Summary
In this episode, I’m speaking with Dr. Jason Hawrelak, world-renowned microbiome expert, gastrointestinal specialist, and author of over 60 research papers dedicated to gut health. He is, in my opinion, one of the foremost gut/microbiome experts on the planet. So this is a MUST-listen.
In this podcast, Dr. Hawrelak and I discuss:
-
The invisible but highly active “organ” that affects everything from mitochondrial function to our nervous system to cancer treatment outcomes
-
The truth behind microbiome testing and what to know before you get your results
-
3 primary connections between your microbiome and mitochondria
-
The mitochondrial poison some people produce in their own GI tract connected to Alzheimer’s, blood sugar dysregulation, and neurotransmitter imbalance
2 GI and mitochondrial-damaging substances that most Americans consume every day -
The crucial short-chain fatty acid created by your microbiome that feeds your colon…and your mitochondria

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, this is Ari. Welcome back to the Energy Blueprint podcast. |
| 0:11.0 | With me today is one of the absolute creme de la creme of gut health and microbiome experts |
| 0:17.7 | in the world. This is someone who is my go-to expert for all things related to the gut and |
| 0:25.2 | the microbiome. I've had the pleasure of taking one of his courses. He's a professor at multiple |
| 0:30.9 | universities who teaches on gut health and the microbiome. He's also the head of research at |
| 0:36.4 | probiotic advisor.com, which is basically an |
| 0:39.2 | encyclopedic reference and kind of search engine where you can put in either specific |
| 0:46.0 | strains of probiotics and find all the research on what their, you know, what the scientific |
| 0:51.8 | evidence has shown those strains to be beneficial for. |
| 0:54.5 | So do it in reverse, where you put in the specific symptom or condition, and it will immediately |
| 1:00.3 | pump out a whole list of all the specific studies showing what strains of specific bacteria, |
| 1:07.9 | probiotics, have been shown to be beneficial in the context of treating that symptom |
| 1:13.1 | or condition. This is an extremely valuable resource, particularly for practitioners, |
| 1:19.8 | and not enough practitioners and clinicians actually know about this. So part of what I want to do |
| 1:26.5 | this podcast for is just to help people |
| 1:28.2 | know this literature more because, you know, having taken a course with Dr. Harlach, |
| 1:33.8 | it's clear to me that there are levels of knowledge around the microbiome and around things |
| 1:39.7 | like probiotics. And he is just levels above most people in this area. His passion for gastrointestinal |
| 1:48.5 | health and the microbiome and probiotics was ignited during his final year of undergraduate |
| 1:54.0 | training in 1999. He went on to do his honors first class and PhD degrees in the areas of gastrointestinal microbiota, |
| 2:04.0 | irritable bowel syndrome, and the clinical applications |
| 2:06.7 | of pre and probiotics. |
