Many of us focus on eating well, exercising, and getting a good night's sleep to achieve better health. Yet, the environment around us plays a significant and often underestimated role.

In this context, environmental toxins represent a growing concern for the health of our gut flora.
The trillions of microbes living in our gut, collectively known as gut flora or microbiota, have become an area of intense scientific study in recent years.
