You are a reflection of your environment. Yeah. And that's the totality of that environment. And if the environment is diseased, then it translates into disease within your own body. The term that we would use for this is superorganism. You are a superorganism. You are more than Andre. You are Andre plus 38 trillion friends that are there.

And most of those friends are working and fighting on a daily basis to support you because they want you to succeed. Because if you do well, then they do well. So that's a beautiful thing. You know, I think a lot of these things, you mentioned a few things there. You mentioned cravings and intuitions. These are things that there's emerging evidence to suggest that the gut is the origin.

So, you know, it's not easy to prove, but we have data, for example, on people that crave specific foods where the gut is producing certain chemicals that motivate the consumption of that particular food. Why? Because if you want that food and that's what you need to survive, you're going to try to do something to to get that person to do it.

Yeah. Sometimes actually going to the point of consuming soil Because the soil has minerals that their body actually needs for healthy pregnancy. And there's a natural element to that. It's quite fascinating. But also, a woman's microbiome is radically and dynamically changing throughout the pregnancy.

in a way that is designed by nature to support the baby, which is quite fascinating because what advantage do the microbes get by supporting this particular baby? I'm not really sure. We could debate that because I suppose if you were gonna say, what do the microbes get? Well, potentially a new home.

Because when the baby passes through the birth canal, many of those microbes will carry on with the baby and then become the new microbiome for the new person.

Basically. The womb is not totally sterile. There is some evidence to suggest that there are some microbes in play, both in the placenta and the babies being exposed, but really the baby has not been exposed to the outside world until the water breaks. When the water breaks, microbes enter. And then this process really begins.

But it's interesting to think about that during pregnancy, a woman's body obviously changes dramatically. And I have four kids, so we've been through this many times as a family. And the microbiome is shifting in a way that explains the bodily changes that are happening in a woman who's pregnant.
