Although microbiome research has exploded within recent years, there is evidence in our language that shows that the brain and gut connection was not unknown to our ancestors.

Did you know that your brain and gut are best friends? 🧠❤️💩 They’re constantly communicating through a bi-directional system called the brain-gut axis, impacting each other’s function and overall health.

Microplastics can trigger inflammation in the gut, disrupting the microbiome and increasing the risk of disease. Adding probiotics to your diet, and limiting your exposure to single use plastics, can help you maintain a strong, happy gut! 💪

The pollutants that are found in the air after wildfires can have lasting impacts on your brain and gut microbiome. When natural disasters occur, like the recent LA wildfires, it is important to keep yourself safe and stay alert.
