Hey everybody Kevin Rose here. Welcome back to another episode of the Kevin Rose show. This is a really important episode because it is not that often that you run into and meet a founder and are introduced to a company that has had for me such a big

huge material impact on my health and this is one of those things that it's not

just subjective feeling but it's actually measurable in my blood work and in my day-to-day life in monitoring my glucose levels.

So I'm excited to tell you all about this crazy

probiotic but one of the things that was tricky for me in recording this

episode is how I present this information to you because I didn't want it to come

off sounding like an ad and the tricky part is that I'm a partner of course over at True

Ventures most of you know that and we invested in this company. That's how I actually was

introduced to the company, how I first heard about it. The company did not ask me to record the

podcast, nor are they paying for me to do this in any form including

through their product I actually buy the product directly personally on my own credit card

through their website I'm not reimbursed for it. So there is no exchange of money in any way.

You know, if you follow my newsletter or my podcast over the years, you'll know that this is something I take really

seriously. I don't too pay for play it's just not in my DNA it's not worth the money or the reputation damage.

So but this is a real story of something that happened to me and I'll I guess that's the best place to start off is with the story itself and that is that I first was introduced to Dr. Peter Tia. You may know the Peter Tia drive his podcast. You know he's been a guest on Joe Roggan and Tim Ferris,

a really well-known doctor

that specializes in longevity and prevention of disease.

And so, a Tia brought me on as a patient, I guess about four or so years ago.

We started off by doing a really deep dive into my blood work and doing a slew of different tests,

including what's called a glucose tolerance test and that is

where you drink this really sugary drink it's 100% glucose and you have your blood drawn

before you do the drink so at an in a fasting state and then it's also drawn every I think 20 or 30 minutes for about an hour and a half.
