My guest today is infectious disease specialist and one of the world's leading microbiome researchers: Dr. Mahmoud Ghannoum.

Working at the Center for Medical Mycology at Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals Medical Center has brought Dr. Ghannoum to find and coin the phrase Mycobiome which is where our fungi and bacterial communities live in our body. Mycobiome is different from our microbiome and important to our overall health.

Dr. Mahmoud Ghannoum was called "the leading microbiome researcher in the world" by The Washington Post. He just released a groundbreaking new article about the gut and its connection with COVID-19 and depression. According to the latest findings, organisms found in the microbiome may be able to predict depression in patients. Considering the mental health crisis brought on by the pandemic, this research couldn't have come at a better time.
