- A follow-up to Dr. Dempsey’s episode: Microbiome deep dive

- Polyphenols are used by gut microbes to produce smaller beneficial, anti-inflammatory metabolites that the body uses to maintain optimal health.

- These metabolites have a range of benefits: gut motility, inflammation, brain health, immune health, and more

- A poor microbiome (ie. dysbiosis) leads to harmful metabolites

- The microbiome takes a little time to build up and diversify

- Large & stable polyphenols are metabolized by the microbiome to produce metabolites we commonly supplement with such as quercetin. Therefore, a restored microbiome will provide you with those metabolites without needing to supplement.

- “Sporebiotics” vs. Probiotics

- How exactly do sporebiotics work?

- Sporebiotics are emerging and could be an ultimate gut health biohack

- You can buy hundreds of supplements OR you can optimize your gut and get the same benefits

- Fecal microbial transplant research

- Rebuilding the gut microbiome
