About this listen

In this episode, we talk about how gut bacteria shape human health, why ninety-nine percent of the body’s genes come from microbes, and how grains, beans, peanuts, cashews, and nightshades can break the gut lining apart. We break down how a fecal transplant passed on obesity, how a liter of olive oil per week protects memory and cuts breast cancer rates, and how one patient cleared fifty percent of heart blockages by feeding gut bacteria the right way. Companies like Costco and Trader Joe’s pop up too — showing where people get the foods that help or hurt their hidden gut community.
