Abstract
Kiran Krishnan is a research microbiologist who has been studying the microbiome for over 15 years. Prepare to be astounded as he chats to Max all about the human microbiome, how it makes the human species resilient and adaptable but also how decreasing microbial diversity may in turn lead to reduced resilience, genetic capabilities and a decline in the human species. We are basically eating to feed our microbiome to enable us to survive. They discuss quorum sensing where microbes can influence the overall diversity of species in the gut simply by sensing the signals of other microbes. Plus they debate the drivers of SIBO and how it may not actually be a condition but a symptom of dysfunction within the gut, and the importance of urolithin A for cellular function particularly mitochondria repair and how to cultivate this via our microbes. We know that probiotics can play a key role in promoting the growth of gut bacteria, but what happens in the digestive tract, do they survive? Krishnan delves into the probiotic world and highlights how spore based probiotics have been created to mimic nature and may increase their efficacy.

Uric acid and metabolic health with Dr David Perlmutter MD
Dr Rupy Aujla is an NHS medical doctor who reversed his heart condition using a food and lifestyle approach after diving deep into the literature and learning more about nutritional medicine. He started the Doctor’s Kitchen in 2015, as a way to teach others how they can cook their way to health and showcase that food is medicine.
2023
Abstract
A unique deep dive into uric acid levels and their impact on metabolic health. Rupy and David discuss how we now have less uricase to break down uric acid compared to our ancestors and what this means living in our current environment with an abundance of calorie dense food and home comforts. Downstream effects of elevated uric acid levels are considered related to metabolic dysfunction as they have been shown to correlate with hypertension, insulin resistance and inflammation due to both the inhibition of nitric oxide and enhancing gut permeability. They look at how to mitigate the effects of high uric acid levels by reducing fructose consumption, and increasing dietary bioflavanoids and hormetic stress.

Patti & Michael Discuss The Gut-Brain Axis (Rebroadcast)
Genova Diagnostics' podcast, The Lab Report, is focused on functional & integrative medicine, specialty laboratory diagnostics, and natural therapeutics. Join hosts Michael Chapman, ND,Patti Devers, DO, and assorted guests, as they bring their own unique style to the health & wellness discussion. It is aimed at providing the same type of educational content that Genova is well-known for, but to the larger audience of functional & integrative practitioners of all experience levels.
2021
Abstract
In this episode, Patti and Michael discuss some of the mechanisms by which this axis sends and receives those signals. They also talk about the importance of addressing both when optimizing health. The commensal bacteria in our gut and their metabolites can directly affect our memory and mood, while our brain can alter bacterial patterns and GI function. They also chat about the communication mechanisms from the GI tract to the brain, how the brain affects the gut and how to support treatment - also using Genova diagnostics functional tests. To conclude, they talk about the latest research in regards to psychobiotics and their role in influencing neurotransmitter production and, consequently, our mood.

Abstract
Many of us think of the dentist as a place we go when we have a hole in our tooth. The dentist fixes the hole and that’s the end of the story. But dentist, Dr Steven Lin, explains why oral health is really a message of what’s going on in the rest of the body. He believes that we can prevent diseases by understanding the signs and symptoms and recognising that chronic diseases don’t just happen overnight. He explains why good oral health is about so much more than just brushing and flossing – our breathing, our sleep and our nutrient levels all play an important role. We discuss the link between the oral microbiome and the gut microbiome. Steven also talks about the simple strategies that we can all adopt to improve our overall health.
