Well worth a watch
I went to see this last night and would definitely recommend a watch! I reckon it could have pushed a little further to look at how anti-bacterial products etc might be harming our gut flora, but a great thought starter in any case (and it explains why I try to avoid antibiotics as much as possible).
In the movie Kale Brock (journalist & researcher) journeys from from Australia to Namibia to live with The San, an ancient hunter-gatherer people living traditionally from the land.
He documents the changes to his microbiome (gut flora) as a result of his new diet and surroundings, and takes microbiome samples of The San to gauge the significant differences in microbiota present across cultures.
With expert commentary by leading gastroenterologist Professor Thomas Borody, molecular geneticist Dr Margie Smith, immunology researcher and expert Professor Mimi Tang and naturopath and chiropractor Dr Damian Kristof, The Gut Movie provides an insightful yet entertaining look at the explosive research of the gut & its impact on human health.
