Essentials: How to Build, Maintain & Repair Gut Health | Dr. Justin Sonnenburg

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. Justin
Sonnenburg, PhD, a professor of microbiology and immunology at
Stanford University. We discuss how microbes in our gut impact our
mental and physical health and how diet and the environment affect
the gut microbiome. We explain how lifestyle factors such as
antibiotics and Western-style diets (high fat, low fiber and rich
in processed foods) can damage gut diversity and whether prebiotics
or probiotics are useful tools. Throughout the episode, we
highlight evidence-based dietary and lifestyle strategies for
improving gut health. Episode show notes:
