well you as well you as well so you describe the gut as an ecosystem and i love it because i i do that too when i do webinars i'm talking about this rainforest and all the beautiful things in our gut but why don't we have you you know kind of describe it in in your words and how you describe it to people as being a an ecosystem and and really what is the microbiome for people

Yeah.

So the microbiome is basically a collection of a bunch of different organisms that live inside of our intestines, right? We also have microbiomes everywhere else on our body.

We are more bug than we are human cells.

So it's really important for us to respect them, love them, take care of them.

We don't think about that.

But most people, when they're referring to the microbiome, they're referring to the gut.

I mean, I've done coffee enemas and I couldn't hold one for four, for four hours.

Why don't you differentiate birth mode, breastfeeding, and of course, we're not trying to put any blame, but the maternal microbiome.

Absolutely.

Oh my goodness.

Okay.

So I love this stuff.

I just think it's fascinating.

So birth mode in general, right? And of course, none of this has to do with blame.

I think, and I know I may be giving you an anchor now, that we talk about all these R programs and they're great, but none of the R programs include the immune system on the other side of the gut.
