Cancer & Gut Health—What You Need To Know!

It's a really interesting report today out of the University of Virginia's Cancer Research Center. They are reporting that they have found that certain imbalances in the gut microbiome of women undergoing certain treatments for ovarian cancer, that the microbiome imbalance is actually interfering with and creating resistance to their treatments. Why do we care about this? Because, again, it shows just how vital it is to have good gut health for overall well being. And this is also why we focus so much on gut health here at Pinnacle, because not only does it affect our ability to be well overall, but it also affects things like joint pain, autoimmune disease, hormonal imbalances, things like pcos if you're a woman, lots of other problems all get traced back to the gut microbiome. So if you're having any issues and you want to know if this affects you, give us a call here at Pinnacle Integrative Orthopedics. We'd love to hear from you. We have a really nice comprehensive testing package that we offer for patients who want to know more information about their own health, especially if they need that, in order to make a decision whether or not to become part of our patient team. We look forward to hearing from you.
