About this listen

We harbor roughly the same number of microbes as we have cells. This complex ecosystem is crucial to our health, affecting many processes including immunity, child development, and bone density regulation. Research in this area has exploded, and in this audiobook, we highlight some of the most exciting work on how the microbiome develops, its influence on brain and behavior, and implications in both contributing to and treating various disorders.

This is not a book with a coherent or logical development, but rather a collection of short reports in a popular science magazine.

The material is good, but superficial and repetitive.

The voice actor speaks clearly and handles the complex language well, but with a grating American accent...

Collection of interesting old articles

Was really interested to hear the content but too distracted by narrator. Sounds like it is computer read. Very off putting.

Awful reading
