Bacterial Metabolites: Why We Even Have a Microbiome

Warren Brown, ND

Many people focus on a laundry list of organisms present in the gut microbiome. However, what those organisms create (the metabolites) are actually the drivers of health or disease. From short chain fatty acid production to regulating hormonal balance, the gut metabolites are key. In this module, Dr. Warren Brown explains the vital role of gut metabolites on our health and ways they are assessed on the GI Effects Stool Profile and the Microbiomix Profile. Gain insight from Dr. Brown on how to support your microbiome not only for gut health but more importantly, optimal systemic health.
