Scientific American: The Human Microbiome — The Ecosystem Inside Us
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
This episode explores Scientific American’s collection on the human microbiome as a systems-level analysis of the body as an internal ecosystem.
The discussion examines how microbial communities shape digestion, immunity, inflammation, metabolism, and gut-brain communication. It also looks at the structural tension between modern medicine’s ability to eliminate dangerous microbes and the body’s dependence on beneficial microbial systems.
