PRESENTATION
​
THE MICROBIOME: THE ULTIMATE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21
In this enlightening presentation, Martha Carlin will explore the fascinating world of the microbiome and its profound influence on our overall health. Discover how the trillions of microorganisms living within us form a complex ecosystem that communicates and interacts with our genetic information, impacting various aspects of our well-being.
She will delve into the gut-brain axis and the emerging field of microbial endocrinology, unveiling the intricate ways in which our microbiome communicates with our brain and affects our mental health. Furthermore, she will examine the detrimental impact of glyphosate on the microbiome and minerals and enzymes, and discuss strategies to mitigate its effects.
She will explore the relationship between information and inflammation, shedding light on the concept of "garbage in, garbage out" and how molecular mimicry between microbes and food peptides can contribute to autoimmune diseases.
Lastly, she will explore the power of restoring the gut through fermented foods and targeted probiotics. Clinical evidence demonstrating the positive effects of probiotics on glucose metabolism will be presented, providing valuable insights into potential therapeutic interventions for metabolic disorders.​
