“We also know that our internal proclivities towards imbalance or balance in our lives, in our health, is deeply, profoundly influenced by our social environment, by our natural environment. That is precisely what is being unearthed for microbiome science. For example, it is now well established that our gut microbiome is primarily influenced by the people that we live with, that would be the people we’re breaking bread with, the people were having healthy or not healthy social relationships with, the spaces we inhabit, the way those spaces are kept, etc.” – Dr. Scott Blossom

“Not only is our health from the immune system point of view being directly influenced by the gut, but because of the production of neurotransmitters, and because of the regular communication that happens between the gut and the brain, a substantial amount of the influences that affect our psychologies are also emerging from the gut itself.” – Dr. Robert Svoboda
