Internal Health

A properly balanced gut microbiome improves energy levels and mood, keeps us from getting sick, and even helps to protect us from devastating diseases.

Why Is A Healthy Gut Microbiome Important?

Importance of a healthy gut

Maintaining a balanced gut microbiome is critical for staying healthy.

Imbalances in the gut microbiome (called dysbiosis) have been associated with a wide spectrum of diseases.

People are complex systems, and optimal health is the result of having a healthy gut with the correct balance of biochemistry and microbes populating our bodies.

What Does the Gut Microbiome Do?

Damaged gut

The gut microbiome processes the raw materials we need to support all systems in the body.

A damaged gut microbiome produces an improper balance of building blocks, which makes the body more susceptible to disease.

A healthy gut microbiome produces a better balance of building blocks, which protects the body from disease.

How Long Has Microbiome Science Been Around?

Gut microbiome science and research has been around for more than 40 years and is gaining traction as a key to optimal health.

Recently, there’s been a dramatic shift in the scientific community recognizing the gut microbiome as a crucial part of personal health. In 2016, five times the number of articles were published about gut microbiome than from 1978–2010. Dr. Wayne Matson, the co-founder and chief scientist of Ixcela, is considered the “father of modern metabolomics.”

Articles on microbiome health are routinely featured in internationally recognized news sources. Examples include:
