Dr Davis has connected the dots between 'gut health' and many common, modern ailments and complaints. One in three people have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), which causes a long list of health issues and illnesses; it is a silent and profound epidemic created by the absence of microbial species that our ancestors had even 50-100 years ago, which have been erased by the industrialisation of food and medicine.

It's also one route to that elusive, ecstatic state of flow.
