Today, in scientific circles, when it comes to longevity and the mechanisms of aging, a key focus is on telomeres - protective "caps" at the ends of our chromosomes. With each cell division, telomeres shorten, and when they reach a critical minimum, the cell loses its ability to renew itself and dies.

The team at Ediens has been studying the connection between the gut microbiome and human health for several years. One of the most common complaints we hear from our clients is bloating after eating.

You’ve probably heard the phrase: “We are what we eat.” But modern science says it more precisely: we are also those who live in us. Until 2016, it was believed that there were many times more bacteria in our bodies than our own cells.

Today, the gut is called our “second brain” and a super organ, as it houses over 75% of the body’s immune cells. Our gastrointestinal tract is home to thousands of species of microorganisms that determine our eating habits, immune responses, weight, and even mood.
