Kiran has also conducted many research studies and published chapters in scientific textbooks. He has global patents and has become a sought-after speaker on human health and the microbiome.

In our discussion, we dive into leaky gut, its contributing factors, and the roles of endotoxins and lipopolysaccharides. We clarify postprandial endotoxemia, exploring how perimenopause and menopause affect the microbiome and the impact of oral contraceptives and synthetic hormones. We highlight common symptoms of gastrointestinal issues, including problems associated with bloating, and explain how the immune system- innate and adaptive, impacts gut health. We also discuss the significance of keystone species like akkermansia, the importance of diversity, the role of stool testing, and the value of fiber, touching on the polarizing nature of dietary dogma and improving gut health through supplementation and lifestyle changes.

This conversation is the first in a series on the gut microbiome, and I am confident you will enjoy it.
