Learn about your gut microbiome's importance and secretor status's critical role in maintaining gut health in this week's Genetics Decoded podcast with Sharon Palmer. Sharon talks about the different types of secretors—strong, mild, and non-secretors—and how your genetics influence the colonisation and efficacy of gut bacteria. Knowing your secretor status is essential before taking probiotics or altering your diet, and explore personalised healthcare approaches to better support your gut microbiome and overall health.
