Your Longevity Blueprint

146: How a Healthy Microbiome Impacts Longevity, Part 1 with Kiran Krishnan


Listen Later

Kiran Krishnan, the Founder of Microbiome Labs, joins me today for the first part of a two-part series on how a healthy microbiome impacts longevity. Kiran is a pure genius and unpacks a lot in this series! 

Today, in Part 1, he provides in-depth examples of why gut health translates into full-body health. He gets into what spore-based probiotics are and where they come from, and he also shares about psycho-biotics for mental health.

Ways in which spores change the terrain in the gut:

  • They modulate the immune response against other microbes
  • They produce compounds that target certain organisms and modulate certain aspects of the immune response
  • They increase the monitoring, scope, and understanding of the microbial environment for your intestinal lining cells and immune cells 
  • They directly impact the presence of pathogens 

  • About Kiran Krishnan:
