Description

An urgent investigation into a brave new world in science - the microbiome - and how it could save our health. The microbiome is the missing link in modern medicine, a vast genetic universe of 'dark matter' - bacteria, yeasts, viruses and parasites - that lives inside us. It conducts the orchestra of our immune system, adapts with us as we age and influences how we think and feel, our sex lives and even how fast we run. Dark Matter is packed with practical takeaways, and shows how everything from exercise, sleep and diet through to antibiotics and ageing are directly impacted by the state of our microbiome. This mindblowing book is both a guide to hacking your body for a healthier life and a rallying call to protect the most vulnerable human ecosystem of all.

Author Biography:

Dr James Kinross is a senior lecturer in colorectal surgery and consultant surgeon at Imperial College London and a visiting professor at the Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland. He leads a research team defining how the microbiome causes cancer and other chronic diseases of the gut. Dark Matter is his first book.
