What does “70% of the immune system is in your gut” really mean?? 🧐The abundance of sources online can sometimes get so convoluted that instead of encouraging the layperson to actively know more about their gut… You kind of just give up. 🤷‍♀️But not today! 🙌In this week’s podcast, we have research microbiologist Kiran Krishnan (@kiranbiome) who will break down the super complicated nature of the microbiome’s relationship with our immune system using easy-to-follow, beginner-friendly analogies. In Kiran's words, the microbiome acts as the eyes and ears of the immune system. 👀👂He explained:🧬 The evolution of our immune system from being naive to protecting you from viruses and bacteria🦠 How your gut microbiome ‘tutors’ your immune system to work better🌿 What happens when you don’t have a healthy microbiome A much simpler version of how the COVID virus devastates immune response, especially those with comorbidities🐶 The top 5 things you can do to have a healthier microbiome (Hint: Your pets can do more than reduce your stress!)And SO much more!🎙Your immune system is an important topic that we cannot ignore, especially today. 👂So listen along as Kiran reveals the eye-opening story behind the gut-immune connection and how it impacts the future of the human race at the link in our bio!—————————————————✨ Get 15% off your first order of Goodness Lover vitamins & supplements!
