The ‘Gut’ refers to the gastrointestinal track. It starts at the mouth and compromises of all organs in the digestive system, including the oesophagus, stomach, and the small and large intestines.

The gut is a highly intelligent system, continuously working to keep you alive and healthy. It absorbs energy and nutrients from the food you eat to support vital body functions.

The gut is responsible for your entire digestion process, plays a major role in the development and upkeep of your immune system and is also closely connected to your mood and brain health.

If something is off in your gut, it can affect every other system in your body, having a negative impact on your wellbeing. Some signs of an imbalanced gut include fatigue, indigestion, inflammation, hormone imbalances, low immunity and skin problems.
