Gut health is essential. Dr. Elena Ivanina sheds light on the microbiome’s critical role in digestion, immunity, the nervous system, and hormone regulation. Describing the microbiome as a complex ecosystem within the gut, she advocates for a personalized approach to assessing and treating gut issues. She emphasizes the power of labwork to uncover nutrient deficiencies and inflammation.
