The Perfect Stool Understanding and Healing the Gut Microbiome

by Lindsey Parsons

Are you struggling to restore your gut to perfect health? Hear host Lindsey Parsons interview functional and integrative medicine professionals, patients and scientists about the gut microbiome, the current state of research and how they approach treating IBS, IBD, candida, constipation, diarrhea, GERD, gastritis, SIBO and other digestive issues. Hear patients talk about their experiences with fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) both in clinics and do-it-yourself and how it impacted their gastrointestinal issues. Learn about the gut microbiome's influence not just on digestive health, but on cardiovascular health, mental health (including anxiety, depression, ADHD and autism), autoimmune diseases, skin conditions and overweight/obesity.
