8. Fatigue and Low Energy: The Microbial Metabolism

Chronic fatigue and low energy levels can also be traced back to the microbiome. The gut bacteria play a role in producing and regulating energy. An imbalance can lead to inefficient energy production, resulting in fatigue. Additionally, a disrupted microbiome can lead to poor nutrient absorption, depriving the body of essential vitamins and minerals needed for energy. This can create a sense of persistent tiredness, regardless of sleep or rest. By focusing on restoring microbiome balance, individuals can experience improved energy levels and vitality.
