Part II
During week 1 I could only think of obesity, IBS and autoimmune disorders. I wasn’t sure exactly how the microbiome related to any of these but I knew that microorganisms worked with the body to help perform functions and that if certain microorganisms are lacking or unable to do their job, it might result in disease. This still holds true in my mind, but I have a much better understanding of this system. Additionally, I now have a longer list of diseases that may result from microbiome disruptions. Overall I now have a solid grasp on the importance of the microbiome and how the microbiome impacts overall health.
