Your gut continuously decides what to let in and what to block, while managing trillions of microbes that shape inflammation throughout your body. 🍃
4 key mechanisms:
1️⃣ Barrier Function – A healthy gut lining blocks harmful substances; when leaky, it triggers immune reactions and systemic inflammation.
2️⃣ Microbiome Balance – Beneficial bacteria calm inflammation; harmful ones fuel it. Dysbiosis often accompanies chronic conditions.
3️⃣ Immune Training – Early microbial exposure teaches immune tolerance. Poor diversity = overreactive inflammation.
4️⃣ Inflammatory Messaging – Gut signals travel via the bloodstream and vagus nerve, influencing inflammation in distant tissues.
Healing from within:
✔ Remove inflammatory triggers
✔ Repair the gut barrier
✔ Rebalance the microbiome
✔ Restore digestion and reinoculate with beneficial species
Addressing gut health means addressing inflammation at its root. 🌿
