In this episode, I’m joined by Erin O'Meara and Jason Hawrelak to discuss their groundbreaking study, "Preventing chemotherapy-induced diarrhea and microbiota imbalances with prebiotics and probiotics in breast cancer treatment: A case report."

We explore how strategic use of prebiotics and probiotics can support gut health during chemotherapy, reduce side effects like diarrhea, and maintain microbiota balance during breast cancer treatment. This insightful conversation highlights the power of gut health in cancer care and offers hope for a more holistic approach to managing treatment-related challenges. 

If you or someone you know is navigating cancer treatment, or if you’re passionate about the potential of microbiota-based therapies, this episode is essential listening.
