In this episode, we talk all things microbiome. Our guest is Professor Erica Sonnenberg from Stanford University. We discuss why the microbiome is so important, how it affects not only our physical health, but also our mental health, how we can better take care of our microbiome, and even whether or not probiotic supplements work. At the end, we also talk to Amy Hanus from Full Plate Living all about fiber, one of the easiest things you can focus on to nourish your gut!
