This gives the phrase "trust your gut" a whole new meaning.

I literally was eating pizza while watching this and decided to put it away to show my bacteria im still in charge. Might finish it later tho

[Rickandmortyfandom]

I tried and tested it. I forced my body to avoid junk, killing the craving by just kept having miniscule bite, upgraded to green vegetables, fruits and grains. I lost 10kgs and now I crave for fruits and vegetables, in just a month. This works! 🔥

Hey kurzgesagt,

I’ve been watching your videos for over 5 years now and you don’t know how much these videos help me out... Every single time, and I mean every single time I have episodes of depression or anything of the sort I can always look up to this channel to brighten up my day; So I just wanted to write this to you as a token of gratitude and appreciation at all the great content you post.

[aromorguy]

Mom: Stop eating junk food!
Me: It isn't me mom! My microbes are forcing me to do so!

[Sightnado]

Poop transplant.
Those two words combined probably have one of the highest "wtf factor".

[DarthStardom]

Besides the horrifying ending, this was insanely informative and I hope everyone who watched this feels a little more inspired to take care of their bodies

As a C-Section baby I can confirm,
that we are indeed blue and have 1 twitchy eye.

[Lasersniper]

The saying "you are what you eat" has never been more relevant than in this video.

[nuclearwoof]

Never thought poop donation is a thing

[Chryztallic]

This gives me a warm weird fuzzy happy feeling that this harmonious interactions is literally happening in my body right now. Or is it just my microbiome yelling *"ye boi get educated and cultivate us well"* ?

[UberAsche]

When I started a keto diet, there were a couple of days where I felt depleted. But the most interesting event were the incredibly vivid dreams I had about pasta, bread, sugar etc. I genuinely think that the dying bacteria I was depriving of sugar and carbs were signalling my brain to want those foods.
I would love to hear your experience.

[emerson-biggons]

This might be the the only art style that can be Adorable and Horrifying at the same time

It's like three types of friends you can have in your life: the friend who just hangs out with you and the others, the bad friend who gets you in trouble, and the good friend who helps you.

[iambrettiskatealot]

I was just thinking about how this was one of my favorite episodes aesthetically and then the fecal transplant animation came along and REALLY sealed the deal.

[Skibberation]

"...Serious diseases, such as autism..." I'm usually a really big fan of these videos, but that line in particular really rubs me the wrong way.

[DeltaOfNothing]

I somehow feel less lonely now that I know that there’s a whole community of little fellas just chillin with my cells, some even helping out a bit lol

[yaboyjamal]

2:40 aww i feel bad for that yellow friendly guy that got crushed by a dumbell

[vegantec]

An observation at 5:56, it's said that "our microbiome has also been linked to other serious diseases, as autism". Autism isn't a disease (and that was mentioned on the video in the same sentence that included cancer), it's a disability. It's not considered a disease because it's not something to be cured. Autistic people may need more or less support in certain situations, but they also have their own way of being (specific interests, stims, personality) and if no one is being harmed by that, that's okay. I thought it'd be important to mention this, specially as an autistic woman.
