Say Hello to Little Friends – Mycobiome Essentials Revealed

There was a time when most people thought that bacteria were bad. But now millions are embracing that probiotics contain good bacteria, and that’s important to maintain a healthy microbiome.

But here’s another myth we want to break here: People thought that microbiome contains nothing but bacteria. But in fact, it actually contains another world of living organisms that most of us have never really considered: FUNGI.

So to talk about fungi and the mycobiome, we have the master of the fungal universe and Director of the Center for Medical Mycology at Case Western Reserve University, one of the top 25 medical research universities in the United States, Dr. Mahmoud Ghannoum.

"Your gut health is not just about bacteria—fungi, lifestyle, and diet all work together to shape your wellbeing." - Mahmood Ghannoum, PhD
