and balanced gut microbiome. One consumes a large variety of fiber-rich foods, including fermented products that are essential for maintaining and nurturing our gastrointestinal system. This is fundamental to health, vitality and well being.
