Good gut health and a healthy microbiome form one of the key foundations of wellbeing recognised in holistic naturopathic practice, because gut health influences the whole body.
When gut function or microbiome become disrupted and not working efficiently, hormones, metabolism, mood, cognitive function, immune regulation, and healthy ageing can all be affected.

Practitioner Notes
Gut problems and symptoms are rarely caused by a single factor. Circadian disruption, stress physiology, blood sugar imbalance, nutrient insufficiency, hormonal changes, gut health disturbances, and light exposure patterns can all influence the digestive function. A systems-based approach helps identify the factors most relevant to each individual.
Continue Your Learning Journey
The gut, the microbiome and the digestive tract do not operate in isolation. Nutrition, stress physiology, circadian biology, metabolic health and hormone health all influence gut health, digestive function and microbiome resilience.
