Behind closed eyes, the brain is carrying out a carefully coordinated night shift. And research into the microbiome raises an intriguing question: how might the activity in our gut influence the sleep that gives this work its opportunity?

When discussing chronic neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease, conventional medicine frequently focuses on a single narrative: dopamine depletion. While managing neurotransmitters remains a core part of traditional care, emerging physical chemistry and microbiome research reveal a far broader picture.
