In this episode of Revolution Health Radio (RHR) we discuss “Is a Disrupted Gut Microbiome at the Root of Modern Disease?—with Dr. Justin Sonnenburg." Dr. Justin Sonnenburg makes a powerful argument for viewing our microbiota as the control center for human biology—that our microbiota are not just impacting digestion and absorption, but have systemic impacts on our immune system, our metabolism, and our brain chemistry. We discuss the latest research on the microbiome, the strong connection between low microbiome diversity and modern Western diseases, and how people can support their own microbiome health.

In this episode, we cover:

03:25 Just how many microbial cells are there?
11:38 What are the primary functions of the microbiota?
15:59 The connection between microbiota and chronic disease
27:14 How do you define a healthy microbiota?
30:36 The connection between low microbial diversity and disease
35:24 Can we manipulate our microbiota?
39:40 What inspired you to write your book?
