Fungus IS Among Us: Depression and Your Mycobiome

Microbes and Mental Health Summit

<h6>Dr. Miles Nichols</h6>
Hello everyone and welcome to the Microbes and Mental Health Summit. I'm your host, Dr. Miles Nichols and I'm here today with Dr. Mahmoud Ghannoum. He is a PhD with some really fascinating research on depression in the microbiome. He has been a pioneer in the field of looking at the fungal colonies in the gut as well, and has coined the term the microbiome. And I'm really looking forward to learning about how those topics are connected with depression and with mental health concerns. Welcome Dr. Mahmoud,
