Story at-a-glance Your skin microbiome helps protect against UV radiation damage by metabolizing harmful cis-urocanic acid (cis-UCA) using an enzyme called urocanase, preventing immunosuppression and inflammation after sun exposure Urocanase-positive bacteria rapidly respond to UVB exposure, shifting skin microbiome composition within hours and creating a protective feedback loop that supports overall skin health Conventional sunscreens often disrupt beneficial skin bacteria, while certain microbes produce protective compounds like pigments, antioxidants, and enzymes that naturally neutralize harmful UV radiation Linoleic acid (LA) from vegetable oils accumulates in skin cells, making them vulnerable to UV damage. Conversely, C15:0 fat can eventually replace LA in cell membranes Reducing LA intake and supplementing with 2 grams of C15:0 daily can help boost skin health in 12 to 18 months, enabling greater sun resilience without relying on conventional sunscreens

In this Scope Forward conversation, Praveen Suthrum speaks with Leo Grady, founder and CEO of Jona. Leo's background sits at the intersection of healthcare AI and microbiome science — a rare combination that's defining the future of gut health diagnostics.Their discussion explores why the microbiome is not a distant promise but clinically actionable today. They dig into why AI isn't just a tool but a necessity to interpret the complex, rapidly expanding world of microbiome research. Leo breaks down how Jona's platform creates a “digital twin” of the gut microbiome, simulating evidence-based interventions rather than offering general advice.Praveen and Leo also dive into why most existing microbiome companies miss the mark — often selling supplements rather than driving real clinical change — and how Jona was built to fill that gap with science at its core. The conversation closes with a look at why gastroenterology must — and is beginning to — take the lead in bringing microbiome research into everyday practice.Top Insights from the Conversation:02:27 - The Microbiome Is Clinically Actionable — TodayThousands of studies already link gut flora to chronic disease. Leo challenges the belief that it's “too early” — arguing there's sufficient evidence to act now, not a decade later.03:57 - AI Is the Only Way to Navigate the ComplexityWith 2,000+ new studies published monthly, no human can keep pace. Jona's custom AI filters and interprets this tidal wave of research, making personal, evidence-based recommendations possible.05:03 - Jona Builds a Digital Twin of the GutJona sequences an individual's microbiome and models how interventions — diet, supplements, medications — would alter it, based on interventional studies. It's a simulation grounded in real, published science.10:23 - Most Microbiome Startups Fall ShortMany existing companies sell the promise of gut health, but without scientific rigor. Jona was founded because Leo saw an opportunity to ground microbiome testing in solid evidence, especially for serious GI conditions.15:45 - Business Model: AI-Powered Microbiome InsightsJona sells precision gut tests, using AI to match microbiome data with clinical research—delivering evidence-based insights, not supplements.22:19- Clinical Use of Microbiome Testing Must Be Evidence-BasedJona's recommendations — whether to change diet or introduce a probiotic — are directly tied to published research, with confidence scores that help clinicians weigh the strength of evidence.26:43 - Jona's AI as a Domain-Specific Language ModelJona's AI acts like a specialized LLM trained on microbiome literature—matching patient data to published studies and simulating outcomes. It doesn't just read research; it reasons with it.37:05- Gastroenterology Must Lead the Way — and It IsWhile the microbiome has often been developed outside of GI, Praveen and Leo highlight how the field is shifting. GI physicians, with leaders like Dr. Lawrence Kosinski, are increasingly stepping up to shape the future of microbiome diagnostics and therapeutics.#digitalhealth #gastroenterology #thescopeforwardshow #nextservices #gi #future #ai #theshift #microbiome

Menstruation is the cyclical shedding of the endometrium triggered by falling progesterone levels. Menstruation is a rare trait found in less than 2% of mammals and likely evolved independently at least 4 times. Why do some mammals menstruate while most do not? The leading hypothesis is that menstruation occurs as a nonadaptive consequence of spontaneous decidualization of the endometrium, which evolved to increase biosensoring of embryo quality. While the trait of spontaneous decidualization (and as a byproduct, menstruation) was likely shaped by natural selection, menstruation also disposes women to conditions such as endometriosis, pre-menstrual syndrome, and bleeding disorders, especially in the contemporary context.

Menstruation is the cyclical shedding of the endometrium triggered by falling progesterone levels. Menstruation is a rare trait found in less than 2% of mammals and likely evolved independently at least 4 times. Why do some mammals menstruate while most do not? The leading hypothesis is that menstruation occurs as a nonadaptive consequence of spontaneous decidualization of the endometrium, which evolved to increase biosensoring of embryo quality.

Dr Charlie Andrews talks to Dr James Kinross, PhD, FRCS Dr. Kinross is a senior lecturer in surgery at Imperial College in London. He is also a practicing colorectal surgeon in the NHS with a clinical interest in the prevention and treatment of colon cancer. He leads a team of amazing researchers working to better define how the microbiome causes cancer and other chronic diseases of the gut. He is increasingly interested in how the gut microbiome develops in newborn babies and the implications on our long-term health. He is the author of the well know book DARK MATTER.Here are the key learnings for primary care on the microbiome from the attached transcript of the Ingest podcast with James Kinross:Key Learnings for Primary Care on the Microbiome1. What the Microbiome Is and Why It MattersDefinition: The microbiome is the collection of all microscopic organisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc.) and the environment they inhabit within a specific niche in the body, such as the gut, skin, or lungs. Symbiosis: The microbiome has a symbiotic relationship with the host, evolved over millennia. It is not static but dynamic and changes throughout life. Personalization: Each person's microbiome is unique, impacting how individuals respond to treatments and develop diseases[1].2. Microbiome Development and Early LifeEarly Colonization: The microbiome starts developing in utero, influenced by the mother's microbiome, and is further shaped by birth route, breastfeeding, and early environmental exposures. Critical Window: Early life is a critical period for microbiome development. Disruption, especially through antibiotic use, can have long-term effects on immune system development and disease risk[1]. Antibiotics Impact: Repeated or broad-spectrum antibiotic use in early life can lead to persistent changes in the microbiome, increasing the risk of immune-mediated diseases (e.g., allergies, asthma, eczema), obesity, and other non-communicable diseases[1].3. Microbiome and the Immune SystemImmune Regulation: The microbiome plays a crucial role in shaping both the innate and adaptive immune systems. It influences how the body recognizes and responds to threats. Disease Risk: Early disruption of the microbiome can increase susceptibility to autoimmune diseases, allergies, and chronic conditions later in life. Gene-Environment-Microbiome Interaction: Disease risk is not just about genes and environment but also involves the microbiome (GEM interaction), which is highly personalized and dynamic[1].4. Probiotics, Prebiotics, and DietProbiotics: There is evidence supporting the use of probiotics, especially multi-strain, high-dose formulations, during and after antibiotic courses. However, probiotics must be taken consistently for weeks to have an effect. Prebiotics and Diet: Feeding the microbiome with a high-fiber, plant-based diet is crucial for maintaining a healthy gut ecosystem. Processed foods and sugary drinks should be minimized, especially during illness or antibiotic treatment[1]. Practical Advice: Clinicians should recommend probiotics and dietary changes as part of a holistic approach to gut health, but the evidence for specific strains is still evolving[1].5. Microbiome TestingDirect-to-Consumer Testing: Online microbiome tests are not currently recommended due to lack of stand...

Our Archive Wellness season continues, again focusing on the Microbiome. Anna is joined by CEO of Ingenious Probiotics about what represents an explosion in the science of healthy bacteria.  We discuss probiotics in an external environment rather than an internal one. Based on our knowledge, albeit recent and expanding, we understand the vital role of probiotics as balancing bacteria in our microbiome. Joe discusses how we can use probiotics as a cleaning product to kill pathogens indoors with out adding chemicals. Too many chemicals in the home environment can make your indoor environment 100 times more toxic than outdoors. The issue with dogs is that the explore the world nose first, and sadly overtime many chemicals used in the home leach / off gas very toxic ‘endocrine disruptors' that can play havoc at a cellular level. Choosing a more natural option to work symbiotically with nature can also be used to clean ears, remove tear stains, and clean teeth. Joe talks about the range of products from shampoos to sprays for the coat. Thinking about how the enzymes also work we discuss how the the probiotics actually work to keep good bacteria in the environment and react accordingly to the pathogens in the environment. As an emerging science , this episode clarifies we've just begun to scratch the surface of pro-biotics in the context of us having lived in a very sterile world.

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dane Johnson — Founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle and the visionary behind the S.H.I.E.L.D. program — to unpack the real-life strategies that helped him reclaim his health after a near-death battle with Crohn's disease. With authenticity and purpose, Dane shares how he turned suffering into strength, leveraging natural medicine, functional nutrition, and integrative therapies to not just survive IBD — but thrive. His S.H.I.E.L.D. framework (Supplements, Herbs, Imagination, Exercise, Lifestyle, Diet) is a testament to personalized, root-cause healing that's both sustainable and empowering. Together, we explore the complex terrain of IBD: From genetic predispositions to microbiome dysregulation The impact of chronic stress and environmental toxins The gut-brain-liver axis and the underrated role of the vagus nerve Why standard labs often fall short and how functional testing can guide recovery  And most importantly, why healing requires a mindset shift — not just a meal plan. Whether you're a clinician, patient, or simply someone looking to understand chronic gut conditions through a functional lens — this episode is packed with insight, inspiration, and practical tools for real transformation. Key Takeaways: Functional Medicine Approach: Dane Johnson emphasizes the importance of understanding root causes such as microbiome imbalance and environmental factors in managing IBD. The SHIELD Program: A comprehensive lifestyle and dietary program designed to empower individuals to reclaim their health by being the 'CEO' of their wellness journey. Microbiome and Inflammation: How an overgrowth of harmful bacteria and fungal species can lead to chronic inflammation and exacerbate IBD symptoms. Vagus Nerve Stimulation: The critical role of the vagus nerve in maintaining digestive health and how it can influence the body's inflammatory response. Personal Health Advocacy: Encouragement to take charge of one's health by integrating knowledge, dietary changes, and functional testing to identify and address individual health needs. More About Dane Johnson: Dane Johnson is a holistic health practitioner and founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle focuses on the root-cause approach to healing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Drawing from his own near-death experience, Dane shares the pivotal realizations that led him away from conventional symptom management and toward lasting remission through his SHIELD Protocol. Listeners will discover how chronic gut inflammation, immune dysregulation, and emotional trauma all contribute to IBD and why a one-size-fits-all medical model often falls short. Dane unpacks the six pillars of his healing method, explains why personalized strategies are essential, and empowers practitioners and patients to embrace a new paradigm of gut healing: one rooted in functional medicine, lifestyle transformation, and real-world results. Whether you're a clinician seeking better outcomes or someone living with IBD, this conversation offers practical insights and powerful hope for lasting change.
