The Probiotic Generation

The Probiotic Generation

You are an ecosystem! The diversity of plants and animals provide resiliency to different ecosystems across the globe. Similarly, our human microbial ecosystem relies on us to support its diversity to maintain our health. Our body has trillions of microbes living in and on it. These microbes are collectively known as the microbiome. Our understanding and awareness of it is relatively new in the context of human health and medicine. But just like the diversity in nature that allows the ecosystems to thrive, the diversity in our microbiome allows our physical, mental, and emotional health to thrive. True health, prevention, and healing can be found when we realize the human body as an ecosystem. This is why we decided to create this podcast to help you understand the amazing role and universe of the microbiome and its effect on your health

    Episode 27 - Ocean, Beaches and The Microbiome - The Probiotic Generation

    It is summertime and that can only mean one thing: Beach, here I go! Since it is the sunniest time of the year, we thought we’d talk about whether the beach and the ocean are good for our health, and more specifically, our microbiome. Although it is not a surprise, everything in nature is an ecosystem and needs to be balanced for it to work optimally, and bodies of water are not exempt. Today you will learn about lakes microbes, ocean microbes, and even sand microbes and we will discuss some other studies as we talk about all this. You will find the links of the studies below.
