Dysbiosis refers to an imbalance in the microbiome – the trillions of organisms that live in and on your body, mostly in your GI tract. This imbalance can lead to overgrowth of some organisms, undergrowth of others, and a change in the metabolic activity of the microorganisms. That metabolic activity determines the byproducts that your microbes are making; things like hormones, and vitamins, and neurotransmitters that are involved in virtually all of your bodily functions. And that’s why dysbiosis doesn't just affect your gut – it’s associated with a wide range of problems, including autoimmune disorders, skin conditions, mental health problems – and more.
