And the exciting thing is we're beginning to find out what it takes to give each of these bacteria what they need to grow and prosper. It's not enough to just swallow these bacteria. I can assure you, you got to know

what they want to eat you got to know what the bacteria next to them is making that they also need to eat and so it's a complex recipe and since i was trained as a chef by my mother you just have to figure out all the ingredients that make the perfect cake and that's what's going to be exciting

So they can go to GundryMD.com, my supplement food company, DrGundry.com, all about me. Got two YouTube channels, Instagram. Hopefully I appear when people are surfing the web, waving at them with some wonderful something to talk about. And you can get the book wherever books are sold. I've had multiple New York Times bestsellers, so they're in most bookstores.

Well, you know, it's called The Gut-Brain Paradox. And like my other kind of paradox books, the idea... is that much of our thought processes, believe it or not, are controlled by these little one-cell organisms that live in us, on us, even in our brain, and that it's hard for most people to grasp that single-cell organisms have the power

to manipulate this giant complex organism and, if you will, make us do their bidding for better or worse. And that we're actually a, what's called a symbiotic organism that we exist for the benefit of the other people who live in us, that is our microbiome. And if everything's going right, they exist for our benefit.

But like the book says, unfortunately, things have gotten all cattywampus, as the old expression was, that we've not looked out for their welfare. And quite honestly, they're not looking out for our welfare. And maybe we can get that back to where we can all love each other again. And the book goes into how to do that.

So here's the crazy thing. The microbiome, we have at least 100 trillion bacteria that live in our gut. We have, there's probably 10,000 different species that are still being identified. And that has nothing to do with the funguses and viruses and molds that live in us. We have over 700 different organisms in our mouth. We have over 1,000 different organisms that live in our skin.

And we have these guys living in every orifice that communicates with the outside world. So, for instance, guys, our prostate has its own microbiome. Ladies, your breast has its own microbiome, and so on and so forth. And we're beginning to realize that this collection has been there for as long as there have been animals, believe it or not.

Termites have their own microbiome, and fun fact, termites cannot digest wood. They can eat wood, but they depend on their microbiome to digest the wood for them. And that's just one example. We are dependent in many, many ways on our microbiome to digest foods that we eat, to protect us from foods that we eat. And what's really startling
