Gut Microbiome Influence

Meaning

The Gut Microbiome Influence refers to the complex and dynamic impact that the trillions of symbiotic microorganisms residing in the gastrointestinal tract exert on human physiology, extending far beyond the process of digestion. This profound influence includes modulating the endocrine system, regulating immune function, and affecting nutrient absorption and overall metabolism. In hormonal health, a key aspect is the ‘estrobolome,’ a specialized subset of gut bacteria that metabolizes and recycles estrogens, directly affecting circulating hormone levels.
