Our gut and brain are in constant communication through the vagus nerve, which can influence our mood and other feelings.
Our microbiome comprises diverse communities of microbes, including bacteria, archaea, viruses, protozoa, and fungi, residing on and within our bodies. This symbiotic relationship with our human cells is vital for health.
However, factors like diet, antibiotics, and bodily changes can disrupt this balance, leading to dysbiosis.
Home to trillions of microbes, gut microbiome influences digestion, immune function, and overall health. It impacts conditions like irritable bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), heart health, lung health, and skin health.
A balanced skin microbiome protects against harmful bacteria which can lead to conditions like acne, eczema, and dry skin. Moreover, it supports wound healing abilities and skin regeneration.
As the second largest microbial community, oral microbiome affects brain function and overall health. Linked closely with the gut microbiome, it influences conditions like IBD, heart diseases, and cancer. Getting tested addresses conditions such as caries and periodontal disease for improved oral health.
A healthy vaginal microbiome is essential for women's health as it is in constant flux and requires special attention. Disturbances from factors like antibiotics and aging can lead to issues like recurrent UTIs, miscarriages, and yeast infections. Testing aids in addressing these concerns for improved vaginal health.
