Reflection:
Compared to the diseases that were listed in week 1, I feel that the diseases I have listed for week 10 are far more in depth than those in week 1. Additionally, most of the diseases that I listed were topics that were discussed in class and this has definitely been ingrained into my memory. Moreover, I think that I have a better understanding of the diseases that are listed above than those that I listed for week 1. Overall, I think the most important topics that I can take away from this course is how the gut microbiome affects the brain. I think this sticks with me the most because it’s the topic that I’ve spent the most time on, especially since its for my final review essay. On top of this, I think I will be more aware of how foods affect the gut microbiome and how keeping microbial communities is essential to living a healthy lifestyle.
