Our microbiome - the complex ecosystem of bacteria, viruses and other microbes inside us - is vital for our health and wellbeing. An invisible powerhouse whose potential we-re only just beginning to understand, it influences our mood and appetite, determines how fast we run and even who we choose as a partner.
In this ground-breaking book, microbiome expert Dr James Kinross takes us on a guided tour of our extraordinary inner universe and highlights the damage we inflict when we don-t protect it. Showing through cutting-edge research and years of clinical experience, the practical steps we can all take to optimise the microbiome to live better, healthier lives.<
