Episode notes

The jury's still out in terms of how the microbiome either regulates your sleep patterns and vice versa. Susan, this has been extremely interesting. I'm really interested to see your work on the fat cell kind of microbe interaction,. That piece and what comes of that going forward. So I'd love to have you back on it at some stage. If folks listening would like to keep up to date with your work, keep an eye on some of those things that we've discussed or connect with you online.
