Episode notes

Jonathan Gruber: We don't feel comfortable that just using a microbiome test on its own is enough to advise you on what to eat. He says as a doctor, it's about integrating all of the available information and getting more clarity in terms of what defines an individual person. Gruber: No matter who you are, we all should start where we are today and strive towards an even healthier gut.

Our gut helps fight disease. It processes energy for us and boosts our mood. So, having a healthy gut is extremely important – but there’s still a lot we don’t know.

Gut biome tests are a new, exciting technology, but are they the be-all and end-all for dietary decision-making? And are there simpler ways — and tastier ways, perhaps — to tell what’s happening inside our bodies?

In today’s short episode of ZOE Science & Nutrition, Jonathan and Dr. Will ask: What are the signs of an unhealthy gut? And how can we improve our gut health?
