Lucy Mailing is a microbiome researcher, educator, and passionate scholar of integrative, evidence-based gut health.

She received her Bachelor’s in Biology from Kalamazoo College and her PhD in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Illinois. Lucy has authored several peer-reviewed journal articles related to the microbiome and health and was named an Emerging Leader in Nutritional Sciences by the American Society for Nutrition in 2017.

I have been following Lucy’s research for years, and I was excited to sit down with her to discuss how the microbiome impacts virtually every aspect of our health.  We talk about factors that impact the gut lining, methods we can use to screen for intestinal permeability and gut dysbiosis, and actions we can take to support our microbiome.
