He introduces his pioneering work on the world’s first lung-supporting probiotic, which has shown promise in improving lung health naturally through gut microbiome modulation. The conversation dives into how the right probiotics and a healthy diet can reduce inflammation and support not only the gut but also the lungs and other organs.

Dr. Lal also discusses his approach to creating science-backed supplements through rigorous research typically used for drug development.
