The Gut-Brain Axis: Understanding the Microbiome (S6:E47)

The gut microbiome is a fascinating area of human health that we just started to better understand in the last two decades. With the arrival of PCR sequencing and advanced PCR techniques, we've been able to characterize the microbiome by looking at what organisms live there and how they vary by location and diet, as well as how the microbiome is influenced by things like exposure to antibiotics. We're beginning to understand the relationship between the microbiome and health, from how these bacteria influence human metabolism and immune system development to their association with autoimmune diseases. Although we've learned a great deal, there's still a lot for us to understand about our microbiome, including the relationship between our nervous system and the bacteria in our gut. In this episode, we'll explore what we know and what we have left to discover with our guest Jaime Belkind-Gerson, MD.

Guest:

Jaime Belkind-Gerson, MD, is a pediatric gastroenterologist at Children's Hospital Colorado. Dr. Belkind-Gerson is an expert in neurogastroenterology and gastrointestinal motility, and he's an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
