#microbiome #guthealth #biohackerslab

In today's interview, we get a chance to talk about what the microbiome is and how these new discoveries have implicated the microbiome imbalance in diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's and even autoimmune disease.

If you know someone who is interested in learning more about the microbiome (and virome), as well as its role in health and a multitude of diseases including Alzheimer's, cancer and autoimmune disorders such as Crohn's, this interview is for them.

I enjoyed this interview with Amy as she sheds some light on new research and what it means for the way we think about disease and treatment. She believes that a paradigm shift is necessary to get at the root cause of illnesses and working with our immune system and keeping the microbiome in check should be the focus.
