Microbiome Examination
Our "second brain," as the bacteria residing in the colon are nicknamed, is made up of many microorganisms and represents the most significant part of microbial colonization of the human body (several kilograms). It consists of a highly dynamic collection of both beneficial and pathogenic microorganisms.
The balance of microorganisms in the intestines is easily disrupted (stress, unhealthy diet, medications, antibiotics, etc.) and plays a role in the development of inflammatory, metabolic, autoimmune, cancerous, psychological disorders, and even obesity, for example.
