In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Vivek Lal joins Dr. Scott Sherr for a groundbreaking and eye-opening conversation about the gut-lung axis — the overlooked connection between your microbiome and your ability to breathe, perform, and recover. From inhaled probiotics to AI‑driven lung therapy, this episode bridges clinical science and next‑gen wellness in a way you’ve never heard before.

Join us as we delve into:

• How gut bacteria directly influence lung inflammation, asthma, and COPD
• Why your lungs aren’t sterile — and what lives in them might save your life
• The rise of inhaled postbiotics and what “air as medicine” really means
• Cutting-edge lung science: AI, organoids, omics, and future therapies

This episode is for you if:

• You’ve never heard of the gut-lung axis but want to breathe, sleep, and recover better
• You or someone you love has asthma, COPD, or unexplained breathing issues
• You’re fascinated by how microbiomes affect health far beyond the gut
• You want smarter, not harder, ways to optimize lung health and longevity

Most people obsess over biohacks, supplements, and high-tech gear… but almost nobody talks about the foundation of health: your feet.

From barefoot training and toe strength to floor sitting, proprioception, and play, Josh reveals why your feet are the ultimate biohack for both lifespan and healthspan. Discover how strengthening your toes can prevent falls, sharpen your brain, and even deepen your human connections.

• The barefoot shoe study that showed a 57% increase in strength

• How floor sitting rewires your hips, balance, and posture

• “Foot mojo” and how to reconnect with your body through play

This episode is for you if:

• You want practical, low-cost tools to improve your healthspan

• You’re curious about barefoot training, grounding, and proprioception

• You’ve ever wondered if shoes are helping or harming your body

• You want to laugh, learn, and rethink the way you move every day
