We have heard about diet and the microbiome. You are what you eat after all. What if there was something else that was not discussed as much? It turns out that light has a MAJOR effect on the gut microbiome. I had the pleasure of speaking with Neurosurgeon and Quantum Biology Theoretisist Dr Jack Kruse on light and the microbiome. He discussed with me that we are just at the tip of the iceberg with the gut microbiome research, how light affects depression, a new study on the Hazda tribe by Jeff Leech, and how you can help to improve your gut health with sunlight.

A dysfunctional Gut Microbiome has the ability to help or hurt us in many areas of life. Approximately 10 million Australians suffer from some type of digestive discomfort. That is almost half of the population! What could be the cause of it? I have recently had the pleasure of talking with Dr Jason Hawrelak to understand more about the gut microbiome. He is a leader in gut health research and has over 17-years of clinical experience. He will be sharing his knowledge about probiotics, stool testing, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, diet, and steps you can take to improve your gut health.

Have you ever wondered why gut health is so important? If you have then you aren’t alone. Many people contact our companies Nourishme Organics and Allele Microbiome asking these same questions. Coming from a scientific background, I know the in’s and out’s of gut health and why it's important. BUT it doesn’t help if I can’t explain it to the rest of the population.

If you are curious on how to beat depression and anxiety with psychological approaches and with gut health, then read on.

Some of these bacteria can be associated with a disease, however, the majority is essential for your immune system, weight control and many other health aspects.
