Gut Microbiome Regulation

Meaning

Gut Microbiome Regulation is the process of actively managing the composition, diversity, and metabolic activity of the trillions of microorganisms residing in the gastrointestinal tract to promote systemic health and optimize hormonal balance. This regulation is crucial because the gut microbiota directly influences nutrient absorption, immune function, and the enterohepatic circulation of sex hormones and thyroid metabolites. Dysregulation, or dysbiosis, is linked to chronic inflammation and endocrine disruption.
