🧠 What if chronic disease doesn’t start in the brain… but in the gut?

For decades, medicine focused on killing infections with antibiotics. But as Dr. Blaser’s research on H. pylori showed, something unexpected happened alongside that progress:

👉 We depleted the microbiome that regulates the body

Martha Carlin explains how this shift opened the door to chronic, non-communicable diseases, and why the gut acts like a “general ledger” for health.
