Find out from Sabine Hazan MD, the world’s leading expert on gut health how your microbiome directly affects your health and your brain. She’s leading the field in understanding the microbiome.
In this episode of RegenaCast, Sean welcomes Dr. Sabine Hazan, a pioneer in the study of the microbiome, to discuss the emerging frontier of gut health and its profound impact on diseases like Alzheimer’s and COVID-19. Dr. Hazan shares her journey from conducting clinical trials for pharmaceutical companies to focusing on the microbiome, driven by her curiosity about what might trigger diseases and how they might be linked to the gut.
Dr. Hazan recounts her experience with fecal transplants and how, in one Alzheimer’s patient with C. diff, a fecal transplant led to notable improvements in both memory and quality of life. This experience ignited her passion for understanding the microbiome’s role in diseases. Her research expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic when she discovered that the virus could be found in the stool, particularly impacting levels of bifidobacteria—a critical “good” bacteria often linked to gut health and immune response.
The conversation dives into how COVID-19 affects the gut, Dr. Hazan’s hypothesis on the virus’s path through the body, and how low bifidobacteria levels correlate with severe cases of the virus. Her work illustrates that replenishing good bacteria and maintaining a balanced microbiome may be essential in warding off severe diseases, including neurodegenerative conditions.
Listeners will learn how Dr. Hazan analyzes the microbiome for her patients, testing stool samples to pinpoint imbalances and devising personalized protocols to restore gut health. She also touches on the challenges of current probiotics on the market, emphasizing the importance of bifidobacteria and her commitment to discovering products that genuinely improve gut health.
