Dr. Kiran Krishnan: Revolutionizing Health Through Gut Microbiota

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, our guest Dr. Kiran Krishnan joins our host Dr. Ted Achacoso to give one-cent solutions to life’s $64,000 questions that include:
What are the most exciting clinical developments in the field of gut microbiota and probiotic supplementation?
How do outer membrane vesicles violate the dogma that bacteria and human cells should not communicate directly?
Why is the gut microbiota now considered an organ in the body that is postnatal, or an organ that grows right after birth?
Kiran Krishnan is a Research Microbiologist and has been involved in the dietary supplement and nutrition market for the past 17 years. He comes from a strict research background having spent several years with hands-on R&D in the fields of molecular medicine and microbiology at the University of Iowa. He left University research to take a position as the U.S. Business Development and Product Development lead for Amano Enzyme, USA. Amano is one of the world’s largest suppliers of therapeutic enzymes used in the dietary supplement and pharmaceutical industries in North America. Kiran also established a Clinical Research Organization where he designed and conducted dozens of human clinical trials in human nutrition.

What’s the deal between cancer and glucose and glucosamine and the mitochondria? I was listening to a cancer researcher I believe he was saying that fermentation damages the mitochondria. What are your thoughts on this. I’ve been directed to glucosamine to help heal leaky gut but according to the article on fermentation, glucosamine and glucose and cancer, it doesn’t sound good. Please help in understanding this.

Carnivore diet is the most anti-inflammatory, it also causes a healthy microbiome.

[@jakedog4264]

I’ve been carnivore for the last 3 years and my gut got worse and got sibo

[@georgemoonman2830]

@@jakedog4264 then why are you still on it? Your claim makes no sense.
