The Microbiome–Mitochondria Axis: Two Energy Systems, One Conversation

Your gut bacteria and your mitochondria are evolutionary cousins — both descended from ancient microorganisms — and they spend their lives in a sophisticated chemical dialogue. When that dialogue breaks down, the consequences ripple through every system.
