Bacteria is all around us – including inside and outside our bodies. In years gone by, beneficial bacteria were only considered in relation to our gut, however, as it turns out, we are completely covered in a balance of good and bad bacteria.

There is a bidirectional relationship between the gut and the brain which is termed the gut-brain axis. There is also a balance of bacteria on our skin which maintains skin health and prevents infections and bacterial overgrowth.
