The Toxin In Your Gut That's Slowly Killing You (here's the fix) : 1506
Summary
Dave Asprey interviews microbiologist Kieran Krishnan on using spore-based probiotics to restore gut diversity and boost butyrate production for longevity. They discuss how these resilient strains survive stomach acid, reduce endotoxemia, and modulate the immune system without triggering inflammation. The episode highlights the link between microbiome health, chronic disease risk, and the impact of environmental toxins like glyphosate on gut bacteria.
