Dr. Shayne Morris didn't stumble into the microbiome world — he inherited it. Now CEO of both Systemic Formulas and Alimentum Labs, Shayne's grandfather started the company back in 1984 as a healer studying Eastern, Polynesian, and South American medicine, and Shayne spent his career turning that legacy into hard science: how nature actually produces healing, and why the microbes living in and on us — which outweigh every other living thing on the planet combined — do more biochemical work than our own 23,000 genes ever could. In this episode, we get into herbal genomics (Shayne coined the term "herbalomics" back when he realized compounds like turmeric were directly switching genes on and off), why methylated vitamins were considered fringe in 2007 when Systemic started using them, and the surprisingly recent science connecting fungal overgrowth to childhood ADHD and eczema.
We also break down the Holobiome Roadmap — Systemic's five-stage system designed to make gut and cellular health personalized without handing a patient fourteen different bottles and no instructions — and why compliance, not complexity, is usually what determines whether a protocol actually works. Along the way: the real story behind why doctors started washing their hands between autopsies and deliveries, and details on Systemic's NextGen event in Ogden, Utah (September 18–20), where Freddie will be speaking on sales as a role of service.
