The Functionality of Fiber: Caring for Your Gut Microbiome
Update: 2025-07-29
Description
There's still so much to learn about the gut microbiome. For example, do we have any other microbiomes in our bodies? What comes first, a chronic disease or an altered gut microbiome? And do those home testing kits really work?
On this episode of On Nutrition, we talk with gastroenterologist Dr. Purna Kashyap about why we need to keep our gut microbes healthy, the importance of fiber, and the pros and cons of pre- and probiotics.
