We disrupt our microbiomes by lacking nutrients and fiber in your diet, lack of exercise, not getting enough sleep, having too much anxiety, do use many medications and antibiotics, having a long time spent indoors in contact with man-made material can also turn into a disruption in our microbiome. Genetic factors as well as over exposure to toxic household cleaning products, agricultural pesticides and herbicides and cosmetic products not designed with your microbiome in mind can lead to all manner of symptoms. That’s why I decided to host the Engineering the Microbiome Summit from September 26 until October 2. You can tune in live and for free to the Engineering your Microbiome summit where I have interviews with more than 40 industry experts: physicians, nurses, chiropractors, nutritionists, all that help us to engineer healthy microbiome that can prevent and reverse both physical and mental illness Head to www.lindseyelmore.com/microbiome to save the date and get signed up for the Engineering your Microbiome summit to sign up today! __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ We hope you enjoyed this episode.

These are natural processes that respond to light and dark and affect most living things, including animals, plants, and microbes.

Chronobiology is the study of circadian rhythms, and these biological

0:25.3

clocks that are inside of us are our natural timing devices, regulating the cycle of our

circadian rhythm. They are composed of specific molecules that interact with the cells in

0:40.6

our body, and nearly every tissue and every organ contains a biological clock. Researchers have

identified similar genes in people, fruit flies, mice, plants, fungi, and several other organisms that show that we all have a very similar molecular circadian clock.

My guest today is all about how do we fully embrace the power of the downstate, how sleep and exercise can balance out
