CONSEQUENCES TO MICROBIAL DIVERSITY
With the declaration of the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Australians implemented major restrictions to reduce the respiratory droplet and aerosol contact1 transmission of the novel severe-acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The pandemic prompted public health messaging advising Australians to minimise physical contact, maintain 1.5 metres distance from others, wear a face mask2 and wash and sanitise hands regularly,3 particularly after contact with others. As a predominantly respiratory infection, COVID-19 binds with alveolar and small intestinal epithelial angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors, drawing attention to the gut and respiratory microbiome.4

Moira Bradfield’s biggest realisation in managing altered genitourinary microbial health is that symptoms aren’t typically due to an infection. Why?
Dr Christine Houghton discusses the antioxidant dilemma, how certain molecules signal our cells to turn on and off certain genes, and how she uses her G.E.M.M Protocol (Gut Ecology & Metabolic Modulation to rejuvenate the gut microbiome and re-establish homeostasis within the gut.
The role of bacteria within the human body is increasingly being shown to have a diverse range of effects on health and disease. A relatively new microbiome concept, within the body, is that of the estrobolome. This is the congregation of bacterial genetic enzyme expression, which influences oestrogen kinetics[1] and is responsible for metabolising oestrogen.
