(PART OF THE CYCLE OF ILLNESS: IMMUNE SYSTEM PART 3 / HOW THE MICROBIOME AFFECTS OTHER SYSTEMS) THESE ARE THE SLIDES TO THE VIDEOS AND THE NOTES The estrobolome is the collection of bacterial genes in the gut microbiome that encode enzymes capable of metabolizing and modulating estrogen levels in the body. This interaction, known as the estrogen-microbiome axis, plays a crucial role in maintaining hormonal balance and can influence various aspects of health, including reprodu
(PART OF THE CYCLE OF ILLNESS: IMMUNE SYSTEM PART 3 / HOW THE MICROBIOME AFFECTS OTHER SYSTEMS) THESE ARE THE SLIDES TO THE VIDEOS AND THE NOTES The gut microbiome plays a significant role in thyroid health, with evidence suggesting a "gut-thyroid axis" where imbalances in the gut microbiota can affect thyroid function and vice versa. This axis is particularly relevant in autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease. How the Microbiome Influen
