Episode #124: How to Fix Your Gut: From Antibiotics to Mental Health

<p class="" data-pm-slice="1 1 []">My guest this week is Kiran Krishnan, Chief Scientific Officer of Microbiome Labs.</p> <p class="">In this episode, Kiran and I discuss how to fix your gut and how the microbiome affects every aspect of your health, including the health of others in your household (pets too)! We talk about how to support and repopulate the gut post antibiotics to the emerging science of psychobiotics for mental health and wellbeing. Did you know anxiety and depression markers can be measured through gut testing?--We talk about the importance of the gut-brain connection and why what may seem like low-grade symptoms now, such as sleeplessness or foggy brain, may actually be a warning sign of neurological disease pathologies. The clinical trials Kiran discusses are fascinating; from the effects of over sterilization among populations to having an overly leaky gut! </p> <p class="">And, no gut conversation is complete without talking poop, personal care, stress, or environmental exposures either!</p> <p class="">Learn more about Microbiome Labs and for a discount, click <a href="https://bit.ly/MBLN15" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">here</a>.</p> <p class="" data-pm-slice="1 3 []">Follow Kiran:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://bit.ly/MBLN15" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Website</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/microbiomelabs" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/microbiomelabs/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/megasporebiotic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LinkedIn</a></li> </ul> <p class=""> </p> <p class=""> </p> <p class="">------</p> <p class=""> </p> <p class=""> </p> <p class=""><strong>Episode Sponsors</strong></p> <p class="p1"><strong><a href="http://berkeleylife.com/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Berkeley Life</a> </strong>is dedicated to supporting healthy nitric oxide levels—a vital molecule made in the body, responsible for vasodilation and circulation.
