What Does Gut Health Have to Do with Inflammation?
Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria that support digestion, immunity, and metabolic health. When that ecosystem becomes unbalanced (from stress, diet, antibiotics, or toxins), harmful bacteria can flourish—disrupting the gut lining and triggering systemic inflammation. This "silent" inflammation can contribute to:- Weight gain or resistance to weight loss
- Joint pain and fatigue
- Hormonal imbalances
- Mood shifts and anxiety
- Skin issues like acne, eczema, or rosacea
