it's inherited the microbiome. So you pass on the skeleton of the microbiome to offspring. Antibiotics and C-section save lives. We've both seen that. But they're massively overused and they're messing up the microbiome in ways we don't even appreciate. And people are being given options without really knowing what... is potentially happening because of this. Now, I don't know what causes autism.

Other smarter people may have ideas. But the researchers that did this study, and they're not no-name researchers, talking to Marty Blazer, who I think is the world expert on the microbiome. Yeah, Missing Microbes. Missing Microbes, great book. He told me that while they did not find an association with altering the microbiome and autism, they believe there is an association there.

They think maybe they haven't sampled enough children or something. Now, I don't know if he's right, but if he's right, that is a massive signal in the data that we should be following.

I'm chuckling a little bit. I mean, I love what you're saying, but I'm chuckling because I had this kid come in, a teenager who had the classic sort of irritable bowel, chronic abdominal pain. No one knows what it is, has had a million tests done. It doesn't show anything definitive. And I decided to take a lot of time with something we're not incentivized to do. Take a lot of time.

I listened to the patient. I didn't look at the EHR. And it turns out that the kid had that same profile. Born by C-section, constant antibiotics, unnecessarily, it sounded like, throughout their early childhood, especially in the first three years when the microbiome is being formed, and had eaten terrible food their whole life. And then the mom tells me,

This condition, which we just give this diagnosis of irritable bowel. How could this possibly happen to my son? Well, I wasn't there when you got all these choices, but you've also been feeding the kid shit for the last 12 years. And so we're shocked. And then we have this massive whack-a-mole medical industrial system that's going to
