According to VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) the official national vaccine safety monitoring system powered by the CDC (Center for Disease Control), there are over 1,500,000 sustained vaccine injuries (including death) attributed in part to the administrations of the COVID-19 mRNA platform vaccines.According to the Harvard-Pilgrim study, VAERS data is underreported (for many reasons) and in order to calculate an approximate volume total of events, a VAERS reader can apply a factor of as much as 100 to the displayed number. Most health statisticians use a minimum of a factor of 30. This puts the approximate number of COVID vaccine injures at over 45,000,000.Fortunately, a group of physicians have put YOUR safety and health first, regardless of the resistance and lack of support that they have endured from several US government health organizations. The FLCCC has released a protocol which is continuously updated. It is extensive and is accompanied by rationale while being reviewed by a multidiscipline panel of physicians.

The art of science & scientists (and healthcare providers) is purest when ALL questions and concerns can be heard, tested, and evaluated by multiple investigators… repeatedly.In this episode, you will hear about post injection injury data from the accounts of a Pathologist and a lipid nanoparticle healthcare expert.Unfortunately, there was an “event” that succeeded in turning the open discussion, the value of personal choice, the trust between physician and patient, all on its end. Dr. Drew Pinsky, MD, hosts a great podcast called “Ask Dr. Drew” and some of his recent episodes have been a real time window into his discovery and acceptance that our health institutions have possibly been heavily compromised.Dr. Drew and his co-host Kelly Victory, MD delivered some great first hand account of issues around the “event” and the popular injection platform that our health leaders essentially used fear and shame into public compliance.Join Ken & Eric as they breakdown some of the information shared from Dr. Drew’s show along with Ryan Cole, MD, and Richard Urso, MD.Referenced shows:https://open.spotify.com/episode/2MD90JOTDhHCtT5GndBzFKhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/5io38Tmxv3B6qBA6gSa5Ln?si=j9BIRmbTRHOXQoVnXVP0Uw

There’s no getting around it. We NEED fats in our diet and oils in many of our foods provide it. We were meant to eat the GOOD oils (Avocado, olive, coconut, Peanut(unrefined), flax, butter, ghee, tallow, lard, cocoa, Mac nut, almond, walnut, sesame, fish oil)In order to allow your body to stop fighting unnecessary inflammation, avoid excessive PUFAs! They are loaded in the bad oils (Soy, corn, vegetable, sunflower, safflower, CANOLA aka Rapeseed, grapeseed, cottonseed, ricebran, palm)BUT choosing the wrong oils to cook with, or the selecting packaged foods that might have certain oils in them could be keeping you overweight, tired, and giving you metabolic complications scubas migraines, body aches, and even sniffles or asthma.YES! All of those symptoms are more often than not related to an inflamed metabolic state that cannot manage the oxidative stress.HUGE thanks to Cate Shanahan, MD for an excellent outline to tackle so many aspects of this topic. Check out her website here: https://drcate.com/See her safe and dangerous oils table here: https://drcate.com/list-of-good-fats-and-oils-versus-bad/In this graph, think of the exploding issue of obesity, and notice how the danger fats consumption has gone up, while good fats like butter have gone down (Don’t use margarine!) https://drcate.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/essential-fatty-acid-intake-in-the-20th-century-B-1.jpgFurther reading on oils and their dangers: https://drcate.com/the-hateful-eight-enemy-fats-that-destroy-your-health/Please LIKE & SHARE this episode and thank YOU for joining us on the GCP!

Conscious intention… Balancing stoicism with urgency… How do the greats do it?So we began this episode by sharing with everyone that we were going to address “What’s in your pantry”. However, Ken took Eric on a journey of how impactful the “Waking Up” app along with its daily exercises and tactics has been.Through thoughtful engagement, Ken expresses how he is finding more value in his daily experiences. Modernity and much of Western culture can influence so many of us to spend so much of our time preparing and thinking only of the future, that the present never occurs.Ken shares how this acceptance through this daily lesson is allowing him to recognize and enjoy more of his daily experiences, maintain balance in stressful situations, and ultimately unlocking more joy for each day.Learn about the Waking up app here: https://www.wakingup.comPlease LIKE and SHARE this or any of our episodes and of course Thank YOU for joining the GCP!!!

All of us have experienced placing trust in certain authorities. But when those same authorities abuse that trust, what can be done about it?The health industry has several institutions, academies, and associations that all command a presence throughout the many disciplines of healthcare. Altruism in their pursuits SHOULD be a given.However, there is always a vulnerability for compromise whenever money and power become traded like commodities.Ken and Eric explore the documented exchange of email, favors, and payment that has recently been uncovered within the dietetics specialty. And this is not to believed to be the only specialty with this level of compromise. Actually quite the opposite. The GCP, Ken, & Eric want you to be vigilant, and more than likely, almost every organization with influence has some degree of deceit. You just have to know how to see through it.Please LIKER and SHARE and thank YOU for joining the Gut Check Project!

Were you aware that every 68 seconds, an American suffers from sexual assault?It’s a sobering statistic that knows no boundaries from race or even sex. Females are most often the victim, however males can be subjected to the horrific act as well.Layne Garrett, LPC joins Ken & Eric on The Gut Check Project to discuss the barriers to helping those that may need an escape form the tortuous burden of having been a victim of a crime that they never deserved. Layne’s service is a noble cause, and one that we all probably may underestimate the scale of the actual number of people that need help. A former teacher, Layne has rededicated her career to hellion those that suffer in silence. But nobody needs to suffer alone, and there is hope to overcome the trauma. Making yourself aware of the clues might even provide some insight and you may notice a loved one of your own might need to talk with someone like Layne.There are all kinds of pathways to healthy living, and being consumed by the stress stemming from trauma is worth addressing. How prevalent might these scenarios be? Here are some numbers to consider:§ 70% of sexual assaults are committed by a perpetrator known or related to the victim (1)§ 2 in 5 women in Texas have been sexually assaulted (2)§ 1 in 5 men in Texas have been sexual assaulted (2)§ 6.3 million Texans have experienced some form of sexual assault in their lifetime (2)· 1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime (14.8% completed, 2.8% attempted).· About 3% of American men—or 1 in 33—have experienced an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime.· A majority of child victims are 12-17. Of victims under the age of 18: 34% of victims of sexual assault and rape are under age 12, and 66% of victims of sexual assault and rape are age 12-17.· 9 out of every 10 victims of rape are women.Join Layne with Ken & Eric as they discuss what sexual trauma therapy looks like, what goals can be attained, techniques like EMDR, and why there truly is how for a better life for all victims of traumatic events.CONNECT WITH LAYNE:[email protected] LIKE & SHARE, and THANK YOU for joining the GCP!

Ryan “Birdman” Parrott was a trained sniper in his SEAL team. After transitioning out of the SEAL teams, there was an assumption that they were safe, back home on American soil. On January 2nd, 2019, Birdman received a call from a teammate, stating that his SEAL team partner David R. Metcalf had taken his own life. As he navigated his own grief, Birdman was inspired to do more than simply mourn. The issues facing war tattered and battle worn veterans is far beyond just a label of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Birdman recognized that despite the well intentioned non-profits to help these vets, we continue to lose thousands of military members and first responders every year. Army Veteran Daniel Somers wrote this in his suicide note in 2013: “I am left with basically nothing. Too trapped in a war to be at peace, too damaged to be at war.” As with Birdman’s observations, Daniel’s words suggest that there is a whole body element to post traumatic stress that is being missed. Birdman reached out to a physician to discuss human performance in people with trauma. His hypothesis was to test these individuals on a physiological level and obtain a baseline. Birdman has assembled a world class team of Physicians, Ph.D.’s, Phycologists, Physiatrists, Sports Physiologists, and former Special Operators to make up the Human Performance Project. The mission is to create a manual to guide the tactical population, enabling them to thrive upon entry, during and post service. Ken & Eric are honored to host Birdman on the GCP.

You know the importance of fiber, right? So many digestive issues could be improved or even avoided with the right amount and type of fiber consumed. But where do you get enough? Can great tasting WATER actually be source of fiber?Martin Ruette is the founder of Vibi+ fiber water. Martinis a serial entrepreneur and in this episode he details his near-death experience from a perforated diverticulitis infection! Martin also discusses his long recovery and ultimately how it led to chronic digestive issues. Realizing that he needed more fiber he was in a constant struggle to consume enough fiber because of his digestive issues.He knew that he needed to find a solution in order to actually improve.For the next 15 years he worked with scientists in Brazil, Europe, and the US to ultimately develop Vibi+ water with a prebiotic called polydextrose. Join Ken and Martin as they discuss Martin’s WHY and PURPOSE to help others avoid what he went through.

You, as a human, are by nature a social creature. That doesn’t just mean that you have the ability to meet people and congregate. In fact, it is ESSENTIAL that you seek and develop bond with other humans. Your very health depends upon it. But how exactly does this work? And what will it do for you? You most likely know that smoking is bad for you. Well, being lonely is just as bad to your longevity and health span. Simply, we are hard-wired biologically to socialize and there is evolutionary reasoning. There are ways to increase your social circle. And in this episode we feature a call during the show with Delaney Shiu who is in med school and she explains what her med school is doing to make sure they develop social circles for long term success! Join Ken & Eric on the GCP for some socializing and friend making!

Have you voluntarily avoided eating for a purpose? To “fast” is to do exactly that. Maybe you had a surgical procedure and you were instructed to not eat for several hours. Maybe you have participated in a fast for a religious exercise. Or possibly you’ve attempted fasting to lose weight. What you may not have known is that there are direct benefits to your health by utilizing fasting and adhering to the exercise itself. From water fasts of no food for multiple days to intermittent fasting by only consuming all of tour daily calories within a specific amount of time each day, there are tangible benefits to for someone that implements fasting as a part of the health maintenance. Most importantly, you can use fasting as one of the no cost tools to improve your health span in order to achieve optimal longevity. Join Ken & Eric as they discuss the many avenues of fasting and what health gains you can achieve on the GCP!

Supplement companies, exercise groups, religious & spiritual organizations, and clean food experts are only SOME of the people that are talking longevity. But what does it mean to YOU? Living long is not the same as living well, comfortable, and healthy. Lifespan should be best matched with your HEALTHSPAN. That means giving you the best quality of life possible. What’s great is that every single group that is talking about longevity is also describing key elements to improve your healthspan. Join Ken & Eric on the GCP to kick off this topic as they break down the categories and pillars of healthspan and longevity today!

“Gimme your poo!” Not a typical request, but evidence is mounting regarding using other peoples healthy fecal matter to heal the sick. It’s officially called Fecal Microbial Transplant (FMT), and it may sound wild, but some direct results have demonstrated success. So can anybody just swap poop for health??? NO! The knowledge isn’t quite there yet, but what is known is that almost any biological process of one person can be transferred. However, that includes the good AND the bad. What about Inter-species FMT? Funny, Eric tells of his own personal experience doing exactly that!!! So clean off the bottoms of your shoes and be careful as you step into this episode of the GCP with Ken & Eric.

To follow up our health benefits discussion in episode 70, you need to know how to make Yerba mate safe for you. Does organic matter? Do people that drink mate actually increase their risk of cancers? What method is the best way to prepare mate to avoid danger? Join Ken and Eric as they break down some demo data and discuss how you can safely approach enjoying this South American specialty drink with your friends and family! Please be sure to like and share and thank YOU for joining us on the GCP!

Yerba Mate is a name that’ll grab your attention, and it’s much easier to say than Ilex paraguariensis, which is the plant that it is made from . You have probably seen Yerba mate listed on a can or two of an energy drink, and it’s no accident. This natural drink packs a lot of potential benefit. It’s not exactly coffee, not exactly tea, although it’s very similar to both. Having roots in ceremonial gatherings of friends and family, this cold brewed drink is steeped in water, and then enjoyed with quick slurps from a guampa or porongo (cup made from a gourd) with a special bombilla (straw) usually made of wood. Well who in the world drinks this stuff? For almost every country in South America, the consumption of Yerba Mate or just mate is a daily occurrence. And although highly consumed, what many may not know is that when consumed safely, Yerba mate is very healthy and can potentially supplement the consumer with great polyphenol and other benefits. BUT… there is a RIGHT and WRONG way to consume mate, and the method can actually determine if the drink is more friend or foe for those that drink it! Join Ken & Eric for episode 70 to be formally introduced to mate and understand why this small custom might become a part of your routine.

Kiran Krishnan is a microbiologist that has made huge waves in health and microbiome science. Well beyond concepts, Kiran has helped engineer, create, and study Spore probiotic delivery systems. It is incredibly unique in that before Microbiome Labs' data, there was almost no conclusive evidence to demonstrate probiotic efficacy en vivo (in humans/living animals). Kiran shares with GCP the basics of natural vaccination that we all should be doing everyday.

Are puberty blockers safe for children? Exactly who is talking to our children about these drugs? It is a situation that not a large percentage of parents ever really have to face. Or do they? Chris Elston (AKA “Billboard Chris”) joins the GCP for this episode to discuss why he has earned his nickname, and why he is working so hard to educate the public in the western world about his frightening discoveries. Chris is a father of two girls and he decided to take a stand. Chris explains that children should be free to be who they are — not indoctrinated to believe they were born in the wrong body. The indoctrination is the biggest issue where Chris has identified a danger that parents may not know exists. Puberty Blockers are the first step in a medical pathway that brings physical harm to children. Chris demonstrates that activists have not been transparent regrading the effects of these drugs, and the cross-sex hormones which almost always follow. In addition, there are many instances where supervisors of children such as teachers and counselors are given authority to initiate gender transformation without parental consent or even knowledge. Chris highlights that children are to be protected by their legal guardians, and that they should be protected from lifelong potential health damaging decisions, which are irreversible, especially since they are minors.

What in the world is microdosing? Can “tiny doses” actually accomplish anything? The rate of young professionals and lay people turning to psilocybin and other similar natural substances to attempt to bring balance to their mood and brain health grows annually. It’s no secret that storied institutions such as Johns Hopkins are involved in serious research surrounding the psilocybin and psilocin molecules and how serotonin mimics may actually retrain our brains for the better. What’s really intriguing is the modern day dosing schedule followed by so many known as “microdosing”. A practice of consuming relatively small doses in successive days to effectively stimulate seretonin receptors. What’s more interesting is the last of cost against the economy of neurotransmission in the brain to make this happen. Join ken & Eric on the GCP, and LIKE AND SHARE! Thanks for Listening!

You have no doubt heard some debate on the health benefits of coffee. But what exactly can coffee do for your mental health? Coffee is naturally constructed to actually help your brain protect itself from inflammation and possibly Alzheimer’s disease, among a few other health issues. Coffee is actually healthy for us. But can we have too much of it? Sure. But that is not much of an answer. You can also drink too much water, eat too much food, sleep too much, etc… Excess of almost anything can be harmful. So that leaves us all wondering, “What is within coffee itself that could bring healthy benefits to our lives?” And how much coffee will bring the average adult benefit? Join our two resident coffee drinkers Ken & Eric and learn why coffee is awesome and why you should embrace your coffee habit! Please LIKE & SHARE, and thank you for joining the GCP!

I'm your host Eric Rinker, joined by my awesome co host, Dr. Kenneth Brown. And honestly you got a an awesome intro to make here for everybody.Ken Brown 3:52 Yeah, so we're super excited. This is something I'm extremely passionate about because we have the CEO and the lead scientist for a product that I believe in. I love I have my patients use. I have my staff use I have all my family use, and it is called Brain FM, this if you have any trouble focusing if you have any trouble sleeping, if you have any trouble with anxiety, there is a really, really cool way to correct this. And we've got the owner and CEO, Dan Clark here, and Kevin JP woods, Ph. D. Super smart, and they're going to explain to us why well quite honestly why it's so effective on me why it's so effective on my patients. And one of the most exciting things we've been trying to do this for quite a while now pre pandemic, we realised Eric and I realised that when we tried this on a few patients at the endoscopy suite, not only did patients have a better experience, they were calm going into it. They woke up quicker and almost you vigorously every patient loved without question. And so I'm so excited because they're here in town visiting from New York because we're going to end up actually doing an official study where I think it's going to be groundbreaking. I think we're going to be able to change how people feel about outpatient procedures like colonoscopies decrease the anxiety. And it's not just anecdotal. It's because there's science behind it. There is a growing movement with this, and I am just absolutely thrilled episode 64 is probably going to be our biggest episode, ever to date.Eric Rieger 5:33 I would imagine so and I don't want to take away time from you all feeding in but just so that y'all know, this is 20 months in the making, I mean, Coronavirus, COVID hit, and derailed all of our effort to really we should, we should be 20 months further down the road of actually implementing this. And it's really for patient benefit, which is what we talk about here all the time. This will enhance the experience, I believe, for people who come through and have procedures. So, Dan, Kevin JP, what's happening?Unknown Speaker 6:02 Yeah, glad to be here. Thank

There's over a million different types of mushrooms which you may or may not be aware of, however, does tune in Episode 16 starting now.Hello KBMD health family and gut check project fans. It's time now for Episode Number 60 with my awesome co host here, Dr. Kenneth Brown. I'm Eric Rieger. Dr. Brown, I think with this episode number 60 we must be a couple of fun guys.that's a that's a pretty good pun. Because today we're talking fun guy.We are talking aboutmushrooms. So we're it's pretty exciting. I was watching on Netflix of a show called fantasticfungi. logs. It was talking about that.Yeah. And so a lot of people if you get a chance go and take a look at this. Paul Stamets I learned about this pre COVID when Paul Stamets went on Joe Rogan. And at that time he was talking about it and they're trying to raise money. So I rent or I purchased the movie, sure through Amazon Prime or one of those and watched it. Because they're supposed to go to various locations and show it at theaters like yeah, like in like in really cool locations, and outdoor theaters and stuff like that COVID hit, didn't get a chance to do it. And now it's on Netflix so you can see it. It's great. But what it does show is just how complex fungi are and the whole kingdom of fungi, which includes the mushrooms, which everybody thinks of them as mushrooms, and we're gonna get into that a little bit. But today we're gonna talk about that and not just kind of what they talked about. I mean, there's a lot of stuff in the medium right now about magic mushrooms and different things like that. But we're gonna talk the nutritional aspect, because an article just came out recently and I think you're gonna start seeing a big push of people discussing Well, how do we use this as a functional food, and that's what I want to get into today.That's huge and interesting, because growing up, I think that my only exposure to mushrooms were if they happen to come in a soup or if it was a you know, a portabello or a baby Bella or just a traditionally a white Texas mushroom and really didn't know much else than if they grew in the yard. And of course your mom was like, don't touch those are probably poisonous. So I I think it's kind of amazing how people kind of transitioned on this is actually something that can be very, very beneficial given the right circumstance.Absolutely. It's so cool. There's so much science with it. And you're right like it could be poisonous. Unfortunately, a good friend of ours, Dr. Rusev, Ron, a gastroenterologist in San Antonio, if you're anywhere in that area, make an appointment with him. He's amazing. His chocolate lab ate a skullcap I believe in cause liver failure. And his poor dog is really close to his dog and so that happened to our pig.Oh, that's right. Snoop hoggy, hoggy,hoggy hog you have pig wedid and Snoop Doggy hog a to death cap and it's very sad but it literally followed the the timeline of what happens when a mammaleats exists. skullcap or death tap is a call to death camp.I was assuming skullcap was another one I didn't really know butI'm barely getting into the one You can eat, let alone a boy,but you're not supposed to. So they, I think the death caps, at least in Texas, they'll follow the tree roots of oaks or post Oaks. And we've got a lot of okay. And so we're where we lived at that time. And so he was kind of lethargic for a day or two. And then there was about three days where he was really energetic and hyperacti

So just so you know is we had an episode number 59. We do an intro several minutes into a discussion with Dr. Willa Meyer. We started recording and just didn't want to lose some of the exchange that we had at the very beginning. So without further ado, here's Episode 59. With Dr. Kristen, will, Mr. neuroscientist.Unknown Speaker 3:10 Oh my god, I had a patient last night who has ulcerative colitis and fainted and just got sent to the hospital. So she's in the hospital as we speak. Her colon is horrific. her brain. When I imaged it, it's it is off the charts anxiety. And so she's sort of the perfect illustration of, you know, the gut brain connection. And was it her anxiety that led to you know, the issues with a colon in the gut? I think so. Because she's very lean and fit and thin and healthy. But I said to her last night, I'm like you need to stay in the hospital, because she didn't she didn't want to stay but she fainted. And her her colon and her. It is it is a scary, you know situation that she's going through and and then I have a patient when I found out about your supplement, who he has horrible gas and bloating. I'm talking horrific. And he follows a lot of the dietary and nutraceutical recommendations. I mean, I've he's been a patient for my god almost a decade. But I'm learning about yourself and I'm like, wait, he needs to try this. So, you know, I was curious about the efficacy and yeah, I mean, I hear I'm like oh, I have questions for you.Ken Brown 4:32 Oh yeah, we'll send you will send you our resorts and all that stuff. And yeah, the whole backstory of that what's really hilarious is because I'm I was going to do the same thing to you. Okay, because I am giving a talk to the ataxia society this Saturday. Oh, wow. I had off the record. I had sort of forgot that I committed to it and yeah, happens to be the person that started this is a very good friend of mine actually was by a med school roommate. That She allowed her to. And so her why now in life is yes, try and help those that have a taxi. And so that's why I applaud her. It's not to let you know it's a small population of people, but it's, you know, horrific for people who are only present. But the beauty is because of your book when talking about the total volume of the cerebellum versus having 50% of the neurons. So the whole talk I'm, I'm, if you don't mind, I wanted to ask before I do this, I would like to quote you in the book and sure, do some stuff and put it in the talk specifically, I would love for sure your supplements and your brain health diet and all that other stuff,Unknown Speaker 5:43 I would be honoured. And the beautiful thing about the book, you know, sometimes people ask me why I wrote it. It's like, you know, there's brain health books out there there. People know about

Eric Rieger 0:00 Hello gut check project fans and KB MD health family. I hope you're having a great day. It is now time for episode number 58. And of course we got an awesome guest. It's Dr. Sabine Hasan, who is she a world renowned research gastroenterologist, she is based in California, and she is an expert in faecal microbial transplants, FMT trusted it fast. I couldn't do it. Anyhow FMT. So essentially you're taking healthy poop from a healthy person, and using that microbiome that's inside of there to be transplanted into somebody else who may not be doing so well and could have all kinds of disease etc. Regardless, she's at the forefront of finding real solutions that can be accepted by our bodies to make us better make us well even help you lose weight. That's right. Could poop because somebody else's poop Have you lose weight, and earmuffs in case you have any young kids in the car, but she wrote a book and it's called let's talk shit, although the AI is upside down like a exclamation point. So regardless, let's get to her interview. And well first got to pay the bills though of course brought to you by artron to artron to get your daily polyphenols that are Tron teal.com or just go to love my tummy calm get your daily polyphenols. That's right. Developed by my partner, Dr. Kenneth Brown, gastroenterologist, these polyphenols are terrific for you.

Welcome to Episode 58 of the gut check project. Ooh, today's a really, really cool one. We have Dr. Sabine Hasan, who will be our very first gastroenterologist as a guest. So I'm a gastroenterologist, but she's way smarter than I am and does all kinds of really cool stuff on read. What's that? Cool stuff? Yes. Cool stuff. Indeed. It's awesome. So I put together a quick little bio for you. I apologise that I don't have your probably standard bio. So I hope I get some of this stuff, right. This is Oh, and you'll notice there's an empty seat here where my co host, Dr. Eric riegert crna, who's usually here on time. Don't do that. It'll make it blurry. It'll make it blurry. It'll get us out of focus. He almost photo bombed us. Dr. Hayes in this is Eric reser. We've already been talking and we practically had a whole podcast before this podcast. You missed it. Sorry. Oh, that'sEric Rieger 4:05 okay. Another topic that I'd like to talk about is promptness, and being on time, that's another thing that really well, apparently I wasn't very good at today.Ken Brown 4:14 So I'm really surprised. You know, what is what's interesting, and I hope it's something that we can comment later is that Eric got a round of antibiotics. And ever since then, it's so weird. He's just always late for everything, and I'm blaming it on the microbiomeUnknown Speaker 4:26 100% I think we should test this microbiome. I'll send you a kit. That's the first thing I do.Ken Brown 4:34 Alright, so Dr. Sabine Hasan is a Board Certified gastroenterologist and avid researcher. She has a thriving practice in Ventura, California, and she started her own clinical trial company 16 years ago called Ventura clinical trials, and has been principal investigator and sub investigator in over 150 clinical trials. Now you say that number but I'm in like, For, and it was exhausting. So 150 Holy cow. Alright, so during this period, she became an expert in the microbiome with an interest in cdiff. Clostridium difficile. So through this process, she became one of the world's leaders in faecal microbial transplant. And through her research and expert, and through research and experience, she realised the unmet need to dive deeper into the microbiome. And she founded progenitor biome. So she is the founder of her own company, progenitor biome. And most recently, she published a fun, easy to read book for the lay person called let's talk shit. And I got it, and I read it and I laughed a lot. And it's really good. Written

I don't know. That's, uh, I feel like sometimes I go down rabbit holes. And I apologize if I'm too much of a nerd.
