Your microbiome: a unique ecosystem
Billions of bacteria live in your intestines, divided into hundreds of different species. Together they form your microbiome: a personal ecosystem that is unique to every person, just like a fingerprint.
Many of these bacteria are essential for your health. They help with the digestion of food, support your immune system and play a role in energy, inflammation and even mood.
A healthy microbiome is not about "good" or "bad" bacteria, but about balance.
How does the microbiome get out of balance?
Your microbiome can be disrupted by, for example:
- Antibiotics
- Long-term stress
- Chemotherapy
- Infections
- Unhealthy diet
- Chronic conditions
Sometimes the microbiome recovers on its own. But for some people, that disturbance remains for a long time.
A disturbed microbiome is increasingly associated with a variety of complaints, such as:
- Intestinal complaints
- Fatigue
- Allergies
- Skin problems
- Brain fog
- Chronic inflammation
That doesn't mean that the microbiome is always the cause, but it can play an important role.
What can you notice about that?
Why is every microbiome different?
No two people have exactly the same microbiome. That is why a standard probiotic sometimes works for one person and not for another.
What someone needs depends on, among other things:
- The composition of the microbiome;
- Medical history;
- Lifestyle;
- Pattern of complaints;
- And other health factors.
Personal treatment therefore requires customization.
Why a tailor-made treatment?
Many probiotics contain standard combinations of bacterial strains. These do not always fit well with the unique profile of your microbiome and complaints.
At Microbiome Center, practitioners, pharmacists and researchers work together on a personalized treatment. Based on your microbiome analysis and medical situation, a personal recipe can be compiled, often combined with nutritional advice.
The bacterial strains that are used are selected on the basis of scientific studies and tailored to your personal situation, in the right combination and dosage.
Scientifically substantiated, guided by a practitioner and tailored to your microbiome.
