We talk about:
- Why we’re just scratching the surface of what can be achieved with probiotics
- Karl’s own experiments with diet, microbiome and cognitive performance
- Why the evidence for manipulation of the microbiome isn’t as good as we might think

In the episode, I also mention the work of Grace Liu, who runs The Gut Institute: www.thegutinstitute.com
We mentioned her 60 day “bionic fibre” program below:
Acacia root - 1tbsp with dinner
Glucomannan - 1/2tbsp with breakfast and dinner
Inulin - 1tbsp with breakfast
These doses would need to be worked up to, and tailored to your own needs and any gut or health problems. As ever, podcasts do not replace advice from your own qualified medical practitioner who will be familiar with your own individual health concerns.
