class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The human body is host to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK562894\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trillions of microbes<\/a>: bacteria, fungi, archaea and viruses collectively known as the <strong>microbiome<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These organisms contribute <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1038\/nature08821\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more than 150<\/a> times the genetic material of the human genome, expanding our capacity for digestion, nutrient production, immune resilience and even communication with the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When balanced, this community orchestrates harmony. When disrupted, it can contribute to chronic diseases such as <a href=\"https:\/\/dmsjournal.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s13098-024-01561-z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">diabetes<\/a>, obesity, <a href=\"https:\/\/gutpathogens.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s13099-019-0341-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IBS<\/a> and cardiovascular conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Modern science is only beginning to understand the breadth of its influence, from metabolic regulation and brain signaling to immune function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We approach the microbiome as both science and story.
