Inside your gastrointestinal tract there are trillions of microbes, about 3 lbs in total, and in terms of absolute numbers, you have more microbial cells than human cells. This collection of bacteria, viruses, and fungi are collectively referred to as your gut microbiome, and at this juncture of human history, most of us struggle with some degree of gut dysbiosis. My guest on this week’s podcast has dedicated his work to the study of gut microbiome and how to fix it when things go wrong.

Listen and learn:

  • Why most probiotics haven’t been tested on humans
  • How specific strains are required for specific problems
  • Whether stool tests are really worth it
  • The future of fecal transplants and poop banking

ABOUT OUR GUEST

Dr. Gregor Reid is a microbiologist whose work is focused on human microbiome and probiotics. He’s authored over 500 scientific publications and is the author of the book, Probiotics: A Story About Hope.
