TOP REVIEWS FROM GUT CHECK: EXPLORING YOUR MICROBIOME
Loved the idea of this course but a bit out of my league. I wanted more on the data and applying it in real life rather than how the data is collected.
Wonderful course, lots of amazing information and I appreciate learning about this topic as I would like to apply some of the concepts to better my family's health. Highly recommend it!
