Magnificent Microbes!

As we continue our series about ways to slow our march toward the end of life, our topic this week is about our microbiome. You have probably heard of this term, but may wonder what it means and how it applies to you.

Our gut microbiome are microbes, and their genetic material is found in our gastrointestinal tract. Bacteria in our gut affect everything from our digestion to our mental health.

What does Our Microbiome do for Us?

Marianne shares the evolution of our microbiome and how it develops diversity. This is important because different bacteria help us digest food, produce vitamins, increase absorption, helps our immunity, and prevent bad bacteria from taking over.

Why is Balance Important?

When something disrupts the balance, such as antibiotics, it can allow "opportunistic growth" of organisms such as Clostridium difficile (C. diff), a germ that causes diarrhea and colitis.

How to Increase your Gut Diversity

We talk about several ways to foster diversity in your microbiome. Listen for several tips!
