If you have gut problems, you can almost be certain that the microbiome plays a role. The microbiome is a collection of 40 trillion + tiny bugs including bacteria, viruses, yeast, archea, and other types of microbes.  These tiny bugs help us to digest our food, produce essential nutrients and neurotransmitters, and they contribute to nearly every facet of our health and well-being.  In this episode we are going to dig into the microbiome and why it is important for digestive health.
