"Eyeopening... Fascinating... may presage a paradigm shift in medicine.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
"Teeming with information and big ideas... Outstanding.” (Booklist, starred review)
The origin of asthma, autism, Alzheimer's, allergies, cancer, heart disease, obesity, and even some kinds of depression is now clear. Award-winning researcher on the microbiome, professor Rodney Dietert presents a new paradigm in human biology that has emerged in the midst of the ongoing global epidemic of noncommunicable diseases.
The Human Superorganism makes a sweeping, paradigm-shifting argument. It demolishes two fundamental beliefs that have blinkered all medical thinking until very recently: 1) Humans are better off as pure organisms free of foreign microbes; and 2) the human genome is the key to future medical advances. The microorganisms that we have sought to eliminate have been there for centuries supporting our ancestors.
They comprise as much as 90 percent of the cells in and on our bodies - a staggering percentage! More than 1,000 species of them live inside us, on our skin, and on our very eyelashes. Yet we have now significantly reduced their power and in doing so have sparked an epidemic of noncommunicable diseases - which now account for 63 percent of all human deaths.
Ultimately, this book is not just about microbes; it is about a different way to view humans. The story that Dietert tells of where the new biology comes from, how it works, and the ways in which it affects your life is fascinating, authoritative, and revolutionary. Dietert identifies foods that best serve you, the superorganism; not new fad foods but ancient foods that have made sense for millennia. He explains protective measures against unsafe chemicals and drugs. He offers an empowering self-care guide and the blueprint for a revolution in public health. We are not what we have been taught. Each of us is a superorganism. The best path to a healthy life is through recognizing that profound truth.

Historia
You are just 10% human. For every one of the cells that make up the vessel that you call your body, there are nine impostor cells hitching a ride. You are not just flesh and blood, muscle and bone, brain and skin, but also bacteria and fungi. Over your lifetime, you will carry the equivalent weight of five African elephants in microbes. You are not an individual but a colony. Until recently, we had thought our microbes hardly mattered, but science is revealing a different story, one in which microbes run our bodies and becoming a healthy human is impossible without them.

While cells are commonly considered the building block of living things, it is actually the communication between cells that brings us to life, controlling our bodies and brains, determining whether we are healthy or sick, and directly influencing how we think, feel, and behave. In The Secret Language of Cells, doctor and neuroscientist Jon Lieff lets us listen in on these conversations, and reveals their significance for everything from mental health to cancer.

Historia
Because of our highly processed diet, pesticides, and overuse of antibiotics, our guts are now missing so many of the good bacteria that we require to be healthy. As a result, many of us have lost control over our health, weight, mood, and even behavior. With cutting-edge research, Dr. Davis connects the dots between gut health and modern ailments such as SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), a silent and profound epidemic, which affects one out of three people and is responsible for an astounding range of human health conditions.

In Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine, naturopathic doctor Lee Know tells the epic story of mitochondria - the widely misunderstood and often-overlooked powerhouses of our cells. The legendary saga began over two billion years ago, when one bacterium entered another without being digested, which would evolve to create the first mitochondrion. Since then, for life to exist beyond single-celled bacteria, it's the mitochondria that have been responsible for this life-giving energy.

The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for more than a decade, but as renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, or "Dr. B", illuminates in this groundbreaking audiobook, the explosion of studies on the microbiome makes it abundantly clear that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health. What studies clearly now show - and what Dr. B preaches with his patients - is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases.

A groundbreaking guide to the surprising source of good health. Genetics and lifestyle are thought to be the two most important determinants of good health. But that is not the whole story. We have a second genome, our gut bacteria, that sets the dial on our bodies. Unlike our DNA, we can influence the gut bacteria, or microbiota, to optimize all aspects of our health. In The Good Gut, noted Stanford researchers Justin and Erica Sonnenburg investigate how the trillions of microbes that reside in our gastrointestinal tract help define us.

Our gut is almost as important to us as our brain, yet we know very little about how it works. Gut: The Inside Story is an entertaining, informative tour of the digestive system from the moment we raise a tasty morsel to our lips until the moment our body surrenders the remnants to the toilet bowl. No topic is too lowly for the author's wonder and admiration, from the careful choreography of breaking wind to the precise internal communication required for a cleansing vomit.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Dietert makes the cogent and eye-opening argument that the microbiome - the collection of microbes that lives in our bodies and on our skin - is the arbiter of immune system homeostasis.... A book in which the author's fascinating, well-researched ideas regarding holistic health may presage a paradigm shift in medicine.” (Kirkus Reviews starred review)
"Teeming with information and big ideas about our tiny co-partner species, this is an outstanding introduction to the universe of little lives that dwell within us.” (Booklist starred review)
“Dietert makes a fascinating case for an exciting, emerging field that offers a new way of thinking about the human body and health.” (Publishers Weekly)

Historia
You are just 10% human. For every one of the cells that make up the vessel that you call your body, there are nine impostor cells hitching a ride. You are not just flesh and blood, muscle and bone, brain and skin, but also bacteria and fungi. Over your lifetime, you will carry the equivalent weight of five African elephants in microbes. You are not an individual but a colony. Until recently, we had thought our microbes hardly mattered, but science is revealing a different story, one in which microbes run our bodies and becoming a healthy human is impossible without them.

Historia
One out of three women alive today, and one out of two men, will face a cancer diagnosis, according to the World Health Organization. Ty Bollinger takes this personally: in the course of a decade, he says, "I lost my entire family to cancer. I don't believe I had to lose them." The Truth about Cancer has been written for one simple reason: to share the knowledge we need to protect ourselves, treat ourselves, and in some cases save our lives or the lives of those we love.

Historia
We humans like to think of ourselves as highly evolved creatures. But if we are supposedly evolution's greatest creation, why do we have such bad knees? Why do we catch head colds so often - 200 times more often than a dog does? How come our wrists have so many useless bones? And are we really supposed to swallow and breathe through the same narrow tube? Surely there's been some kind of mistake. As professor of biology Nathan H. Lents explains in Human Errors, our evolutionary history is nothing if not a litany of mistakes, each more entertaining and enlightening than the last.

Are you taking calcium or vitamin D? This book could save your life! Learn the secret to avoiding osteoporosis and heart disease. Millions of people take calcium and Vitamin D supplements thinking they're helping their bones. The truth is, without the addition of Vitamin K2, such a health regimen could prove dangerous. Without Vitamin K2, the body cannot direct calcium to the bones where it's needed; instead, the calcium resides in soft tissue, like the arteries, leading to a combination of osteoporosis and atherosclerosis, or the dreaded "calcium paradox".

Most of the 25,000 genes we possess are the same for all of us. Compatibility genes are those that vary most from person to person and give each of us a unique molecular signature. These genes determine both the extent to which we are susceptible to a vast range of illnesses and the different ways each of us fights disease.

Happy Accidents is a fascinating, entertaining, and highly accessible look at the surprising role serendipity has played in some of the most important medical discoveries in the 20th century. What do penicillin, chemotherapy drugs, X-rays, Valium, the Pap smear, and Viagra have in common? They were each discovered accidentally, stumbled upon in the search for something else. In discussing medical breakthroughs, Dr. Morton Meyers makes a cogent, highly engaging argument for a more creative, rather than purely linear, approach to science. And it may just save our lives!

Good info, a bit cryptic
It's a good listen, but there are times when I feel the author is out to impress the reader with his knowledge of bacteria / microbe names. I mean, ok so you know the names and maybe they're important for layman-me to know them too, but I'm feeling like the main story is the fact that we are Super organisms, what that means and how it all works. The names are pointless in my opinion, especially since there are really no specific recommendations and understandably that's because we are all unique.
And I personally really hate read lists in an audio book. Hate them.
In any case, regardless of these criticism, I enjoyed the book because it introduced new ideas in personal health that are nothing short of revolutionary.... Although in reality they are actually a core part of our natural evolution, disrupted by our modern life.

Excellent. Should be required reading for all.
Tremendous book. This was a fascinating look at the body and what's really going on in there. No joke, it should be studied by all parents, teachers & students, and be kept in every kitchen as a reminder of what we're sinn to ourselves with every food decision we make. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

A major paradigm shift in Human Biology.
Fantastic audiobook. The narrator has an easy listenable voice. The content concerning the microbial floral of the human body is well researched, presented and discusses absolutely stunningly revolutionary approaches to treating NCDs. Our partner microbiome is finally being thoroughly researched. Kudos to all the researchers of this emerging field of scientific discovery that is sure to change the field of individualized medicine forever. The FDA should follow the path of Health Canada and develop thoroughly researched
protocols for probiotics. Gift a copy of this book to your primary care physician.

A Critical Read for Holistic Health
Would you listen to The Human Superorganism again? Why?
Yes, to significantly book mark. Dietert clearly explains a critical but complex theory of human health and eating habits and provides well-reasoned recommendations I want to access easily.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Human Superorganism?
The fact that our personal biome is larger than our cellular mass and equally influential; that it is ancestrially endowed and/or corrupted at birth by handlers; modified, damaged, and cultivated by dietary choices and chemicals; and it exerts an unrealized influence over health and behavior, both psychological and physical—it is an unsuspected other half of the human organism, a recent discovery largely unrealized by medical practitioners and the general public.
What about Jonathan Todd Ross’s performance did you like?
He avoids the monotone characteristic of many science readers and uses tone and emphasis to convey Dietert’s argument that this research forewarns and forearms us against falling prey to destructive microbes and the NCD’s they perpetrate.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The microbiome can directly influence the brain’s process of decision making, and thus exert control over our behavior and create cravings for the foods particular microbes need to prosper; however, some of these are highly destructive to their host (you) when largely populated.
Any additional comments?
This research explains a lot of discrepancies in current theories of dietary function by providing a more complete and comprehensive theory that explains failures to modify eating behaviors and resist cravings, the triggers of NCD’s, and why we should improve our personal microbiome. From this theory, Dietert extrapolates principles and practices we can use to significantly improve our microbiome, and thus our health and well-being, without encuring unintended consequences. I will be buying and annotating hard copies for all my loved ones!

Another Reason to Love Microbiology
I work in a medical microbiology lab and have, in the past few years, become very interested in the process of determining what ails someone with a bacterial infection. Although I've known for some time that our microbiome affects our health, I didn't quite comprehend the extent. Having this new insight is particularly exciting if the future of medicine is, as the author puts it, going to focus on the "superorganism" and not just the mammalian portion. I can't recommend this book enough, but as always, encourage healthy skepticism.

If you are looking to be convinced of the importance and impact of the microbiome on our health, this is your book. I was convinced that "we" are not just a body but are a Superorganism.
