You Are an Ecosystem: The Science of the Gut Microbiome

You are a living ecosystem — a superorganism made up of trillions of microbes that influence everything from digestion and immunity to inflammation, mood, and even brain function.

This hidden world inside you is called the gut microbiome, and it may be one of the most important (and misunderstood) systems in your entire body.

In this video, we explore the science of the human microbiome — how humans and microbes co-evolved over millions of years, why modern life is disrupting this ancient ecosystem, and what happens when we starve our inner garden through ultra-processed diets and low fiber intake.

We also break down groundbreaking research from Stanford University showing why simply “eating more fiber” isn’t always enough, and why fermented foods may play a powerful role in restoring microbial diversity and reducing chronic inflammation.

You’ll learn:

1. What the gut microbiome really is
2. Why your body is more microbe than human
3. How modern diets are damaging microbial diversity
4. The difference between fiber and fermented foods
5. A simple, practical strategy to support your inner ecosystem

Understanding your gut microbiome isn’t just about digestion. It’s about understanding who you really are at a biological level.

Because you’re not just a body.
You’re an ecosystem.
