Modulating the gut microbiome for health – AHS19

In this presentation, I dispel a lot of common myths and misunderstandings about the gut microbiome, including why culture-based stool tests are inaccurate, why a high-fat diet is not necessarily bad for gut health and why herbal antimicrobials are not universally safe.

I also discuss the importance of probiotic strain, whether we should take probiotics after antibiotics, the effects of exercise on the gut microbiome, the oxygen-dysbiosis connection, variability in prebiotic response, and more!
