Q&A

What causes chronic fatigue and autoimmune diseases?

Chronic fatigue and autoimmune diseases are often caused by gut health issues, like a leaky gut and dysbiotic microbiome.

How does a leaky gut affect the immune system?

A leaky gut can lead to a hyperactive immune system, triggering chronic inflammation and autoimmune responses.

What role do mitochondria play in energy production?

Mitochondria are responsible for energy production in our cells, and their dysfunction can lead to fatigue and decreased overall energy levels.

Can diet and nutrition help restore gut health?

Yes, adopting a healthy diet and focusing on nutrition can support gut health and improve overall well-being.

How can I improve my energy levels and well-being?

By fixing your gut health, you can improve energy levels and overall well-being. This includes addressing leaky gut and promoting a healthy microbiome.
