We're bringing this powerhouse episode back to your ears—because it's just that good. Microbiologist and gut health innovator Dr. Kiran Krishnan returns for what might be our most impactful conversation yet. Together, we explore why your gut microbiome is the ultimate predictor of resilience, longevity, and even how well you'll respond to illness.Kiran breaks down the staggering impact of microbial diversity, how modern life has wiped out essential strains, and why his team is resurrecting ancient microbes for the modern gut. We also get into what he actually takes when flying 400,000 miles a year, the truth about keto, and how poop (yep!) holds the key to personalized healing.It's science, inspiration, and a whole lot of fun—complete with a poop-testing parody of “Dick in a Box.” You'll walk away with five daily practices to boost gut diversity and a renewed belief in your body's natural brilliance.HIGHLIGHTS[3:42] - How the digital world is changing what we know and how we connect[6:10] - Building resilience vs. chasing perfection in health[8:24] - What centenarians around the world teach us about gut diversity[13:01] - Why your poop holds the answers: shape, frequency, and clues to dysfunction[16:28] - Microbial extinction and why we've lost two-thirds of our gut species[21:56] - What is MegaGenesis and how keystone strains are being brought back[23:54] - Why restrictive diets harm the gut—and what to do instead[28:49] - The new FXBiome test: better resolution, actionable insights[38:24] - Covid, long-haul illness, and the gut's predictive power[43:57] - 5 lifestyle upgrades for gut diversity: from fasting to forest walks[49:32] - Why your household shares microbes—and why dogs help[58:07] - Kiran's closing message: there's always hope when you start with the gutCONNECT WITH DR.

What if a human trial of over 1200 patients showed improved mobility and reduced pain in osteoarthritis (OA) patients using a natural combination of boswellia and celery seed extract? What if a second follow-up randomized, placebo-controlled human trial found that within 90 days, this same combination increased OA patients' ability to perform a walk test by over 50%, reduced markers of cartilage degeneration by half and increased markers of cartilage regeneration by half. This is what the research team at Calroy Health Sciences have discovered, putting a tremendous amount of work and financing into studying the effects of the uniquely-developed Cartigenix-HP. Not only that, increased joint space at the end of the trial was clearly visible via radiography, and 90% of the intervention group did not need any "rescue" pharmaceutical medication at the end of the 90 day period (compared with only 20% of the placebo group) and this effect was sustained beyond the end of the trial. I have to say, I am impressed and excited about the potential for this new product to help my patients and I am thinking about other applications like OA prevention and osteoporosis!

As the clean-up from ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred begins, there could be hazards hidden in the water. Microbiologist at the University of the Sunshine Coast Associate Professor Erin Price told Gary Hargrave on 4BC Drive, "Melioidosis is not very common in South East Queensland, thankfully." "This is an infectious disease that does lurk in the soil, and it loves when there's wet weather, especially flooding events and cyclones." "So we have a perfect storm of conditions for this organism and for this disease right now in South East Queensland." "We want people to just be aware that it is potentially going to be an issue, especially if you've come into contact with flood waters or mud, for instance, during cyclone clean up," Associate Professor Price continued.

Zoologist, microbiologist and science champion Dr Bushra Schuitemaker has carved out a career in research and is determined to ensure young people from disadvantaged backgrounds know that science is for them too.Growing up in a single parent household in rural Essex, entitled to free school lunches, Bushra's stella science career is all the more remarkable because her local secondary school offered pupils no opportunities at all to take science A level courses.Positive she wanted to study zoology at university, she petitioned the school board, teachers and fellow pupils to get A level biology put on – which they did. Several years later, the school has full physics, chemistry and biology classes.Bushra's professional achievements, include working for Cancer Research UK at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, and now researching childhood obesity and puppy gut health at Biome9 and the Quadram Institute in association with the Guide Dogs organisation. And she partly puts her success down to thinking differently (she describes this as a superpower) because she has both dyslexia and dyspraxia.Read more and find extra links on the ProGRESS website show notes page hereYou might like to listen to:Sarah Ashworth, Researcher developer at University of Manchester S1 E11Rachel Warren, Professor of global change and environmental biology, The Tyndall Centre UEA S1 E7Matthew Halteman, Philosophy professor and animal and food ethicist, S3 E10Lydia Carrington, Sustainability manager Edgbaston Stadium S2 E1About ProGRESS:Host Sandra Kessell invites guests to discuss their pro- Green, Ethical, Sustainable and Socially responsible careers, courses and activities and asks for real-world insights into the paths and decisions that led to them.Original content © Sandra Kessell Original music © Lyze KessellFollow ProGRESS on LinkedInInstagram: @progress_green_careers_podcastEmail us: hello [@] mypro-gress.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

We're joined by Microbiologist, Dr Carol Hughes, and Rachel Down, the founder of Boil and Broth, to discuss the ground breaking research project called the Biome Broth study. As a world first, the aim is to put Bone Broth to the test to see if adding this age old remedy to dogs' diets will enhance their microbiome. With 29 dogs taking part, none of whom had had broth before, and on taking this powerful food for only four weeks, their biomes were tested again, and in all cases a remarkable improvement has been seen in this short time-frame. Notably the microbiomes as tested by Dr Carol at Aberystwyth University revealed the cases restoring to a natural balance with bad bacteria strains being reduced, and the good bacteria strains being enhance, along with an increase in the microbial diversity. The project aims to discover more about how Bone Broth interacts with the biome's bacteria, helping to restore its natural ecosystem, which is responsible for 80 per cent of the immune system. Funds are needed to delve deeper,  focus on a project around cats, even discover what is the magic ingredient of Bone Broth or simply a combination of all its natural assets! So we discuss the Prize Draw crowd funder which hopes to raise funds for further research along with awareness and education as to the health benefits of Bone Broth as a superfood.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the most abundant lifeform on Earth: the viruses that 'eat' bacteria. Early in the 20th century, scientists noticed that something in their Petri dishes was making bacteria disappear and they called these bacteriophages, things that eat bacteria. From studying these phages, it soon became clear that they offered countless real or potential benefits for understanding our world, from the tracking of diseases to helping unlock the secrets of DNA to treatments for long term bacterial infections. With further research, they could be an answer to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance.With Martha Clokie Director for the Centre for Phage Research and Professor of Microbiology at the University of LeicesterJames Ebdon Professor of Environmental Microbiology at the University of BrightonAnd Claas Kirchhelle Historian and Chargé de Recherche at the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research's CERMES3 Unit in Paris.Producer: Simon TillotsonIn Our Time is a BBC Studios Audio ProductionReading list: James Ebdon, ‘Tackling sources of contamination in water: The age of phage' (Microbiologist, Society for Applied Microbiology, Vol 20.1, 2022) Thomas Häusler, Viruses vs. Superbugs: A Solution to the Antibiotics Crisis?
