Dr. Sabine Hazan: How Microbes Shape Memory, Mood, and the Mind

What if the secret to unlocking the mysteries of our minds, our health, and even our happiness is hiding in the most unexpected place—our own gut?

Could the answers to our most stubborn health mysteries—and maybe even the secret to a longer, happier life—be found in the microbes we’ve spent a lifetime trying to avoid?

How does our microbiome affect conditions like depression, Parkinson's, and autism?

Research from this week’s guest shows that optimizing microbial health can dramatically improve our quality of life, leading to enhanced memory and cognition and reversing symptoms of Alzheimer's. After microbial transplants, some patients even started regrowing their hair!

Our guest today, Dr. Sabine Hazan, is a trailblazer and pioneering specialist in gastroenterology, internal medicine, and hepatology. Dr. Hazan is the Founder & CEO of the Malibu Specialty Center and Ventura Clinical Trials where she conducts and oversees clinical trials for cutting-edge research. She’s also a top clinical investigator for multiple pharmaceutical companies, and an author to boot.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
• The many unexpected benefits of microbiome transplants
• How sunlight, exercise, and hobbies like gardening actually improve our microbial health and resilience
• How changing the way we think affects our microbiome
• And much more…
