Two speakers explore how your microbiome can be changed through lifestyle choices, unlike your fixed genes. They discuss biohacking techniques that reshape your gut bacteria and improve biological function.
It's like, oh, your body's doing this, not you. And it changes a lot, I would just say. And it's one of the biggest shifts in my mental awareness to become a biohacker.
Absolutely. It's so empowering to know that you can change your biological system and that that is not who you are, it's what your body is doing. And I think that's why the microbiome is so fascinating for so many people, because this is one of the things that is mutable. It changes. You can change it. There's things that you're doing that you don't know that are changing it, and you can change it back. And so unlike our genes, which are sort of you get what you get, and we haven't gotten qu to gene therapy for the masses, the microbiome is shaping a lot of your biological systems. And you can modify it.
