Gut Ecology

Meaning

Gut Ecology refers to the complex, dynamic community of microorganisms residing within the gastrointestinal tract and their collective influence on host physiology, including nutrient absorption and immune signaling that profoundly affects endocrine health. Dysbiosis in this system can directly impair the metabolism and clearance of circulating steroid hormones. A balanced ecology is foundational for systemic wellness.
