Yeah, I agree.

I mean, I think something that I find so frustrating right now in the world we live in is that I think that what we think about the microbiome is very tempered.

And we understand a lot about certain associations with diseases and maybe the upregulation of certain microbes.

But when you as a consumer, as a patient, hear about this, see it on social media, it feels very black and white.

It feels like

Let's check your microbiome.

If you have too much of this bacteria, we're going to cut it out.

If you don't have enough of this bacteria that's bad, let's give you a supplement and we'll fix it.

And the science is just not there yet.

But we've started monopolizing on this and profiting off of it a little bit too early.

And the way I think about the microbiome,

just in simplistic terms here is it's like a garden, right?

And if you have this garden and you imagine what I want are a bunch of flowers and you start seeing weeds growing, you might just pluck out all those weeds because we don't want them.

And let me sprinkle some beautiful rose seeds that I do want.

And it's not gonna be that simple.

What if those roses aren't growing, not because the seeds weren't there, but because the soil pH was wrong, because you're not getting enough sunlight, right?

And I think sometimes when we think about hashtag gut health or just the gut in general,

Lately, all we talk about is the microbiome and we just really focus on that.

But remember, the microbiome, these trillions of organisms, they exist in this ecosystem that is part of us.

We have to think about how these microbes are interacting with our individual immune systems, with our nerves.
