Restore Your Gut Health
Hippocrates said that all disease begins in the gut. With its roles in nutrient digestion and absorption, detoxification, neurotransmitter creation, and immune system regulation, it's clear that Hippocrates was onto something. Our GI tract is increasingly understood to play a role in the development of food sensitivities, the rise of autoimmune diseases, depression, cognitive decline, hormone imbalance, and chronic inflammation.
