The microbiome has become a subject of fascination for me so I was super excited to read this book. It does a solid job of explaining the role of microbes through the body with a primary focus on gut flora. We take the full journey of eating to elimination, learning the vital part bacteria play in breaking down and drawing nutrients from our food. There are plenty of easy to understand parallels and the tone is quite conversational. The illustrations feel a bit dated and cheesy but the information is strong.
