W was right when he said "I TRUST MY GUT"

Our Co-Brain

 

What are all those little guys thinking?

More and more discoveries are pooping popping out about our enormous, complex, co-evolved microbiomes. One of the most exciting (to excitable me) discoveries is how much our gut biomes affect out brains, particularly our moods.  

There's this 

How gut bacteria may affect anxiety

 (Click if you're anxious)

And this:

Microbes can play games with the mind

... And in the scientific journal Microbiome, there are more research articles than you can shake a fecal transplant at! (See below)

BOTTOM LINE (Ahem)... All this and more about the role of the microbiome in our health and sanity is (careful here) flowing out of the science/medicine community. It is, IMHO, a monster discovery zone, clearly one of the most important areas of scientific pursuit, right up there with the findings coming from the Large Hadron Collider, NASA, LIGO, Altacama, et al, and will have more impact on you and me personally than all those high price endeavors combined.

Or so I PREDICT!  (I just love to predict.)
