You may have tuned into my interview with Dr. Brian Lenzkes on the Life's Best Medicine podcast back in April(if not, you can listen here!). We discussed the microbiome triggers for diseases, the multitude of factors that affect the gut microbiome, diet and lifestyle changes to support gut health, and much more.
Today I'm honored to share I am back on the Life's Best Medicine Podcast for a second interview with Dr. Lenzkes!
In this conversation of the Life's Best Medicine Podcast, I discuss our clinical trial to alter glucose and fructose metabolism. Early data indicates promising results, including decreased fasting blood glucose and improved patient outcomes related to cravings and weight loss. The conversation also explores the influence of gut microbiome health on various medical conditions and potential dietary impacts.
It is a packed episode and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Thanks so much for Dr. Lenzkes for his support and the great work he is doing on his podcast.
In a recent interview, Chris Wark spoke with Martha Carlin—author of Connected: Love Loss and the Unseen Forces Behind Chronic Disease, microbiome researcher, and founder of BiotiQuest—about her 24-year journey investigating the root causes of neurodegenerative and metabolic diseases.
At the end of August, I flew from Kentucky to Australia for three weeks. By the time I arrived in Canberra, I had crossed the International Date Line, lost an entire day, and completely flipped my normal schedule. I did what I could to prepare. I fasted before the flight, took my Simple Slumber and another herbal sleep supplement, and managed to get some sleep on the overnight flight. Even so, I arrived expecting my body to have absolutely no idea what time it was. What surprised me was how quickly it began to figure it out.
Behind closed eyes, the brain is carrying out a carefully coordinated night shift. And research into the microbiome raises an intriguing question: how might the activity in our gut influence the sleep that gives this work its opportunity?
