"Is Your Gut Secretly Controlling You? (Plus: Why This Doctor 'Stirred Sh*t Up' to Get to the Truth)"

Hi everyone,

Could the future of medicine be hiding in our microbiome?

In Episode 13 of The Recharge Biomedical Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Sabine Hazan, a leading gastroenterologist and pioneer in fecal microbiome transplants, to explore the revolutionary potential of gut health therapies. But what really struck me was Sabine's answer when I asked how she wants to be remembered: "as the girl who stirred sh*t up."

"The girl who stirred sht up to get to the truth, to understand the microbiome and preserve the diversity of humanity,"* Sabine shared in our 3-question interview.

It's a powerful reminder that breakthrough medicine often requires challenging the status quo and fighting for scientific truth.
