Send us a textEpisode Summary: Dr. Eugene Chang talks about the microbiome's role as a vital organ, the impacts of antibiotics and Western diets on microbial health, and strategies for restoring a damaged microbiome through diet and fecal microbial transplants. They delve into microbiome dysbiosis, its links to modern diseases, and Chang's research on personalized microbiome interventions.About the guest: Eugene Chang, MD is a physician-scientist and Professor of Medicine at the University of Chicago, specializing in gastroenterology. His research focuses on the gut microbiome as a vital organ influencing metabolic and immune health.Discussion Points:The gut microbiome is a vital organ, acquired early in life, that supports metabolic and immune functions, but can be disrupted by antibiotics, leading to diseases like C. difficile colitis.Western diets, high in saturated fats and low in fiber, contribute to microbiome dysbiosis, linked to modern conditions like inflammatory bowel diseases, obesity, and allergies.Microbiome health is better assessed by functional markers (e.g., short-chain fatty acid production) than taxonomic diversity, as diversity varies widely among healthy individuals.A patient with severe food intolerance due to antibiotic-induced microbiome damage was treated over 50 weeks with a tailored diet, restoring healthy microbiome function.Different dietary fibers (e.g., beans vs. seaweed) are metabolized at varying rates, affecting gut health; fermented foods like kefir can bypass digestion issues.Diet can rapidly reshape the microbiome within 24-48 hours, but severe dysbiosis may require microbial transplants if key microbes are extinct.Chang's research shows a high-fiber, low-fat diet outperforms fecal microbial transplants in restoring microbiome resilience in mice post-antibiotics.Future microbiome medicine may involve personalized “omni microbial transplants” targeting both small and large intestines for comprehensive restoration.Related episode:M&M 203: Metagenomics, Microbiome Transmission, Gut Microbiome in Health & Disease | Nicola Segata*Not medical advice.Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

First up on the podcast, Réunion Island had a shark attack crisis in 2011 and closed its beaches for more than a decade. Former News Intern Alexa Robles-Gil joins host Sarah Crespi to talk about how researchers have used that time to study the island's shark populations and test techniques for preventing attacks, in the hopes of protecting lives and reopening the island's shores.   Next on the show, engineering gut microbes to break down the precursors of kidney stones. Weston Whitaker, a research scientist at Stanford University, joins the podcast to discuss how he and his team created a stable niche for these useful microbes in the human gut and overcame some of the challenges of controlling them once inside.   This week's episode was produced with help from Podigy.   About the Science Podcast   Authors: Sarah Crespi; Alexa Robles-Gil Learn more about your ad choices.

When you think of the microbiome, you probably think of your gut. But bacteria live all over your body. And they're incredibly numerous; you play host to about as many microbes — a hundred trillion of them — as you do human cells.As my guest will explain, these microbial ecosystems are not only ubiquitous but hugely influential for your health — impacting everything from your weight and mood to your risk of developing many diseases.Dr. Brett Finlay is a microbiologist and the co-author of The Microbiome Master Key. Today on the show, Brett explains what the microbiome is, how modern life — including our overemphasis on hygiene — has damaged it, and how the quality of your microbiome is connected to nine of the top ten leading causes of death, as well as everything from depression to Parkinson's. Brett also shares how we can boost the health of our microbiome, including whether probiotic supplements are effective, how something as simple as flossing your teeth can cut your risk of Alzheimer's by 50%, and why you might want to let your dog lick you in the face.Resources Related to the PodcastLet Them Eat Dirt documentaryAoM Article: How and Why to Eat More FiberAoM Article Don't Be a Stick in the Mud — Why You Should Let Your Kids Get DirtyProbiotic gumConnect With Brett FinlayBrett's faculty page

I've shared so much over the years about my boys' healing journeys. About the years of struggle, battling every symptom that made us feel like something was wrong but no one could give us answers. The unhealthy poops, the rashes, the constant restless sleep, the allergies, the speech delays, the meltdowns and behavioral struggles that left us questioning everything. And how, through it all, rebalancing their guts didn't just completely heal their bodies... It changed our entire lives. It changed me as a mother, and as a woman.But one part of the story I haven't told enough… is my husband Ty's.When we first started rebalancing our family, it wasn't just about the kids. Ty was quietly carrying decades of symptoms that, at the time, felt totally normal.He grew up as a competitive swimmer which meant constant chlorine exposure, chronic ear infections and round after round of antibiotics, year after year. Then came the teenage acne, the Accutane, the antidepressants, and the sleeping medications. The list just kept growing.It wasn't until we adopted a microbiome lifestyle (the one that healed out boys)  that everything finally started to make sense for Ty. The decade of addiction, anxiety, depression, the constant food cravings, and the feeling that he was never fully present in his own body… it all traced back to the same root. Gut health touches every single part of who we are.This week, Ty is joining me on the podcast for a raw, vulnerable conversation about his journey. We're diving deep into his past, and how for the first time in his life, he's living medication-free and thriving.If you've ever wondered how your childhood exposures, gut health, or even your own microbiome might be influencing your mental health, your cravings, your hormones, or your child's health… this episode is for you.Coming from a man who was very skeptical in the beginning, someone who questioned whether any of this could really heal our boys, let alone change his own life, his story is living proof that it absolutely can. P.S. This might be THE episode to sit down and listen to with your partner, especially if they are on the fence about all of this microbiome talk.

This programme is part of our series of impromptu in-the-field podcasts, recorded at Groundswell 2025.In this episode we discuss how to regenerate the soil and the microbiome - and how food growing and eating are interconnected.ffinlo Costain is joined by Dr Lucy Williamson and John Pawsey.

The human body has traits that evolved at different times, from 1.5 billion to 2 million years ago, each bringing health benefits and risks. Multicellularity enabled organs and cancer. The immune system defends us but can cause inflammation. Breastfeeding supports infant health but relates to breast cancer risk. Menstruation and invasive placentas improved reproduction but led to pain and cancer risks. Human-specific traits like bipedalism and aging brought new issues like back pain and childbirth problems. Hair loss and sweat glands helped us stay cool but increased skin cancer risk. Our hunter-gatherer past shaped our microbiome and health, but also made us prone to modern diseases from lifestyle changes.

Humans have long been exposed to three main types of smoke: from early domestic fires, modern wildfires, and more recently, tobacco and fossil fuel pollution. All release tiny particles from partly burned plants, containing harmful chemicals like nitrogen oxides and carcinogens. These particles raise risks for lung cancer, dementia, and even childhood obesity. Studies show that air pollution can disrupt brain chemistry, increase Alzheimer's-related proteins, and activate stress-related genes (NFkB, Nrf2). A new drug (GSM-15606) shows promise in reducing brain damage from pollution in mice. People with the ApoE4 gene may be more vulnerable, while the ApoE3 gene, possibly evolved 200,000 years ago, may offer some protection.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of grief, trauma, death, childhood illness (including cancer), and environmental toxins. Listener discretion is advised — particularly for parents and caregivers of children affected by illness.If you've been navigating your health through routines, biohacks, or supplements but still feel disconnected, burnt out, or unwell, this conversation may shift everything.True healing is rarely about control. And it's almost never linear.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Zach Bush, a triple board-certified physician in internal medicine, endocrinology, and hospice care, and founder of regenerative health company Farmer's Footprint, to rethink everything we've been told about medicine, longevity, and what it means to feel whole. Dr. Zach's research reveals how the human gut microbiome contains more biodiversity than any other ecosystem on Earth, including rainforests and coral reefs, and how this internal garden directly influences our capacity for creative thought, emotional resilience, and physical healing.This isn't just about symptoms or protocols. It's about connection to nature, to others, and most of all, to yourself.We explore how modern health has become more fragmented than ever, and why the root of healing might be much quieter, much simpler, and much more human than we've been led to believe. Dr. Zach explains how your body regenerates your entire gut lining every three days, why stress hormones function as internal antibiotics that destroy beneficial bacteria, and how forest bathing measurably shifts your nervous system from sympathetic overdrive to parasympathetic healing, which is why Japan now prescribes it as first-line treatment for depression.Together, we explore: • Why the body is always healing at rates we can barely comprehend, unless we get in the way • How the gut's biodiversity mirrors the richness of our inner and outer environments • What real nourishment means (and why food prepared with love heals differently than nutrients consumed alone) • The specific physiological changes that occur during forest bathing and why biodiversity exposure enhances creativity • How to practice presence in your body as medicine • Why multi-generational living is the only consistent factor across all Blue Zones for longevity • And why stillness, beauty, and presence are not luxuries but essential medicineYou'll come away with a deeper understanding of your body not as a project to manage, but as an ecosystem to listen to. Plus practical tools for reconnecting with the healing intelligence that's been with you all along. And maybe, like me, you'll find yourself exhaling, softening, and remembering what it means to live well and be well.Love,Sarah Ann

We've been taught to believe that our genes are fixed. That our health is this pre-written story that we just have to accept.But that's not the full truth.Maybe you've been told you or your child have the MTHFR gene mutation. Maybe you've been suspecting it for a while, but no one's given you real answers. Or maybe you've seen the signs… the skin rashes, the anxiety, the sensory struggles, the chronic fatigue… and you've been carrying that quiet fear that something deeper is going on.I want to tell you today… your genes are not your destiny.Up to 60% of the population has some form of the MTHFR mutation. It's more common than most people realize. And while it can make detox, mood, energy, and overall health feel harder - it does not mean you or your child are broken.In this week's Follow Your Gut Podcast episode, I'm breaking down everything you need to know about MTHFR…→ What this gene actually does→ The early signs your body might need extra support→ Why symptoms like skin issues, anxiety, and fatigue are so common with this mutation→ How your gut health directly impacts your genes→ And most importantly… how to support your body or your child's body to function the way it was designed toYou have more control over your health than you've been taught to believe.Your genes are your blueprint… but you are the builder.I hope this episode reminds you just how much power you have to change your and your child's story. Listen here.

Doctor and special correspondent, Avir Mitra takes Lulu on an epic journey live on stage at a little basement club called Caveat, here in New York. Starting with an ingredient in breastmilk that babies can't digest, a global hunt that takes us from Bangladesh to the Mennonite communities here in the US, we discover an ancient symbiotic relationship that might be on the verge of disappearing.  So sip a vicarious cocktail, settle in, and explore the surprising ways our bodies forge deep, invisible connections that shape our lives.This live show is part of a series we are doing with Avir that we are calling “Viscera.” Each event is conversation that takes the audience on journey into a quirk or question or mystery inside of us, and gives them a visceral experience with the viscera of us. The previous installment of the series, was called “How to Save a Life.”Special thanks to Tim Brown, David Mills, Carlito Lebrilla, Bethany Henrik, Danielle Lemay, Katie Hinde, Jennifer Smilowitz, Angela Zivkovic, Daniela Barile, Mark UnderwoodEPISODE CREDITS:Reported by -Avir Mitrawith help from - Anisa VietzeOriginal music from - Dylan KeefeSound design contributed by - Dylan Keefe, Ivan BarenFact-checking by -Natalie Middleton.Signup for our newsletter!!
