The gut contains 10 times more health-determining bacteria than the rest of the body which means it works very hard to protect us from infection, support our metabolism, and promote healthy digestion and elimination.

Given the gut’s central role in immune regulation (via the gut-associated lymphoid tissue, barrier function, microbiota interactions), it makes sense that intestinal parasites may have outsized influence in RA.

A good night’s sleep is just as important to your health as eating a balanced diet and exercising.

Studies have shown that there is a strong link between poor sleep and weight gain.
