Coming up on the exam room.

Part of what we discovered in this study is that there is a shift in the microbiome that

takes place.

So for example, people who partake in social gel ag on the weekends, go into bed 90 minutes

later, waking up 90 minutes later, this group of people, they have six specific species

of microbes that are more profound we represented in their group compared to people who are going

to bed on a consistent time, whether it's Friday and Saturday night.

And if you look at those six species that are represented in the social jet lag group,

basically, a re of them are overtly, clearly defined as inflammatory.

And the other three are, you know, maybe a little bit closer to neutral, but definitely

on the inflammatory side of neutral, meaning that they're not actually helping you.
