Talk title: The Microbiome Master Key: Exploiting the microbiome for healthy living and aging

Abstract: We have come to realize the microbiome (all the microbes living in and on us) play a fundamental role in human health and disease, affecting most of our normal physiological processes.  In the past few years, we have begun to understand how we can exploit this understanding to promote beneficial microbiomes, which in turn enhances health and aging.  In this talk we will explore some of these concepts, and what can be done, based on science, to enhance health and healthy aging.
