What happens when a research scientist tests her skeptical husband’s gut health? You get a 3 out of 10 score and a lot of explaining to do.

In part two of our gut health series, Kelly finally reveals Tim’s microbiome test results, and it’s a wake-up call. From a "severe phyla imbalance" to a complete absence of the "gold star" beneficial bacteria, we look at the raw data behind Tim's chronic inflammation, skin issues, and gout.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The "3 out of 10" Score: Breaking down the four key markers: Phyla balance, diversity, beneficial species, and pathogenic species.
• The GLP-1 Connection: How a damaged gut microbiome impairs your body’s natural appetite regulation (and what that means for weight management).
• Leaky Gut & Systemic Inflammation: Why "gaps" in your intestinal lining might be the culprit behind your brain fog and mood swings.
• The Recovery Protocol: From chicory root and "mother" kombucha to the surprising benefits of cold, cooked potatoes.

Tim might still be a skeptic, but after seeing his Candida levels, he’s officially on a 60-day fermented food protocol. Join us for a science-heavy (but humor-filled) look at how to rebuild your internal ecosystem from the ground up.
