A New Revolution for Your Health: Microbiome Medicine Part 1

The Gut Connection

With the widespread availability of gene tests such as "23 and Me" and others, many have explored the details of their unique genetic makeup. But did you know that these tests show only a portion of your genes. Indeed, you are a "Superorganism" because not only do your inherited genes play a role in your health, but the genetic makeup of your microbiome has a big part in overall health as well since the genetic composition of your microbiome is something that can be used for more precise evaluation of your overall health risks. Even better, the genetic information from your gut microbiome can be utilized in designing personalized, unique treatment regimens for existing health conditions. In part 1 of this 2 part episode, Dr. Jerby explores the emerging research for what he considers to be the next revolution in healthcare: Microbiome Medicine.
