Join us as we delve into the fascinating microbiome and gut health world, whilst debunking some useful information. In this episode, gut expert Chantel Yates joins me to discuss the differences between the microbiome and microbiota, and review various testing methods—from traditional culture and qPCR to 16S sequencing and metagenomics. We also highlight the importance of microbial diversity and explore key microbial metabolites (IPA, SCFAs, Hexa-LPS) and markers (BCAAs, TMA).

We then shift our focus to treatment approaches, discussing the need for SIBO testing and debunking common misconceptions about parasites, including Dientamoeba fragilis and Blastocystis hominis. This episode is perfect for any student or newly qualified naturopath—or anyone who is a gut nerd.
