The balance of microbes in your gut affects everything, well beyond digestion.
Gut dysbiosis refers to an imbalance in the microbial ecosystem of the digestive tract, too many harmful organisms relative to beneficial ones. The gut microbiome influences immune function, neurotransmitter production, hormone metabolism, inflammation levels, and detoxification capacity, making gut health foundational to whole-body health, not just digestive comfort.
Dysbiosis is commonly driven by chronic infections, antibiotic use, poor diet, chronic stress, and environmental toxin exposure. Restoring microbial balance is a foundational step in Dr. Jaban's root cause approach, and often a prerequisite to effectively addressing other layers of chronic illness, because the gut's ability to function directly affects the rest of the body's capacity to heal.
