- Scale: ~38 trillion microbial cells in a human body vs. ~30 trillion human cells — by cell count, "you" are barely the majority organism - The gut-brain axis: vagus nerve carries bidirectional signals; gut microbiome produces 90% of the body's serotonin and multiple GABA precursors - Proof-of-concept: fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) cures recurrent C. difficile infection in 90%+ of cases — demonstrates causal microbiome-health link - Frontier research: microbiome signatures associated with Parkinson's disease appear 10+ years before neurological symptoms — potential for early intervention
