None of us are ever really alone. That’s because at any given moment in the day, our gut is alive with tens of trillions – tens of TRILLIONS – of microorganisms that make up what is called our gut microbiota, or gut flora. These trillions of microorganisms include at least 1000 different species of known bacteria that contain more than 3 million genes.
