You are more microbe than human and your gut bacteria are deciding whether you heal or stay sick. Research microbiologist and gut health pioneer Kiran Krishnan breaks down the gut-brain connection, how childhood trauma lives in your microbiome, why a single course of antibiotics can wipe out 90% of your gut, and why no matter what your body has been through, repair is always possible.
In this episode we cover:
— The gut-brain axis and why your gut controls your mood, anxiety, and nervous system
— How stress triggers fight-or-flight and destroys your microbiome from the inside
— Childhood trauma and how it imprints on your gut bacteria for decades
— The root cause behind PCOS, diabetes, lupus, and chronic inflammation
— Why the people you live with are shaping your biology right now
— The vaginal microbiome, declining fertility, and what no one is talking about
— Why most probiotics don't work and what actually does
— How to test your microbiome the right way
— The oral microbiome and why your mouthwash might be making you sick
