Your gut is more than a digestion system. It is a control center that affects your hormones, mood, weight, energy and inflammation. In this episode, Dr. Taz explains what the gut microbiome is, how leaky gut begins and why gut health is the missing link in hormone balance and metabolic health. You will learn the key signs of gut dysbiosis and how gut bacteria influence everything from anxiety to stubborn belly fat.
