Todays’ diet and lifestyle has greatly reduced the complexity of our gut microflora as increasing populations of pathogenic bacteria are feeding on the over-consumed simple sugars at the expense of fiber-feeding probiotic bacteria. This imbalance rears several whole-body physiological imbalances that ultimately lead to disease development:
- Reduced immunity
- Pro-inflammatory state
- Dysregulated neurological signaling
- Reduced bile metabolism
- Reduced insulin sensitivity
- Increase circulating blood glucose and triglycerides
- Reduced breakdown of obesity-caused fats
- Heightened cholesterol levels
