Gut Health
Gut health refers to the balance of microorganisms that live in your large intestine, also called the microbiome. Good gut health means the microbiome has a healthy balance of good microorganisms and harmful microorganisms. This is important because the trillions of microorganisms that live in your gut influence your health and wellness. In addition to breaking down and absorbing nutrients from the food you eat, your gut affects immune health, mood, and hormones.
Gut health may influence your overall health and risk of disease more than genetics. However, unlike your genes, you have some control over the health of your gut. At OWM Integrative Wellness in Buffalo, New York, the team of integrative and functional medicine providers can help you improve gut health by creating a personalized wellness plan.
The team at OWM Integrative Wellness understands the strong connection between gut health and your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Using innovative health and wellness tools, they can change the balance of microorganisms in your microbiome, improving gut health.
