I’m super excited to share an interview I did with Kiran Krishnan. He’s a microbiologist, researcher, and an all-around brilliant guy! He specializes in the microbiome and its impacts on our health.
We had a two hour chat about everything from:
- how to repair a dysfunctional microbiome
- what are the best supplements to take during pregnancy
- how to optimize your baby’s gut post-birth (whether via c-section or vaginal delivery)
- how to make your house a bacteria haven (in a good way!)
- what’s the best diet during pregnancy
- how do fermented foods help us (not how you think!)
And on… and on… and on!
I am going to share snippets of our conversation in small, topic driven segments to make it easier to view and absorb all of this amazing information. Check out some of Kiran’s formulas at Just Thrive Probiotics.
