Episode 52: Ground Zero for Gut Health: Probiotics, Microbiota Manipulation and Dr. Jason Hawrelak

The centrality of gut health in overall health cannot be
overstated, and for many years researchers and practitioners have
encouraged probiotic use to promote gut health. But their
recommendations have been based on early and inchoate research.
Today, several decades after the emergence of gut health as the
ground zero of overall health, science has been able to correlate
specific bacterial strains with specific health outcomes—and one
man has spent years anthologizing all that research and making it
available to practitioners and patients. Dr. Jason Hawrelak is a
scientist, educator, and naturopathic physician. He’s one of the
leading experts in microbiota manipulation and the use of specific
strains for specific conditions. He is also the creator of
probioticsadvisor.com, where practitioners and patients can access
information about specific bacterial strains. Check out my
conversation with Dr Hawrelak on NFFM. I am thrilled to be
introduced to his work (have referred folks to him already), and so
appreciate his dedication to crunching the data for us clinicians
on Probioticadvisor.com.
