Audio Collective This is Ted Health and I'm Dr. Shoshana Ungerlighter.

Have you ever paused to consider who's really in charge of your decisions?

No, I'm not talking about conspiracy theories or outer-worldly beings.

I mean the trillions of tiny organisms living inside you.

Yeah, you heard that right. In her enlightening TEDX Marshall Utah,

science journalist Kathleen McCullough

takes us on a journey into the world of the microbiome,

revealing how these microscopic residents in our guts could be pulling the strings

on everything from our moods to our choices.

Kathleen shares exciting and emerging research that makes us wonder if our cravings, our fears, and even the essence of who we are might be influenced by these unseen tenants in our gut.

This is an interesting area where further research is needed for us to fully understand these

ideas.

So tune in for a talk that isn't just about the wonders of the human body.

It's an invitation to look inward in a way you might never have before.

of Ted Climate, each episode we unpack the problems and solutions of climate change.

This season of the show we're getting into some big ideas that make us optimistic about the future, like meat grown from cells and leather made from mushrooms.

And the best part, we look at how building a greener future can be an upgrade instead of a sacrifice.

Find and follow Ted Climate wherever you're listening to this.

We've been debating the question forever.

Is there such a thing as free will?

Am I captain of my ship, master of my own destiny. I'm no philosopher.
