Microbiome and Dysbiosis Video #2: Physiologic and Pathologic Mechanisms of Dysbiosis
This is Video #2 in the series, building upon the information in Video #1
This page was updated February2025 to include the video directly embedded (not streaming from another host) for better reliability/viewability. The video is available/viewable at the bottom of this page directly from the substack platform.
In “Microbiome and Dysbiosis Video #1: Course Introduction and Clinical Impact of Microbial Molecules”, I introduced several important and foundational/fundamental terms and concepts that facilitate our appreciation of the human microbiome and its clinical impacts in health and disease.
In this second video, we move from molecules to their physiologic effects, as we move in a logical and step-wise manner toward a multidimensional-holographic awareness of dysbiosis-induced diseases that we see in clinical practice.
