Your Amazing Microbiome | Janet Jacks, Founder | London | at Wed, Jul 30, 2025 05:30 PM EDT

Up to 90% of the cells within your body are not human. They are microbes and bacteria known as the microbiome. A miniature world made up of trillions of microscopic organisms – a whole separate ecology that is inextricably involved with yours. When they flourish, you flourish. Your microbiome has been called the ‘second brain’. Some refer to it as a ‘forgotten organ’. Though there is still much to learn, there has been an explosion of research about this fascinating and important area of health. It plays an important role at every age and stage in digestion, immunity, mood, allergies, brain health, energy, weight management, and much more. What are some of the factors that undermine gut health? As Dr. Michelle Perro, MD, reminds us, “Each of us possesses the divine gift for self healing.” Let’s explore what steps we can take to support and build a healthy microbiome.
