Indeed, there is a wealth of emerging evidence regarding our “microbiome,” or the various microbes that live in our intestines, and how critical the diversity of these colonies of bacteria are to our health.

Microbiome

It is amazing how, the more we learn about our microbiome, the more we understand how it contributes to every known disease process.

Most people are unaware that the intestinal lining lies in direct communication with our immune system through the underlying GALT (gut associated lymphatic tissue), hence inflammation along our intestinal wall can activate our immune system and cause widespread symptoms.

Focus on gut health

In FM, we focus on the health of the gut lining as a foundational approach to healing. This approach works very well for many pathological conditions and enhances a person’s overall sense of wellbeing.
