The Gut Microbiome Foundation is dedicated to advancing understanding and practical applications of gut health science, emphasizing its profound impact on mental health, immunity, chronic disease, and overall well-being. The gut microbiome, a complex ecosystem of trillions of microbes, regulates critical processes such as neurotransmitter production, inflammation, and metabolism, linking gut health to conditions like anxiety, depression, autoimmune disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. Despite its importance, research into the microbiome remains underfunded, particularly in light of reduced National Health Institute (NIH) budgets. To address this, the Foundation focuses on educating individuals and professionals, advocating for policy changes, and supporting innovative research and resources for those affected by gut microbiome conditions. Committed to reshaping medicine by addressing root causes of disease, the Foundation is driving efforts to ensure breakthroughs in gut health continue to transform healthcare.
