Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Mihail Pautov discussing microbiome research. The speakers describe mouse microbiome transplant experiments that can transfer traits (obesity, anxiety) between animals, note that mood and stress can alter the microbiome, and caution that mouse findings do not automatically translate to humans. The excerpt raises the possibility of manipulating the microbiome to influence health while emphasizing limitations of direct human extrapolation.

If you take an obese mouse and you take his microbiome out and you transfer it to a normal mouse, he gets obese. Are there any way to manipulate this microbiome to change it in our favor?
Yes, unfortunately, humans aren't as simple as mice. Yeah, those experiments show that it's possible, but they don't show it will automatically happen in humans, as you suggested. In mice you can stress them. Interesting. So it can work the other way as well. You can induce anxiety in a mouse that will change its microbes and then you transplant those microbes into another mouse, you'll make, make that mouse anxious.
So it's not only what we eat changes the microbiome, but also how we feel.
It's a two way thing. Yes. It's not just a one way thing. So there's a two way interaction between our immune system, our nervous system and our microbes. That's why it's, it's a complicated field because it's not just all causal, some of it is consequent. If you feel depressed and anxious, that might be because you had a poor diet and a poor microbiome.
