Learn the secret to total, lifelong health: the teeming world of microbes inside and all around us
Modern-day science has allowed us to prolong and improve life in astonishing ways, often by fending off germs and other invisible foes. But there’s no “immunity” to the inevitable signs of aging...or is there?
In The Whole-Body Microbiome, the father-daughter team of Dr. Brett Finlay (a microbiologist) and Dr. Jessica Finlay (a specialist on aging) offers a different - and truly revolutionary - solution to the quest for the fountain of youth. While much has been written about bacteria in the gut, exciting new research shows that there are millions of microbes both inside our bodies - supporting our brain, teeth, heart, lungs, bones, immune system, and more; plus the microbes on our bodies, coming from the air we breathe and the things we touch all day long - cell phones and kitchen sponges, pets and doorknobs, and even other humans. These microbial “lifelong companions” have an immense impact on our daily health - and, as groundbreaking research is showing, they have the power to help prevent and reverse the most common age-related diseases.
In this eye-opening new take on the significance of the microbiome, the Finlays offer empowering knowledge, surprising myth-busters, and simple yet effective daily tips that prove “dirty” is the new clean. Whether it’s by changing your diet, enjoying a glass of wine, getting more exercise, trading your antibacterial gel for good old soap and water, or spending more time outdoors, you can change your life today; so that you and your microbes live long - and prosper.

Compelling and informative
I chose to listen to this after being introduced to healthy eating habits from my doctor. I was dealing with heartburn, sleep apnea and GIRD. Aftee making changes to my diet and feeling much better simply with more healthy eating I decided to give this a shot. Many topics discussed are things I changed in my own life and had positive results. The importance of fiber, probiotics and reduction of processed foods is something everyone should be informed of. This was a long one but I certainly recommend it.

Not Very Helpful
If you are looking for info of how the microbiome is integral to great health this isn't the book to get. It is mostly a medical minded approach to germs causing disease and treatments of those germs. Completely misses the boat about how our microbiome is an essential component to life.
