Managing Your Microbiome

I appreciate your pace, your obvious wisdom from your own life experiences combined with your academic intelligence, curiosity and brilliance. Thank you for being willing to offer common sense from the depths of science and spirit.

Thanks - confirming some of the things I know. Also some light on other things I did not know. Thanks for sharing personal testimony. Thanks for wanting others to adjust their lifestyle for the positive and doing it in a non-apposing way. I must admit that I did not know wat to expect. Wanted a bit more body, but realized that digging deep will cause a much larger course and that we are only scratching the surface as with your example of the hubble telescope. So the course in short serve as a testimony that natural is still the best, due tot he complexity of creation. I am glad you realized this and also see, that we are marvelously and fearfully made. Thanks for a great course - short and sweet

Great course on a very important health topic. The only complaint about the course so far is that it does not include closed captioning.

I loved how easy this was to understand. It gives you all the information you need to know about the microbiome if you're just curious about it and want it for more understanding about your own health. Thank you!!

This complimented another course from the Herbal Academy, this material was in depth and very informative

The course is too general. It is good for beginners, but it lacks of more scientific facts on variation of human microbiome (how is it build during human development (does toddler already has microbiome as adult person; does it significantly variate between adults), how resistant is or is not to specific factors (antibiotics/drugs, stress, etc.) that negatively work on good bacteria/germs and how much time is generally needed to regenerate healthy microbiome after it was disturbed, etc.). Also lacks in scientific facts on how exactly bacteria/germs in our guts are involved in our general health (what are the mechanisms of working of most relevant germs) and approximately how long can one organism 'tolerate' microbiome dysbiosis before some illness occur.

It’s very interesting and the doctor's story is helpful to hear. I went looking for a nutrition course and this is sooo interesting and I’m excited to hear how this information relates to everyday eating and overall health.

Good course by an experienced expert. I would have enjoyed additional detail. For example, there is research about the distribution of various bacterial groups (eg., Firmicutes and bacteroidetes) in various conditions, such as obesity.

Enjoyed listening to the course. Expected more detail, but will check out the resources to find where to explore. Thank you! I think this should be shown to every high school student!

I really appreciated Mary's in-depth knowledge and expertise in the area of our microbiome. There is a lot of "talk" these days about our gut microbiome, and I knew I could trust Mary's words because of her study and experience in the area. Between Mary's expertise and her personal experience, she was someone I could trust, and I enjoyed learning from her.

Mary Lucero, an expert scientist and world-class teacher personalizes and makes a complex subject easy to understand. She offers offers thought provoking anwers to enhancing our lives, health and happiness by managing our microbiome in community with other like-minded pioneers.

The changes that I have already made were reinforced and validated. And I had some new knowledge to consider incorporating into my present lifestyle. Some of the units could be expanded and gone into in greater depth.

This completing of her studies and her progress in better health are similar to mine in many ways and make me question the structure of our medical system even more. It has only recently in the past yr improved to supporting birth canal microb's and the importance of certain foods and herbs to better our health. I also studied herbals for many many yrs after I ventured on a recovery program of my own from drug addiction. I realize now tho that a lot of my ailments were probably derived from my mother's health. We have been subject to little if no ways to discover a better health than thru the betterment of finally acquiring better foods and better-growing conditions and knowledge. Much of which our nation has taken into its's own hands to discover.
