In this episode, we focus on the vitally important subject of gut health. The field is still relatively new, as a popular way to understand overall health in humans and animals, and the amazing progress that has been made in this area in recent years is revolutionizing our understanding of our physiology. The main idea here is that by changing your gut microbiome, you can have a huge impact on your brain health and metabolic health, not to mention the ability to speed up weight loss! Dr. Minni takes listeners through the milestone studies that have been conducted in the last two decades and clarifies some of the most important findings. Tuning in, you will also hear about the range of diseases that are now correlated with an unhealthy gut, and how doctors are going about combating these issues. So for all this and more on such a big part of living a healthy life, be sure to join us today!
