Did you know that your gut is home to an astonishing 30 to 50 trillion bacteria and other microbes? This bustling community, known as the gut microbiome, includes around 1,000 different bacterial strains along with viruses, fungi and even tiny parasites. Together, they form a complex ecosystem that plays a crucial role in your overall health and wellbeing.
At Goodwood Health & Wellbeing we are taking the latest science and expertise from our Gut Health Programme to explore what’s going on inside your body. Understanding and nurturing the gut microbiome is at the heart of how we support our guests’ wellbeing, helping them unlock lasting health benefits from the inside out.

Why is the gut microbiome so important?
In an ideal world your gut is dominated by commensal and beneficial bacteria, sometimes called the “good gut bugs.” These helpful microbes work tirelessly to keep potentially harmful or pathogenic microbes in check. When the balance is right your gut microbiome acts as a powerful guardian of your health. But modern life such as stress, poor diet, antibiotics and environmental toxins can disrupt this delicate balance, reducing the diversity of your beneficial gut bacteria and impacting your wellbeing.
What does your gut microbiome actually do?
The gut microbiome is far more than a passive collection of microbes, it’s an active player in many vital body processes including:
- Aiding digestion helping break down complex foods so your body can absorb nutrients
- Educating your immune system training your body to distinguish friend from foe reducing the risk of allergies and autoimmune diseases
- Outcompeting pathogens preventing harmful microbes from taking hold by occupying space and resources
- Synthesising essential vitamins like Vitamin B12 which is critical for brain health and energy
- Regulating gene expression through epigenetics your gut bugs can influence how your genes behave
- Balancing mood and brain chemistry producing neurotransmitters that affect anxiety, depression and overall mental wellbeing
- Managing hormone levels supporting liver health to detoxify and neutralise toxins and excess hormones
- Suppressing cancer cell growth helping your body absorb and neutralise cancerous cells
- Calming inflammation reducing chronic inflammatory responses linked to many diseases
- Influencing metabolism controlling appetite, fat storage and fat burning which impacts weight management
