Your Body Is a Rain Forest
Imagine that you are hosting a big party. As you consider your invite list,
there’s a lot to think about. You have many different groups of friends from
various parts of your life: your old college buddies, your work friends, and
some others that you’ve picked up along the way. Then there are your
partner’s different groups of friends to consider, too.

It would be nice if everyone got along, but unfortunately, that’s not the
case. In particular, your work friends and your college friends don’t seem to
like each other very much. They disagree on some political issues, and
previous parties have gotten awkward. A few times, arguments have even
broken out.

It might be tempting to hang out with each group separately, but this
time, you want to throw a really fun, robust party. Maybe it’s a special
occasion. You’ve also noticed that a little competition among groups isn’t
always a bad thing; it keeps everyone on their toes. Plus, each group brings
slightly different qualities to the table, and they tend to complement one
another. One work friend makes an amazing artichoke dip, but it’s nothing
without the (grain-free, of course) crackers that a friend from another group
buys at a store near her home. One of your partner’s friends has a family
member who runs an organic winery, and the wine from there pairs
beautifully with a goat cheese from another friend’s farm. Any party
without all of the guests and everything they contribute would feel
incomplete.

So what do you do? You text invitations to all of your guests. Before
RSVP-ing, most of them text you back, asking “Is so-and-so coming?” or
“Can I bring a plus-one?” or “What can I bring?” Once they feel assured
that other members of their group will be there, they agree to attend and
confirm what goodies they’ll bring.

Believe it or not, something remarkably similar is happening within
your gut every minute of every hour of every day. Your gut buddies aren’t
just getting together to party, though. They work together, play together,
and make great efforts to maintain a state of homeostasis—stable
equilibrium between interdependent elements—as long as you have a
healthy microbiome that includes the right balance of different species that
support and challenge one another.

Depending on the mix, they will find a way to work together either to
harm or to benefit you, each taking its own unique actions that are all a part
of the greater plan. Because of their interrelated functions and the ways they
like to compete with one another, diversity is of the utmost importance. But
each species will not act until it knows that enough of its members are there
to provide backup.

How do they do all this? Well, they talk to one another, of course, using
a language that scientists are just beginning to understand.
