What We Got Wrong About the Gut Microbiome (And What's Actually Right)

Описание

We hear a lot about improving gut health through food, probiotics, and supplements. But after more than a decade of major advances in microbiome research, the picture has become both more promising and more complex. In this episode, I’m joined by gastroenterologist and neuroscientist Dr. Emeran Mayer, co-author of the new book The Mayer Model, to explore how our understanding of the gut-brain connection has evolved—and what we may still be getting wrong. We also look at what this growing field could mean for chronic disease and healthy aging. Here’s what you’ll learn: How your gut microbiome communicates with your brain, immune system, hormones, and metabolism Why diet alone may not be enough to improve gut health—and how sleep, stress, exercise, relationships, and purpose also shape your microbiome How modern diets and lifestyles have created a mismatch between our microbes and human biology Why probiotics and microbiome testing may not provide the personalized answers many people expect How fiber, polyphenols, fermented foods, and greater plant diversity help support a healthier, more resilient microbiome The food we eat matters, but so do the ways we move, sleep, manage stress, and connect with others. Supporting gut health isn’t about finding one magic solution. It’s about creating a healthier, more resilient system over time. Beginning September 1, Dr. Mayer’s team is offering my audience a collection of bonuses to accompany The Mayer Model. To learn more about the book and access the bonuses, click here.
