Prof. Jack Gilbert: All about the microbiome

Prof. Jack Gilbert earned his Ph.D. from Unilever and Nottingham University in 2002. He has extensive experience in microbial ecology, working at various research institutions. He co-founded the Earth Microbiome Project and American Gut Project and authored numerous publications on the subject. Prof. Gilbert has received recognition for his work, including awards and listings among influential scientists. He is currently a professor at the University of California San Diego and leads multiple research projects, including BiomeSense Inc., which focuses on developing automated microbiome sensors. He is also the author of the “Dirt is Good” book.

In this episode, Prof Gilbert discussed the importance of exposing children to a rich and diverse environment for their health. He explained the hygiene hypothesis, which suggests that removing ourselves from microbial and antigenic exposure may have led to the development of autoimmune disorders and immunological diseases. Gilbert's ongoing study looks at how exposing children to forests and outside areas for 3-4 hours a day can reduce cardiometabolic disease, obesity, and allergic disorders. He also discussed a project where porous soil bacteria are isolated and spread on rugs to introduce bacteria into surfaces that have immunostimulatory properties, which will improve immune health, help train the immune system, and prevent allergies.
