On this episode, Críonna is joined by Dr. Orla O'Sullivan, PhD, researcher & expert in get health. Orla's research focuses primarily on the impact of exercise on the health of our gut bugs. 

There is so much talk about the impact of diet on gut health but not so much on the role of exercise.

In this fascinating discussion they explore:

• What the gut microbiome actually refers to & it's role in health
  
  


• Lifestyle factors that influence gut health
  
  


• Whether exercise can train the bugs in our gut & which type of exercise is better
  
  


• Whether different athletes have different types & amounts of bacteria in their gut depending on their training & how this translates into performance benefits
  
  


• Whether this is a tool being used by athletes at the moment to support performance
  
  


• Whether untrained people can train their gut bugs to support health
