Hi guys and welcome to the Extra Dynamic podcast.

All right, hi guys. It's Ashley and today I am so excited for the topic of our podcast.

So I've actually got a surprising amount of DMs asking me to talk more

in depth about the gut microbiome. If you have listened to some of my past podcast, then you

know that this is something that I actually, oh gosh, I just got a notification, something that I actually

like just love to talk about. Um I was a bio like bio and psych

neurosciences I didn't like what was even my major it was like it was uh psychological sciences

so it was like biocyc and neurosciences I don't even know if that makes sense but I think I've

actually done bio like the majority of my college career my college time

and the other part of that I've been doing business just because I could not balance for the life

of me doing bio with YouTube um which is fine because I think I'm going to go in more of like

a business direction with my career after college.

But still, obviously, to this day, biology and things of that sort still really interest me.

So I forget what podcast I last talked about the gut microbiome, but if you don't know what it is,

obviously I'm going to explain that today.

It's basically like in our gut, we have tons of microorganisms, archaea, bacteria, fungi,

viruses that are in our human digestive tract, like our gastrointestinal system.

And these microorganisms, I always like just only say bacteria by accident but

actually like a whole group of microorganisms um that live there have such like a profound effect

on our entire body like like our literal like livelihood pretty much like just our risk of

getting like diseases even our emotions our happiness like

there's just such a huge correlation between our gut organisms and just like how we are as people
