The Microbiome Expert: How to Stop Gut Damage, Heal Inflammation & Change Your Brain

You carry 2.5 million microbial genes. You carry 22,000 human ones. You are more microbe than you are you, and those microbes are deciding whether you heal or stay sick. Kiran Krishnan is a research microbiologist who has spent years studying what most doctors still overlook, and this conversation will change how you understand your own body. In this episode we go deep on: -Why stress acts like an antibiotic inside your gut How childhood trauma imprints on your microbiome and shows up as disease decades later — The connection between gut bacteria and anxiety, PCOS, diabetes, and autoimmunity — Why a single course of antibiotics can wipe out 90% of your gut microbes — The "home biome" how the people you live with are shaping your health right now — What's actually driving the decline in fertility, and what the vaginal microbiome has to do with it — Why most gut tests are worthless and what to look for instead — The supplement that increased microbial diversity by 30% in three weeks — And why no matter what your body has been through, repair is always possible This is not surface-level health content. This is the episode you send to someone who's been sick, inflamed, anxious, or stuck, and doesn't know why. 🔗 Learn more about Kiran Krishnan's work:   / kiranbiome   New episodes every Tuesday.
