The digestive system and dysbiosis
by Marcelle Pick, OB/GYN NP

The major function of the digestive system is to break down food and provide a means by which the nutrients can be absorbed in the body. Nutrients that are liberated by this process allow the body to grow, heal and function on a day-to-day basis.

Unfortunately it is very common for this process to be disrupted (known as dysbiosis). A wide range of factors can influence how well the digestive system function — including dietary habits, medications, and emotional wellness — and most people are affected by at least one of these factors. In fact, an estimated two-thirds of women suffer from gastrointestinal problems, which often leads to malabsorption.
