126: The secret life of microbes (and how it impacts YOU)
Your microbiome may be THE most important way to control your gut health and the health of your entire body.
But we’ve only just started to scratch the surface of our understanding of this critical part of our bodies.
Fortunately, lots of people are leading the way on this — including my guest today.
He’s John Fennebresque, the co-founder and CEO of Gusto Global, a biotech company that’s on the cutting edge of answering the “why” and “how” of our microbiomes.
And on today’s episode, John and I are going to talk all about the microbiome, its connection to the COVID-19 pandemic, and what all this research means for YOU and your health.
