My guest on today's show, Dr. Chidozie Ojobor, has devoted his entire career to unraveling the complexities of biological systems, particularly the gut microbiome.
In this episode, you'll dive deep into the Vitract gut microbiome test with Dr. Chidozie and I. He'll dissect my personal Vitract results, giving you a firsthand look at what this test can reveal. You'll also explore how 16s sequencing technology identifies the diverse bacteria living in your gut, what the test can tell you about your gut diversity, the balance between beneficial and harmful bacteria, the production of microbial metabolites, and signs of gut dysbiosis. Plus, you'll discover how these results can be used to create personalized recommendations for your diet, probiotics, and lifestyle changes.
Dr. Ojobor is a scientist with over 15 years of research experience in bacterial genetics. He has a bachelor's degree in microbiology and obtained his Ph.D. in molecular genetics from the University of Toronto. Dr. Ojobor has spent a decade developing novel antimicrobial entities that target disease-causing bacteria in complex biological ecosystems such as the gut. In 2019, he won the Global Citizen Award for combating drug-resistant bacteria implicated in exacerbating cystic fibrosis. Dr. Ojobor’s previous research experience includes phage therapy, CRISPR technology, and gastroenteritis of viral origin in children.
Today, he and his team at Vitract are transforming that research expertise into developing comprehensive and accessible gut microbiome testing for clinicians who are keen on improving the gut health of their clients. Vitract (use code BEN10 to save 10%) combines molecular microbiology, complex math, and AI to transform the gut health of Canadians and Americans.
Their flagship 16s gut microbiome sequencing test, which I did and which Dr. Ojobor and I discuss on this show, has garnered widespread adoption and is now actively employed in numerous clinics.
Vitract's test stands out on two crucial fronts: accessibility and actionability. With an affordable price point, customers can now seamlessly incorporate gut testing into their health regimen, facilitating retesting to gauge progress over time. The test results and detailed reports that you receive with Vitract not only illuminate the composition of the gut microbiome but, more importantly, provide actionable insights on how to modify bacteria for optimal health. Dr. Ojobor and his team's commitment to making advanced gut health insights accessible and actionable marks a significant leap forward in personalized healthcare.

0:00.0 | My name is Ben Greenfield life podcast. |
0:04.0 | The Viterat test, it's a 16S-based test where we basically identify the distribution of the different |
0:11.4 | bacteria and a keyer that is in your God. |
0:14.0 | But what the test gives you an insight into is it gives you an insight into your God |
0:18.9 | diversity and when we talk about God diversity we're talking more about the richness of your |
0:24.4 | gods that is the total number of species that is your gods but how evenly spread out they are |
0:29.8 | as well. Another thing that the test does for you is we give you insights into the |
0:33.9 | metabolize that they might be producing. So here we're not primarily |
0:37.4 | measuring the metabolize themselves because you cannot do that with the 16SS |
0:41.0 | but we can give you insight into the metabolize that your |
0:45.4 | gut profile may be produced and based off on your result. Fitness, nutrition, |
0:50.5 | biohacking, longevity, life optimization, spirituality, and a whole lot more. |
0:57.0 | Welcome to the Ben Greenfield Life Show. |
1:00.0 | Are you ready to hack your life? Let's talk quantum upgrade. So this is a little bit weird, but you can actually |
1:17.8 | blast your house with positive energies from afar. I'm not joking and they've done |
1:22.0 | placebo-controlled double-blind |
1:23.4 | studies shown to improve red and white blood cells and reverse stage one and |
1:28.6 | stage two of blood clodding within minutes and to increase ATP production by 29%, kind of like a turbo boost for your energy levels. |
1:37.0 | And so there's this dashboard, you go in after you sign up for this thing called the quantum upgrade |
1:42.0 | and you can adjust like the frequencies that you want to get |
1:44.4 | bombarded with during the day. You can target your pet, your phone, your business, your home, your |
1:49.9 | bedroom, you name it. And it's called the quantum upgrade. I was kind of skeptical at first, but I mean when I turned it on and turned it on too high and couldn't sleep the first three nights, I was like, dude, there's something going on here. I think it was way beyond placebo. So anyways, if you want to check it out, wrap your head around it, try it and try it free. You know, so no financial risk here.
