The gut microbiome: the health game-changer

"Feel good, live better" – in this podcast episode, Dr. Jürgen Eck talks about an organ that is still underestimated: the gut microbiome.

It is an underestimated but extremely important organ: Over 70 percent of the immune system is generated here and about 95 percent of the happiness hormone serotonin. Just two examples of why the gut microbiome is so crucial for our health. The biotechnologist, microbiome expert and co-founder of Health Standard Solutions Dr. Jürgen Eck talks in the latest episode of FEEL GOOD, LIVE BETTER about the latest studies indicating that the microbiome is linked with Parkinson's and even Alzheimer's diseases; he explains how exercise, sleep, and stress affect gut health and what the difference is between classic and so-called precision probiotics.
