this is a good summary of how important the gut biome is. Ninety percent of your body ain't human. Take care of it. It will take care of you.


“This is an exciting time, and [this research] is extremely important — only 10% of the human body is human. The other 90% are microbes.

An analogy might be comparing the discovery of penicillin and the beginning of antibiotic treatments to where gut research is now except scientists have better tools. C dif now and autoimmune disease in the near future.
