implicating the microbiome in various diseases and aging

    Fuck it, I'll eat shit to live longer better longer. Assuming it's like, the microbiota in a capsule and not literally eating shit. The immune function, cognition, and memory benefits are actually super important imo, as someone who's watched their grandmother descend into Alzheimers. i don't really care about living to 150, but I'd like to be in good health when I die.
