Dysbiosis – When Your Gut Microbiome Falls Out of Balance

If you’ve been struggling with bloating, skin issues, fatigue, or mood swings and nothing seems to help you might be dealing with dysbiosis.

Dysbiosis means your gut bacteria are out of balance. Not just too many “bad” bugs but not enough good ones. And when this happens, your entire body feels it: your digestion weakens, your immune system becomes reactive, and toxins begin to build up in your blood and lymph.

But the good news is: dysbiosis can be reversed naturally, gently, and from the root.

What Is Dysbiosis?

Your gut is like a garden. It needs the right bacteria, fungi, and yeasts living in harmony to keep things functioning. But antibiotics, processed foods, stress, sugar, and toxic exposure can wipe out the good bacteria allowing harmful ones to take over.

When this happens, we call it dysbiosis.

Signs of Gut Dysbiosis:

• Bloating, gas, or cramping

• Constipation or diarrhea

• Skin rashes, eczema, or acne

• Depression or anxiety

• Strong food cravings

• Frequent infections

• Brain fog or low energy

• Bad breath or body odor

• Difficulty digesting fiber-rich foods

What the Traditional Healers Teach

• Barbara O’Neill teaches that gut healing starts with removing irritants, restoring healthy flora, and strengthening digestion not just taking probiotics.

• Dr. Sebi believed in cleansing the mucus and acids that destroy gut flora and feeding the body alkaline, plant-based foods.

• Dr. Robert Morse emphasized the role of the lymphatic system saying you cannot fix gut flora if waste and acids are trapped in the tissues.

• Dr. Hulda Clark linked dysbiosis with parasites and heavy metal toxicity, encouraging regular cleansing to rebalance internal ecology.

Lifestyle Tips for Microbiome Repair

• Remove processed foods, alcohol, and dairy

• Avoid overusing antibacterial products or antibiotics

• Walk barefoot on the earth (grounding helps the nervous system and gut)

• Use fermented foods only after fungal or bacterial overgrowth has been addressed

Dysbiosis isn’t a life sentence. Your gut wants to be in balance it just needs the right conditions to rebuild. With cleansing herbs, mineral-rich nourishment, and a slower pace of living, your body will naturally begin to correct itself.
