237 - Talking Sh*t with Dr. Sabine Hazan: Getting to the Bottom of Your Digestive Health

Kyle Jones is joined by Dr. Sabine Hazan and Dr. Hugh Beatty to explore the powerful connection between gut health and overall immunity. Dr. Hazan shares her journey from traditional GI practice and pharmaceutical clinical trials to becoming a leading voice in microbiome research during the COVID-19 pandemic.   They discuss the critical role of bifidobacteria — the beneficial gut bacteria she believes are central to immune resilience — and her "Save the Bif" movement to raise awareness about their dramatic decline in modern populations. The conversation covers microbiome diversity, immune response, severe COVID, autism, autoimmune disease, and long COVID, as well as the overuse of antibiotics, probiotics, and gut "cleanses."   This episode challenges conventional thinking and highlights the future of personalized, microbiome-centered medicine, and why protecting your gut, and "saving the bif," may be key to protecting your health.
