Bloating, gas, irregular digestion, and skin issues may all have one thing in common: your gut.

Your gut isn’t just where food gets digested. It’s home to trillions of microbes that play a key role in how you feel, sleep, and look.

Did you know?�

✔️ 90–95% of serotonin—your “feel-good” neurotransmitter—is made in the gut, not the brain
✔️ About 80% of your immune system is based in the gut
✔️ Microbial imbalances can lead to the production of fermentation by-products and metabolic waste, which may trigger inflammation that manifests as acne, eczema, or skin rashes
✔️ Poor gut health has been linked to sleep disturbances, mood disorders, and chronic fatigue

Taking care of your gut isn’t just about digestion—it’s foundational to your whole-body health. Click the link below to book your next appointment with Dr. Yoon at our PinPoint Infinity Health clinic in downtown Toronto.
