How A Specially Engineered Bacterial Strain Can Allow You To Enjoy Drinking Alcohol Without Toxic Hangovers, With ZBiotics Zack Abbott.

Imagine waking up to a morning with clear thoughts and a body that's ready to leap out of bed - even after a night that included a few glasses of your favorite Cabernet.
Sound impossible? Not anymore.
My curiosity always gets the best of me, especially when it involves the cutting edge of health technology. That's why when I heard about today's guest Zack Abbott's quest to conquer the after-effects of alcohol with something as simple as a probiotic, I knew I had to get the full story.
Picture this: A scientist working diligently in an HIV research lab, struck by a lightning bolt of inspiration. This isn't the beginning of a sci-fi movie; it's Zack's real-life journey as a revolutionary thinker who saw potential where others only saw a dead end. Zack's credentials are as impressive as his ambition – a PhD in Microbiology and immunology, paired with hands-on experience in clinical trial design, has armed him with the expertise to turn visionary concepts into tangible solutions.
With the company that resulted from his aha! moment, ZBiotics, Zack is carving a new path in the health industry. Launching the world’s first genetically engineered probiotic is no small feat, and the implications are massive. Not only has he opened up a new way to diminish the dreaded hangover, but he's also paving the road for a future where probiotics go beyond gut health, potentially transforming the approach to everyday wellness.
In this episode, Zack and I delve into the science of probiotics like never before. We'll uncover the secrets behind genetically engineering these tiny allies to tackle acetaldehyde, explore the potential future applications of Zack's technology, and maybe even touch on how a classical art & archaeology background pairs with modern genetic innovation. Prepare to look at your morning-after in a whole new light.
