Dr. Neil and I dive into the complexity of the gut microbiome, challenging the notion that a single probiotic strain can fix everything. We explore how diversity—not one 'superbug'—may be the real key to gut health. We also unpack how fecal transplants work, why antibiotics often do more harm than good, and if fermented foods are necessary or ideal.

Dr. Neil Stollman is a practicing gastroenterologist based in Oakland, California, and serves as voluntary faculty at UCSF. A pioneer in the field of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), he has been involved in gut microbiome research and treatment for over two decades. Known for his work with Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and broader gut health issues, Dr. Stollman brings a balanced and often humorous perspective to microbiome science.

We discuss the following:

• All about Dr. Neil Stollman
• The importance of gut health
• All about Akkermansia
• Glyphosate and other antimicrobial foods
• FMT (Fecal Microbiota Transplantation)
• Getting sick from C. diff (Clostridioides difficile)
• Strengthening the Microbiome
• Do we need Ferments
• Thoughts on giving antibiotics to people with C. diff
• Symptoms of H. pylori
• Thoughts on long-term PPI use
• Why gut doctors prescribe PPIs
• Thoughts on colon tests
• Where to find Dr. Neil Stollman

In this solo episode, I wanted to share some real talk. Context matters. Whether talking about health, science, or the people we follow for guidance, it’s easy to get swept up in headlines, credentials, or even a few well-spoken soundbites. But beneath the surface, we have to ask better questions. Who’s funding the research? What patterns show up over time in someone's stance? What are the biases and motives? 

I share some tools I personally use when evaluating health info (or really, anything): assessing character, noticing patterns over time, and sometimes, simply trusting my gut. My hope is that this episode empowers you to be both curious and cautious, confident yet open-minded, and above all, grounded in your own values as you navigate your health journey.

• Intro
• Context matters with Dr. Peter Mccullough
• Critical thinking matters (don’t blindly follow)
• Beyond the headlines
• Longevity of a person's stance
• Character and motive
• Bias in the source
• Phone a friend
• Trust your gut
• Some of my 23.5 hours in a day 
• Bonus: "Vitamin A, baaaaad"
