146: How a Healthy Microbiome Impacts Longevity, Part 1 with Kiran Krishnan

Release Date:

Kiran Krishnan, the Founder of Microbiome Labs, joins me today for the first part of a two-part series on how a healthy microbiome impacts longevity. Kiran is a pure genius and unpacks a lot in this series! 
Today, in Part 1, he provides in-depth examples of why gut health translates into full-body health. He gets into what spore-based probiotics are and where they come from, and he also shares about psycho-biotics for mental health.
Ways in which spores change the terrain in the gut:

They modulate the immune response against other microbes

They produce compounds that target certain organisms and modulate certain aspects of the immune response

They increase the monitoring, scope, and understanding of the microbial environment for your intestinal lining cells and immune cells 

They directly impact the presence of pathogens
