Did you know the human body harbours 10x more microbial cells than human cells?
Let me introduce you to your microbiome, a community of microbes that live in the gut, on the skin and elsewhere in the body that are crucial for your overall wellbeing.

In case you are new here, hi, my name is Eva Humphries, a BANT registered nutritionist. You can read more about me here.

Ok, don’t freak out, but we all have a large number of microbes on us. They are, mostly beneficial, in fact, we actually need them to stay healthy.
The largest collection of these microbes are in the gut, where their main job is to ferment the fibre we can’t otherwise digest.
In exchange for the fibre, the microbes send us “thank you gifts”, namely things like biotin, Vitamin K and short chain fatty acids that then directly nourish us. We have this mutually beneficial agreement with them whereby we give them somewhere to live and they help us be healthy.

This relationship isn’t so simple though.
Our microbiome actually has an effect on most of our body, including:
- the way we digest our food. Bloated? This will likely be down to an imbalanced microbiome.
- the absorption of nutrients - without these little organisms, we can’t obtain all of the nutrients we need
- hormones - yes, even our hormones are affected by bacteria
- brain health and even your mood - you know those brain chemicals that make you feel happy? They are very heavily influenced by the microbiome.
- the skin - eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and acne may all be linked to the microbiome
- the immune system - the microbiome strengthens the immune system
- weight gain/ loss - struggling to lose weight? An imbalanced microbiome may be at play.
& many many others

So why am I telling you this?
Your microbiome is quite literally the hidden secret to improving your wellbeing.
Sadly, we don’t pay enough attention to it so most of us live with some depletions in our microbiome but with some small tweaks and few new foods added, the microbiome can be harnessed to our advantage.
It is a crucial piece of the health puzzle that could be keeping you from feeling amazing every day.
