The intestinal mucosa and epithelial lining is ground zero in the battle for favorable vs. unfavorable immune and metabolic responses to food and the environment, which leads to a cascade of positive or negative health outcomes in peripheral tissue. The health of an individual is often decided at this thin layer of tissue that truly separates the inside of the body, from the outside. The fate of one's metabolic and immune health depends on the ability of the microbiome to modulate reactions to incoming stimuli and control the subsequent sequence of events. Postnatal, transient commensal organisms play a crucial role in the body's response at this critical axis vs. metabolic response modifiers, typically known as "probiotics", tend to offer a different class of benefits. Lastly, learn about a clinically validated solution for Leaky Gut.
