Summary
World-leading microbiome scientist and surgeon with over two decades of experience, Dr James Kinross, is on the podcast today talking about everything to do with the gut. Dark Matter is his first book and I highly recommend you check it out. http://dark-matter.org.uk/
We talk about:
- Signs that your poop is unhealthy
- Some of James favourite foods and nutrition strategies to improve the gut
- Why we need to think like conservationists, and recognise that our guts are being radically altered and destroyed by our environment
- We also talk about functional gut disorders and why trauma, stress and childhood health are some of the first things James will ask about before ever reaching for a prescription pad, if at all
- We talk about the estrobolome - the interaction of hormones and our microbes
- Whether our gut can dictate food choices
- James opinions on probiotics, gut health tests and their validity
- As well as the relationship between our gut and brain health including ASD and dementia
Dr James Kinross is a senior lecturer in colorectal surgery and consultant surgeon at Imperial College London and a visiting professor at the Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland. He leads a research team defining how the microbiome causes cancer and other chronic diseases of the gut.
