In today's episode,  we delve into the fascinating world of your gut microbiome—often called your 'second brain'—with leading expert Dr. Jason Hawrelak - a  researcher, educator, and naturopath with 25 years’ clinical experience. 

We explore how modern diets and environmental toxins are decimating our gut health, with shocking revelations about how 'forever chemicals' and the impact on our hea;th. 

From explaining faecal transplants to understanding the critical role of probiotics during antibiotic treatment, this conversation uncovers cutting-edge research about the gut-brain connection and its impact on ageing, mental health, and overall wellbeing. 

Whether you're struggling with digestive issues or simply want to optimise your health through personalised nutrition, this episode provides practical strategies to protect and enhance your microbiome in our modern toxic world.

Key Topics:


The Gut-Brain Connection: Exploring the microbiome as a 'second brain' and its communication pathways with the central nervous system


Modern Diet Challenges: Processed foods, emulsifiers, and preservatives' impact on gut health and the microbiome


Faecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT): Historical context and current applications in treating various health conditions


Environmental Toxins: Examining 'forever chemicals', microplastics, and their effects on gut health and human organs


Antibiotics and Probiotics: Guidelines for probiotic use during antibiotic treatment and the role of Saccharomyces boulardii


Ageing and the Microbiome: How gut bacteria changes with age, implications for health, and the Japanese 'ikigai' approach to healthy ageing


Personalised Nutrition: The future of microbiome testing and customised dietary interventions based on individual gut profiles

Key Takeaways:


Minimise ultra-processed foods and preservatives to protect your gut barrier, which houses 80% of your immune system.


When prescribed antibiotics, take Saccharomyces boulardii a few hours after each dose to support your gut health.


Reduce exposure to 'forever chemicals' by choosing plastic-free food storage and minimising packaged foods.


Eat a varied diet whilst young to build a diverse microbiome that will serve you well into old age.


Follow the Japanese 'ikigai' principle by growing your own vegetables and staying active to maintain gut health as you age.


Manage your stress levels actively, as there's a direct two-way relationship between stress and gut health.
