Unfortunately, core aspects of our daily lives– from the food we eat, to everyday stress, to lack of sleep or exercise, to antibiotic use–can damage the balance in our delicate inner ecosystems. Our good gut bacteria becomes overrun by the bad–and our inner garden that should be full of ferns and flowers, becomes choked with weeds.
When our inner gardens are in this state, we cannot thrive. We can feel its impacts in so many seemingly unrelated ways; from relatively minor complaints like fatigue, skin breakouts, and bloating, to deadly diseases such as diabetes, dementia, and autoimmune disorders.
The good news? By nurturing a healthy gut garden, we can have healthier, longer, happier lives.
