Dysbiosis refers to an imbalance in the bacterial composition within the gut. Conditions like Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), diverticulitis, anal fissures, chronic c...

The Effects of Nature and Our Pawed Friends on Our Microbiota
We are living on a planet that is over 4.5 billion years old. Considering that the oldest rock is around 3.8 billion years old, the oldest bacterial fossil is 3.5 billion years old, and modern humans have only been around for approximately 50,000 years, it's easy to understand that bacteria have thousands, even tens of thousands, of times more life experience than humans. Over the past 3.5 bill...

Can the Effects of Autism be Reduced by Supporting the Microbiota?
Research has repeatedly demonstrated the significant role of infant microbiota in individuals' social, emotional, and neurological (brain) development. Babies with a healthy microbiota continue to live as more social, healthy, and adaptable individuals throughout childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. The first step to having a healthy microbiota during infancy starts with the expectant mother'.....
