Improve Gut Health & The Microbiome w/Kiran Krishnan (HHF 33)

If you want to prevent or heal from chronic health issues, then you must improve gut health. By now, we’ve all heard just how important our gut microbes are in maintaining health. But, how exactly do we fix a broken microbiome.

To help answer this question, I talked with Kiran Krishnan, one of the leading experts in the microbiome. Kiran is a scientific advisor for Just Thrive Probiotic and is the Chief Scientific Officer of Microbiome Labs.

During this interview, we discussed how to improve gut health and a whole lot more. 

Topics covered include: 

  • The long-lasting effects of antibiotics, and how one round can affect your gut for 2 years.
  • Endotoxemia, LPS and why to avoid a high fat diet.
  • What foods are best for the microbiome.
  • How to improve microbial diversity
  • Why spore-based probiotics are key to permanently improve gut health
