Downstream effects

Hi

By travelling back to the source of your overall health and addressing the imbalances in your gut, you can fundamentally change the downstream effects that have kept you overweight and unhappy for so long.

--- What does "downstream effects" mean?

It seems a rather unusual way of putting it, but my guess is that "downstream" refers to the lower parts of the digestive system.

To me, the meaning is “By looking at the origin of your problem you can understand it and stop it from continuing.” It is visualizing it as a river (upstream) and the future as downstream.

Hmm .. yeah, on second thoughts, maybe "downstream" does mean something like "consequential"!
