The change of seasons is not only a change in the weather outside the window, but also a profound transformation within our bodies. Our gastrointestinal tract and the trillions of microorganisms that inhabit it (the microbiome) are evolutionarily adapted to seasonal changes in diet.

Modern science considers the gastrointestinal tract (GI) not just as a tube for digesting food, but as the most important "superorgan" of our body. The intestines are home to at least 75% of the body's immune structures and cells, which continuously interact with trillions of microorganisms - our microbiome. It is this delicate symbiosis that ensures immune stability and tolerance to various antigens.

When we talk about family traditions, we most often recall shared holidays, values, and, of course, eating habits. However, modern science suggests looking at the family from a completely new angle - as a single microbial ecosystem. Studies prove that the composition of our intestinal microflora depends not so much on genetics as on the environment: the greatest influence on the formation of our microbiome is who we live with.

The thyroid gland is the main energy center of our body. It regulates the metabolic rate, body temperature, heart rate, and the overall level of our vital energy. When a person experiences chronic fatigue, apathy, weight gain, foggy head, and hair loss, doctors most often refer them to check thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4). And very often they detect hypothyroidism (decreased gland function) or autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT).
