Gutfather
Around 100 billion microbes are colonising the human gut system. The diversity of these species is huge and varies from person to person.
This symbiotic collective, called the microbiom, is not only assisting with our digestion. Researchers only just begin to understand how it affects our brain and mind. As such, the microbiom is a very personal condensation of life experiences, character traits and environmental influences. Literally speaking, as our gut feeling it builds the foundation of our life decisions and our relation to the world.
The microbiom capsule allows to transfer a part of this condensate to another familiar person and encourages both, the donor as well as the recipient, to listen to the own inner voice.
