I think it's important to note that we are effectively a microbial system, right?

We mentioned that we've got anywhere from three to ten times more microbial cells,

at a minimum 150 times more microbial DNA.

Hello and welcome to the Dr. Jocker's Functional Nutrition Podcast,

the show designed to give you science-based solutions

to improve your health and life. I'm David Jockers, doctor of natural medicine, chiropractor,

and functional nutritionist. And I'm the host on this podcast. And I'm here to tell you that your

body was created to heal itself. And on this show, we focus on strategies

you can apply today to heal and function at your best. Thanks for spending time with me,

and let's go into the show. Well, hey guys, welcome back to the Dr. Jocker's Functional Nutrition Podcast, where we really

believe that the body was created to heal itself. And when we line up the right lifestyle habits,

our body will do what it was designed to do, which is heal and regenerate the cells

and give us the best quality of life and the best life expression

possible. And so today we're going to talk a lot about the microbiome and how you can optimize

your microbiome so you can be at your best. And I've got a friend of mine, Kieran Krishnan.

He's a research microbiologist. He's been involved in the dietary supplement

and nutrition market for the past 17 years, makes some fantastic products that we'll talk about

as we get going here. Kieran also established a clinical research organization where he has

designed and conducted dozens of clinical trials in human nutrition. So Kieran, welcome to the podcast,

and I've been looking forward to this conversation for a while. Yeah, thank you so much for having me.

It's a pleasure to be here. Well, absolutely. Well, I know you're one of the leading experts in the

natural health world when it comes to the microbiome, which we know plays such a big role in health.
