    Dr. Neil and I dive into the complexity of the gut microbiome, challenging the notion that a single probiotic strain can fix everything. We explore how diversity—not one 'superbug'—may be the real key to gut health. We also unpack how fecal transplants work, why antibiotics often do more harm than good, and if fermented foods are necessary or ideal.

    Dr. Neil Stollman is a practicing gastroenterologist based in Oakland, California, and serves as voluntary faculty at UCSF. A pioneer in the field of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), he has been involved in gut microbiome research and treatment for over two decades. Known for his work with Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and broader gut health issues, Dr. Stollman brings a balanced and often humorous perspective to microbiome science.

  • In this solo episode, I wanted to share some real talk. Context matters. Whether talking about health, science, or the people we follow for guidance, it’s easy to get swept up in headlines, credentials, or even a few well-spoken soundbites. But beneath the surface, we have to ask better questions. Who’s funding the research? What patterns show up over time in someone's stance? What are the biases and motives?

    I share some tools I personally use when evaluating health info (or really, anything): assessing character, noticing patterns over time, and sometimes, simply trusting my gut. My hope is that this episode empowers you to be both curious and cautious, confident yet open-minded, and above all, grounded in your own values as you navigate your health journey.
