'When John L. Marshall, MD, began practicing oncology 30 years ago, “no young people got colore**al cancer,” he tells us. “Now, [that demographic] is about a third of my clinic.”

Initially, experts believed the rise in early-onset CRC was tied to the obesity epidemic or a lack of exercise. But Dr. Marshall says many of his patients under 50 are exceptionally fit and health-conscious: “It became clear that something else had to be driving this.”

One of the leading theories today has to do with what’s known as the gut microbiome, the universe of bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses that have colonized our intestines. In recent years, scientists have discovered that this intricate ecosystem does much more than help break down the food we eat. It plays a key role in regulating our metabolism and warding off dangerous pathogens — and when it’s knocked out of balance, it’s been implicated in a range of serious chronic conditions from Alzheimer’s to rheumatoid arthritis and colore**al cancer.'
