Introduction
For many months now, I’ve been researching and listening to lectures about the human microbiome. My short, easy to digest (ha, ha, pun intended!) blog series is about how our gut microorganisms significantly influence all aspects of our health (and disease) and how to turn this knowledge into healthy new habits. I hope you find it helpful and I welcome any comments or questions.
This post is Part 1 of a 10-part series. Here is the outline of the series:
Part 1 – In the beginning
Part 2 – Functions of the microbiome
Part 3 – Microbiome and your immune system
Part 4 – Microbiome and antibiotics
Part 5 – Gut-brain communications
Part 6 – Microbiome and disease
Part 7 – New Tests and treatments
Part 8 – Probiotics and Prebiotics
Part 9 – Optimising your microbiome
Part 10 – Fermented food recipes
