In this episode, Elisa Morales, Ph.D., joins me to discuss the in's and out's of the human gut microbiota, the differences between prebiotics, probiotics, symbiotics, and postbiotics, as well as other things like Alpha Diversity and how the athlete's gut microbiota differs from the non-athlete's gut microbiota. She also explains the effects of the different macronutrients and Calorie intake/expenditure on the microbiome, as well as what/when to eat or supplement to maximize health, immune function, performance, and recovery.
Dr. Morales is a Fulbright Alum, fellow Baylor Bear (Sic 'em!) and currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Texas, focusing her research on obesity, gut microbiome, nutrition/supplements, and exercise.
