Description
A healthy microbiome is key to resisting infections and chronic disease. When disease strikes, a healthy microbiome can help you bounce back more quickly.
The good news is that very basic principles microbial ecologists have used for decades to restore ecosystems can help you implement safe and natural strategies today that support a healthy microbiome.
This course shows you remarkably simple ways to use a whole foods diet, stress management, and reduced exposure to environmental toxins to create habitat for trillions of microbes that help you live well.

Dr. Mary Lucero spent more than thirty years as a research professional examining plant and microbial interactions in complex ecosystems.
From this work, she has concluded that microbial communities determine the health of all living systems. They also provide a framework for restoring soil health, crop nutrition, food security, and general health and wellness.
Today she enjoys sharing information that helps people utilize microbial communities to:
-restore nutrition to crops and soils
-build food security
-improve human health
-clean toxic environments
-build sustainable and prosperous communities
