And I wanna say this first, correlation is not causation, meaning just because two things are correlated does not necessarily mean one caused the other, right? But that said, I'm going to share with you some data. And I think that what's been emerging is more recent. I really started hearing about this in 2020. I had heard about it in the past.

You know, there was some data that I saw back in 2017 actually surrounding the topic of obesity and how even if you have a friend who becomes obese on the Internet and you have an increased risk of becoming obese yourself just by interacting with them even on the internet. And I was like, that's crazy. So I don't know how true that is. And I don't know if that's been disproven.

But in 2020, there was an article that came out. And at the same time, I was talking to some microbiome expert friends at a conference. And they shared with me a study where one person in a family took an antibiotic and everybody else's microbiome, gut microbiome in the family shifted, even though they didn't take the antibiotic, just the one person did. And I was like, whoa, that's crazy.

Our microbiomes are contagious. It's not just fungal infections and skin things that we can share, but truly our microbiomes are contagious to the point of our metabolic health being contagious. And I know that is tough for some people to hear and they want to get really angry about it, but we have mice studies to show this.

They took mice and they put an obese mouse in with lean mice and the lean mice became obese. And conversely, there's some data points to support that when an obese person, and I think even in the mice, are surrounded by or sort of more than not of their friend's cohort or their surroundings are lean, they may tend towards more becoming lean. So this is not made up, this is happening.

I'll find the mice study and I will put it in the show notes and you can look at it. It's crazy, there's pictures. So anyway, in 2020, this was written up in Science Magazine and the question was, are non-communicable diseases communicable? Numerous non-communicable diseases could have a transmissible microbial component.

The abstract reads, the past century has seen a profound decrease in mortality across the world accompanied by a marked shift from communicable diseases such as infectious microbes to non-communicable diseases. They call these NCDs, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and respiratory diseases.
