The Psychology of Gut Bacteria - Marc David

You probably read that title and thought, “How can there possibly be a psychology of gut bacteria?”
After all, the little guys don’t even have brains! But we’re not talking about single-celled organisms sitting on a therapy couch, here – we’re talking about the humans who host them in our bodies, and how we think and feel about the critters who do so much of the work of digesting our food for us. We humans have a complicated relationship with the collection of bacteria known as our microbiome, but as Marc David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, explains, science is now discovering that the bacteria in our gut are incredibly important for our well being, and even for our survival.
