The Complexity of the Microbiome
Our genetic makeup is less of a differentiator than the diversity of the microbiome, which contains trillions of dramatically different microbes irrespective of genetic similarities. These microbes act as mini-pharmacies, producing unique chemicals that significantly impact our immune system, brains, and overall health. Understanding food and nutrition as chemicals converted by microbes and studying these metabolites through metabolomics simplifies the complexity of the microbiome. The genetic revolution has enabled accurate measurement of the microbiome, uncovering 75-80% of the microbes at a significantly reduced cost. The microbiome has vast potential in nutrition, pharmacy, disease treatment, and other areas due to the production of impactful chemicals we have co-evolved with.
