| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the Energy Blueprint Podcast. I'm your host, Ari Whitten, and with me now is Kieran Krishnan, who is a microbiologist. He is a research microbiologist, I should say. He's an expert in |
| 0:23.8 | gut health in particular. And this is someone that I recently interviewed for my upcoming summit, |
| 0:30.2 | the Superhuman Energy Summit, on the gut mitochondria axis. And he's absolutely just blew me away with his level of knowledge on this so I |
| 0:40.8 | said I need to have you back we need to do another interview get it on my podcast and since that time |
| 0:47.2 | the whole coronavirus epidemic that we all know about obviously has exploded and that's on everybody's |
| 0:54.1 | mind and it's the thing that we all can't, obviously, has exploded, and that's on everybody's mind, and it's the thing |
| 0:55.1 | that we all can't stop talking about. So I said, you know, let's do another one, and let's |
| 1:00.5 | specifically talk about immune health and the relationship of the gut to immune health and, |
| 1:06.2 | you know, all the different layers there. There's a gut immune access, a gut lung access. |
| 1:12.2 | He's got some fascinating information to share with us. So I am super excited to get into it. Welcome back. |

| 1:29.2 | of podcasts recently on COVID-19. Let's assume the listener has a good level of basic knowledge around |

| 1:45.0 | Yeah. |
| 1:46.0 | You know, one of the big things is obviously that at the moment, all we have in our defense |
| 1:51.0 | is obviously our behaviors, you know, if you're social distancing and things like that, |
| 1:55.0 | you can reduce your risk of getting exposed to it. |
| 1:58.0 | But the biggest thing we have in our favor is our immune system. It's our |
| 2:02.2 | immune system that has to deal with this particular pathogen should we come in contact with it. |
| 2:07.7 | And of course, our immune system has never seen it before. And so it's a different type of |
| 2:12.6 | immune response when it comes to something that your immune system hasn't seen before. And the angle that's important that I don't think people are talking about quite enough |
