MENTAL HEALTH
Research suggests
that poor gut health
may be associated
with increased levels
of stress, anxiety,
and depression.
WEIGHT FLUCTUATIONS
An unhealthy gut may
inhibit the absorption of
nutrients and the body’s
ability to control blood
sugar, which may lead to
weight loss or gain, and
related health issues.
LACK OF SLEEP
A microbiome
imbalance may affect
serotonin production
in the gut, making sleep
difficult or possibly even
causing insomnia.
FOOD INTOLERANCE
Research suggests that
an unhealthy gut may
make the digestion and
tolerance of certain
foods difficult, which
may lead to bloating,
gas, nausea, and more.
HOW GUT HEALTH
AFFECTS YOUR
OVERALL HEALTH
Maintaining a healthy gut microbiome helps to support a strong
immune system, digestive system, and more. An unhealthy and
out-of-balanced gut may cause a wide range of health problems.
Here are some health issues associated with an unhealthy gut.
SKIN HEALTH
A balanced gut may
help downgrade allergic
responses and decrease
inflammation, which may
lead to less eczema and
skin-related reactions.

PROBLEMS
Poor gut health may
cause or contribute to
diarrhea, constipation,
nausea, bloating,
heartburn, and irritable
bowel syndrome.
