With a PhD in microbiology, her work focuses on understanding the feline gut microbiome and helping cats live longer, healthier lives through science-based care.

In this episode, we explore one of the most powerful — yetoften overlooked — drivers of a cat’s overall well-being: the feline gut microbiome. Dr. Ganz explains, in simple and approachable terms, how the trillions of microbes living in your cat’s gut influence far more than digestion, including immune function, behavior, weight regulation, andlongevity.

You’ll learn what disrupts a cat’s microbiome — fromantibiotics and diet changes to stress and environmental factors — and the early warning signs cat parents often miss, such as vomiting, diarrhea, weight changes, and subtle shifts in mood or energy.
This empowering conversation gives cat parents practical, science-backed insights to better understand what’s happening inside their cat’s body — and how to be proactive about long-term gut and overall health.

Perfect for:
Cat parents • Feline wellness advocates • Preventive health seekers • Anyonewanting to understand cat health beyond symptoms
