The Microbiome Connection in Depression and Anxiety
We are living in a time where we have so many mood disorders. And there is such a strong microbiome connection that I really would love for you just to speak on that and help us understand how the microbiome really ties into our thinking and our moods. We're currently tracking somewhere around 46% of children in the United States and other Western countries with an aquatic disorder or disease by the time they're 18, 46% one and two children. That's in contrast to if you looked at the entire population in the 1960s and those Western developed worlds, we had chronic disease rates of about 4%. So we've gone from 4% of adults to 46% of kids having these conditions.
